One thing that my mother did very well was to remodel rooms to still fit the period of the house. This is the master bathroom. I love the shade of green that she chose, and the tile and wallpaper. It still fits into the style of homes from that time. That little room in back used to be connected with a window, and we would have to climb through it. She always thought that it would make a good nursery.
I love this tub and the decor. My mother could even make grab bars look elegant. I love the towels, the candles, and the seashells. The faucet handles are a nice touch, too.
My father always referred to this room as The Solarium. He said it would be a good place for a sick person to recover. I always found that amusing. There used to be a bed in there. The shutters let in the light nicely. I think it would make a sweet knitting or sewing room, don't you?

ReplyDeleteI too like those old fashion faucet handles.
Thank you Nil. The details make all of the difference.
DeleteAnother beautiful example of your mum's lovely sense of style. I love the net curtain at the window. It looks like crochet doilies. The little sun room would make a cosy reading/crafting nook. I can almost feel the warmth seeping into my aching bones
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cherie. I love those crocheted curtains, too. That little room does get a lot of sun.

DeleteI have been enjoying seeing the photos of your family home. Did you take them all during your birthday visit with your dad? If so, it makes my heart happy to see he is able to keep up the house in just the manner your mother wanted it to kept. I can also see where your sense of style and decorating comes from. You and your mom seem to be birds of a feather! My mom died 12 years ago this month and I miss her every day. Happy belated birthday to you both.
ReplyDeleteHi Anita, I bet you miss your mom. It's a difficult loss. Thank you for the birthday wishes. My mom died three years ago. I took these photos after she died.
DeleteI think that little room would be a lovely place to sew, with the light coming in softly through the shutters. The bathroom looks a very calming room with such gentle colours and style. Meg:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful description, Meg. I love your writing. It is a very calming room, perfect for a soak in the tub.
