The floor is beautiful, but why on earth did you decide to make the shower so small? I mean, unless that’s an oversized broom it looks like it’s nowhere near big enough for anyone but a very thin person to shower in.
Unless the photos are deceiving you’ve got room to double that to 42×64. Make it a two person shower and even put a bench in it. Decadent, luxurious master en suite.
I stand corrected about what size of person can fit into that shower then, but I do find it incredibly funny that a shower that’s literally two inches smaller on every side than the one in my 1976 doublewide is considered “oversized.” Given that my shower has just enough room for me to stand up and do a full turn in front of my shower chair, I can’t imagine how tiny and cramped a standard shower would be!
I would move that tub a little farther away from the windows. Remember, you are going to have to clean behind it. If you’ve got the room and the inclination…rotate it 90 degrees so you can look directly out the windows while you’re sitting in it. It will be the focal point of the room.
This looks amazing Ross! I love the tub. I am restoring a 50 year old Tudor style dollhouse, and I think of you every time I work on it. Talk about baby steps.Miniature baby steps! So much patience is involved, which is not my strong suit, but I am learning. I am designing it 1930s style, inspired by All Creatures Great and Small.
My house is 1922 with a 1949 kitchen and bathroom remodel, plus added master bedroom. Most of the house is 20s/30s but the kitchen and bathroom are more 50s and I wasn’t going to replace tile and cabinets. I did replace light fixtures and door knobs. Of course, the fun thing is that I have multiple periods to choose from. I bought a vintage O’Keefe and Merritt stove, probably late 40s and a vintage Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster. I’ve got vintage furniture in the dining and living room and my bed is supposedly from the 20s from Italy. I use two old radio cabinets (no insides) for bedside tables. What I love about the 20s and 30s is all of that veneer with grain going in different directions to make a pattern.
There are some fabulous 1930s reproduction wallpapers available now. Even reproduction modern appliances like refrigerators. I would look into a vintage stove, though. No matter what you spend it’s better than replacing your stove every 7-10 years because a touch panel dies and there are no replacements.
Very nice!
It turned out so well!
Sandra!
Who did that work? They are “artist”! SO much shine and so clean.
Where does the door go, the one with the pipe in the floor in front of it? And that floor is sooooo beautiful!
I think that is the door that leads out to over the front door.
Hi, Arkay! That door used to go to the porch roof. I removed the porch in 2014 and the door has been sealed since.
I must say there’s a certain ravished beauty in the tattered remains of the previous wall finishes.
it does give a nice effect. Someone somewhere is PAYING for their walls to be treated that way!

The shower is oversized. It’s 42×32

Bunny, I installed the same size pan the the bathroom downstairs. It’s a comfortable size.
My shower in the big house though is 5-foot x 5-foot. And has a bamboo stool in it! It’s wonderful!
That floor is stunning!!
Mirror finish! Lovely, dahlink.
It was still wet when I took the image. Today, it was satin. Still gorgeous!
Oooo la la. Looking forward to the next set of pictures, dahlink.
The floor came out amazing.

That floor is beautiful, this will be such a luxurious bathroom when it’s finished.

Thank you, always, for the inspiration.
Hugs! Big ones!
I love it. Love the show and the time period.

It’s so shiny! Love it.
It looks like such a wonderful place to soak in the tubl
