Pleated Sink Skirt

A linen skirt attached with Velcro to a pedestal sink camouflages the pipes beneath. Tiny knife pleats add extra detail to the shirred top.




Antique Touches

A new master bath looks original thanks to its apron-front sink with toile skirt; old record cabinets provide storage.




Copper Tub

Homeowners found the gleaming copper tub in the master bath on eBay.




Baroque Bathroom

Awash in style, the well-appointed bathroom makes its focal point the tub, thanks to the siding.




Loft Style Bathroom

For quick and easy installation, try sheets of smaller tiles, like these two-inch tiles, found here in one-foot square sheets. Exposed chimney bricks act as foils for the coolness of the color scheme and the sleekness of the metal furniture.




Storage Solution

Both the dresser and cabinet not only provide loads of storage, but unlike built-ins, they can be repurposed and rearranged when needed.




Vintage Revival

Subtle touches of pink soften a black-and-white vintage bath.




Repurposed Cabinets

A sink placed into an antique painted dresser allows ample room for bathroom accessories.




Tumbled-Stone Tiles

Eight-inch-square tumbled-stone tiles cover the floor and shower stall. To get the same effect without the expense and maintenance required in caring for real stone, consider look-alike ceramic tiles, many of which are manufactured in Italy.
