Artistically inclined homeowners envisioned a primary bathroom that honored the architectural heritage of their Tower Grove East home, while embracing bold choices in material and color. Staying true to the home’s early 1900s roots, modern elements are layered with industrial brass plumbing fixtures set against dramatic Viola marble countertops and carved Carrara wall tile. Pressed glass lighting, a new clawfoot tub, rich stained wood paneling and a carefully sourced vintage chandelier add period-appropriate charm and texture, striking a thoughtful balance between old and new.

Why the judges love it:

The vintage bathtub and fixtures are integrated well with the modern feel of the color palette chosen. Attractive wainscotting adds to the elegant charm of the space and provides texture that matches the vanity drawers. Additionally, the spacious shower provides a touch of practicality and versatility that makes this bathroom well rounded in its design.
