Bath Reno #7: Traditional in Park Slope

At $13,000, today’s bathroom renovation comes in a little higher than some of the others we’ve featured. Judging from the before (on the jump) and after pics of this Park Slope reno, it looks like it was well worth it—we think the owner did a great job of using traditional fixtures while also creating a very clean, light feel. Here’s what he told us about what materials went into the place:
The wall tiles are Italian “subway” style tiles, floors are white carrera mosaic with negro marquina inserts, with matching counter. All the tile is from Fuda Tile in Jersey. Fixtures are all Kohler except wc which is by Porcher. Faucets are Kohler Pinstripe series. I chose to glass block over the window because I didn’t want the maintenance headache of a window in the tub surround but I wanted to maintain some natural light. Bath is vented to the ouside and includes a central ac register so ventilation is not an issue. The enclosed steam riser makes for a comfortable radiant heated wall in the winter.
Nice job!

Very nice, without being screamingly “chic” or ostentatious. A timeless renovation that won’t get tired after a few years.
Ever hear of two people using the sinks at the same time – like in the morning, 11:04? Besides, it’s nice to have “your” sink, with your products at hand, toothbrush, etc, and the other person has theirs.
Nice job. I would have found a way to make the clawfoot work, but I understand the aesthetic of the entirelly new bathroom. Very nice, without being screamingly “chic” or ostentatious. A timeless renovation that won’t get tired after a few years.
Does this have radiant heat or some other kick ass heating system in there. Must be arctic in there with all that stone.
Great job. Love the double sink. Is that a granite countertop? I’d be interested to know what the dimensions of the room are, and how long that bathtub is.

Nice job.
And I love this feature. Please post more like it.
Yeah, I always wonder if in 10 or 20 (or 5)years, people are going to say “double sinks are sooo 2005.” Of course, I think they’ll be saying that about stainless steel kitchen appliances next year. I still think it looks great. Places to put all your stuff, but it doesn’t look too cramped. Congrats on getting it done.
11:04.
we recently rennovated and I (husband) demanded a double sink (for our 2 br, one bath apt). My wife initially wasn’t for it, but I convinced her to do it. More than a year later, she commented on how much she loves the double sink. (If only the wives listened to the husbands….)
In short, its nice to have your own little spot. I was thinking if we had one sink, I would not get any space as it would get overwhelmed with oogie girl things. I have empty drawers and cabinets..and I’m loving it……
I like the old school look. very tastefully done. I’m sure it makes bath time much more fun
Kudos.
