Montrose 1920s Cape Ann Restoration Houston TX Jared Meadors
Guest bath in 1920s Cape Ann style house in Montrose (Houston, TX).
Tall, angled shot from doorway of bathroom.
Here you can see the shower vault and tile designs better.
Note the multiple black accents (crown at top of tile, thin "pencil" insert two rows lower, 3x6 insert two rows below that, another thin black insert four rows below that, the 2" black mud cap frame around the shower niche, another 3x6 row of black around the tub, and then a 4" black "sanitary base" at the very bottom.
(If you look closely you can see a variation in the white subway tile as well... because we used four or five slightly different shades of white (including both glossy and matte) all mixed together randomly). This gives the tile a bit more depth and personality--and mimics the irregular quality of vintage subway tiles.
The cabinets are suspended / cantilevered off the floor completely (ensuring a long life since they will never get wet). Doors are inset / English style with non-mortise finial hinges... giving them a more vintage / antique / furniture type feel.
The center section of the cabinets bumps out just deep enough to support the square vessel that sits on top.
The countertop material is Black Lightning marble cut down to 3" squares; the backsplash material is Carrara marble cut down to small bricks and laid in a running bond pattern (like the subway tile).
The floor is a black and white basketweave pattern.
