The story

01Shop-built vanity
02Plaster repair
03Copper fixtures
04Oak floor refinish

Powder rooms are where clients let us be a little braver. We wrapped the walls in a deep, chalky green and hung an antique oval mirror the homeowners found at Eastern Market.

The louvered vanity was built and finished in our shop, then scribed on site to walls that are anything but straight.
