Bathroom Inspiration: Honoring the Past, Elevating the Present


If you've been following our home renovation journey, you know we're taking our time with every detail- because rushing through a space with so much history just wouldn't feel right. Now, we're onto the bathrooms. And with 4 1/2 of them to transform, let's just say my Pinterest boards are working overtime. 

The goal is to preserve the dignity of my early 1900s home while embracing timeless simplicity. I want each bathroom to feel bright, elegant and calming- like stepping into a luxury retreat in the 1900's that just happens to be in your own home.

The Fixtures:  Lefroy Brooks Love Affair

When it comes to plumbing fixtures,  Lefroy Brooks has completely stolen my heart. Their pieces look like they were made for this house- classic, substantial and effortlessly chic. Think polish nickel, cross-handle faucets and clawfoot tub fillers that whisper 'old money elegance' without trying too hard. Quality and durability are non-negotiable and   Lefroy Brooks delivers on both.

Balancing Old & New

My new home has so much original charm and I refuse to erase it. Instead, I want to enhance it. That means: Neutral, muted tones- soft creams, warm whites and natural textures to keep things serene.
Classic lighting- sconces with a vintage feel, keeping that early 1900's magic alive.

The powder room will have its own little moment- maybe a moody wallpaper moment? We'll see!

The Takeaway 
Bathrooms should feel like a pause, not an afterthought. Whether it's a quick morning routine or an end-of-day unwind, I want these spaces to feel just as intentional as the rest of the home.

Now, tell me- what's your dream bathroom aesthetic? Would you go full vintage or mix in modern elements? Let's talk in the comments!
