Atlanta Home Improvement – Extreme Makeovers
December 2007
At Kara O’Brien Renovations, bathrooms are our sweet spot. And bathrooms can have specifc personalities depending on vanity/pedestal sink type, tile selection (or wood selection), accessories like stained glass or woodwork, medicine cabinet or mirror. We specialize at crafting historic bathrooms that jell with the existing spaces and add to the character of your time-tested home.
Black and White Luxury
This beautiful and tranquil bathroom harkens back to a simpler time, even though it is located in the downstairs new addition of the home. Marble black & white basket weave tile are set in a black marble border to mimic the look of a rug. White cararra marble wainscoting runs up the walls and is capped with a marble chair rail. The black granite sink is a countertop recycled from a client renovation (we got rid of the vanity), supported by hefty cast iron brackets. The focal point of the room, the restored claw foot tub, is one of the few things original to the house and was moved from the upstairs.
The door is an antique Victorian exterior door. We installed a Queen-Anne style stained glass panel (with frosted glass for privacy), refinished the door, and added antique hardware to complete the look.
This bathroom was featured in Atlanta Home Improvement Magazine.
