Raelene decided to tackle an art deco bathroom remodel while living in her house.
The art deco inspired bathroom is cute, but not stylish enough to keep in its original state. The glass block pyramid serves no purpose, and removing it opens up the space to look much larger.
The new “after” bathroom is much more open and feels more spacious. The walls were painted a rust red paint color. It still looks neutral while having personality, leaving the historic home with more character than a new build. (However, some new homes can still have a lot of charm).
Do you live in a historic home? Did you keep any of the original features?

May 25, 2010 at 6:41 pmWow, it’s gorgeous! I’m glad you linked up today. However, I did not see a link back to my blog with a mention of the MYHSM meme.
I’d appreciate it if you could do that. It’s just a courtesy link and also so that your readers can see how the other people who linked to the meme are making their homes sing this week!
There is a link to the instructions on my meme post. Thank you and have a great day!
