This bathroom had four layers of old flooring, including a top layer of carpet (carpet – in a bathroom!) that had to be removed before we could lay the tile. The layout was changed to make room for a vintage Kohler avocado green bathroom set. The “post-faux” vanity was found in a neighbor’s garage – a dusty old antique piece that had been refinished in a faux-antique style years ago, then naturally distressed for a second time after years of neglect sitting in a garage.

The stipulation that there be a full-sized bed on the West wall of this small room made it difficult to find other pieces that could fit. But with a flexible eclecticism and a limited color scheme, we managed to turn it into a striking yet functional guest bedroom, complete with dresser, desk, mirrors, bedstand, cubbies, ottoman, that could be easily converted into a children’s room in the future.
