Small Bathroom Makeover

A well-designed bathroom should be a place where you can escape and find peace. This pine-clad bathroom with an acrylic corner tub had potential for style with a bit of revamping, but the owner, Melanie, didn't want any radical changes. Looking to create a traditional feel, I used color and a touch of glamour for this makeover. Some of the changes were simple, like giving an antique French chair a new life. On the other hand, some of the changes were more challenging, such as restoring an antique roll-top tub. The most radical change I made was laying down black-and-white flooring -- diagonally -- to give the room a sense of depth. Coming up: a romantic, yet traditional bathroom.
