The story

  • 01Window restoration
  • 02Custom painted vanity
  • 03Encaustic floor
  • 04Ventilation upgrade

A previous remodel had boxed in the double-hung window. We rebuilt the opening, restored the sashes, and let the treetops become the room’s artwork.

A painted vanity with a walnut top and green floor tile keeps things grounded and easy to live with for a family of five.
