THE BATHROOMS

Early on, the couple decided against glass showers, preferring the practicality and appearance of tiled enclosures instead. Jane loved the idea of a typical 1960s bathroom with tiled vanity tops, and wanted one bathroom with brass or copper fittings from Heritage Bathware. However, laying so many tiles wasn’t an easy feat and the project became a balancing act between achieving clean lines and a seamless effect while meeting waterproofing requirements.

“Troy, our tiler, was a legend – the three of us spent many hours together in the bathrooms, brainstorming the best problem-solving strategies,” Jane recalls. The end result is a beautiful turquoise bathroom with a warm, beachy vibe. “It was a super-scary risk that went against popular opinion but worked out way better than I hoped,” says Jane. Andy got on the tools to build the wooden vanities, too.
