Bathroom renovations

I'm looking for some inspiration for my bathroom renovation in a brownstone extension...can anyone recommend websites for me to peruse?

Comments

Hit the house tours for inspiration.
From May to October, the best house and garden tours in the Big Apple are in Brooklyn. Beginning in Clinton Hill from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 3, the first rain or shine tour costs $20. This one is sponsored by the Society for Clinton Hill. It visits 10 spaces in all, including carriage houses, mansions, brownstones and apartments. This year’s highlight is described by Columbia architecture professor Andrew Dolkart as “probably the most beautiful free-standing Italianate mansion in all of New York.” We think it’s on Clinton Ave., but you’ll have to take the tour to see for yourself. For more information, call (917) 292-8042. Other upcoming neighborhood house tours include Brooklyn Heights Associations tour on May 9 for $30, the Park Slope Civic Council’s 50th Annual House Tour on May 17 for $20, and the 39th Annual Prospect Lefferts Gardens House and Garden Tour on May 31 for $20. Contact the above organizations for details.

I'm not sure what is exactly their website...but give Micheal a call. He is a brownstone specialist and renovated my bathroom recently. He is a great guy and you will definitely get a good deal. You can reach him at 1347-792-1266. good luck!!!!

google "design blogs" etc. Some good ones: remodelista, apartmenttherapy. websites and magazines like: dwell.

websites of hi-end European KI and BA companies (modern styles): Boffi, Poliform, etc

NY real estate listings for Brooklyn townhouses. Lots of pics of baths there.

Good luck.

Not online, but if you're up for a trip to the library, the central Brooklyn library at Grand Army Plaza has a surprisingly good home reno/interior design section on the 3rd floor. Check out some of the bathroom books.
