Revolutionary: Award Winning Guest Suite, "After"
This bathroom space is a part of the Pennsylvania Room, an award-winning guest bedroom space at Anderson House in Washington, D.C. Replacing the previous valance, sheers and roller shade, are new Hunter Douglas Parkland wood blinds, and a reupholstered custom cornice, formerly in the bedroom space. The sink skirt was used to hide the pipes under the sink. The gold and cream wallpaper in a damask pattern overlaid on a stripe, make the marble of the bathroom appear whiter. The lighting fixtures, sink, and marble wainscoting and floor are all original to this historic house. Note the cutout at the bottom right of the tailored sink skirt, to get around the pipes and still hang straight. A contrast blue is used for welting at the hem of the cornice, and at the pleats of the sink skirt, and inset into the pleats. It also lines the shower curtain. Two French collector plates show the Marquis de Lafayette at City Tavern, Philadelphia, and at the Battle of Brandywine, as the bathroom continues to tell the story of Pennsylvania in the Revolutionary War.
