The idea with my client was to create within their historic home a replacement for the 60s style (public) first floor bathroom in their home, with one that reflected the ship building here in Thomaston, Maine Its been coined locally as yachtcitecture. Inpired by the detailed yet small staterooms of the ship Titanic, We set out to do a 1890s style Bath of Mixed woods, of Mahagony, Ebony(stained maple) and figured birch in a wainscott and coffered ceiling. the walls are covered in embossed heavy wallpaper painted in a semigloss to look like the old enamels of the day , all the wood work around the tub and floor were Epoxy coated in and out. All wood work got 8 coats of Epifanes spar varnish, all the fixtures are nickel plated, the “towel” bars around the tub are all solid grab rails. the sink is modern the tub and tiolet are original to the house.

Stunning. Very well done. You did a lot with a small space and captured the stateroom character perfectly.
