Some finishing touches happened this week on one of the earliest projects I took on here, the downstairs bathroom renovation. Long planned, Mally Skok‘s gorgeous and utterly perfect fabric Nichola in Aqua/Sand on Canvas went up as a Roman shade on the window. I have long adored this fabric and in this space it reads like bits of coral and sea life.
There’s not really anything left to do in this space – finishing touches aside. I still can’t quite figure out where to put or hang the toilet paper.
The brass has all been patinating very well. I could not be more pleased with having chosen unlacquered brass and the exposed shower workings shine like jewelry through the glass doors.
The sink faucet is also looking great, although as I showed in my last post, the sink bowl not so much. I’ve been reading up on reglazing and porcelain home repair kits but I am still really unsure of what to do about this.
There is still a bit of room for finds – and certainly more sand dollars and shells – on the display shelves. With my iphone there was no way to get the upper ledge of kashigata in the photo, but the patterns in them look wonderful with Mally’s fabric.
I do have one little marriage to make, between this Japanese print and vintage frame, and then its simply a matter of placement.
I think we can call this one finished, don’t you?

Its all looking great Jacqueline, love the shelving area. Regarding the toilet rolls, I always use small baskets, I hate things hanging on the wall, I’m sure that you must have lots of baskets! One question, are those mother of pearl buttons on the shelf in the fabric lined box?
Looks beautiful all the way around!
Beautiful, as always Jacqueline! The subway tiles and the fixtures in the shower look fantastic. Love your style.
Fab! I will help with the sand dollar search. Perhaps this winter I will have some luck for you! I am also a fan of the toilet paper basket holder. One of ours is a ceramic basket. Perhaps one made of glass might interest you or a large clam shell….
leaving the sink as was – a great touch of Sabi !
It’s looking great. Really love the brass fixtures.
The ogee mirror is perfect for the space. I just picked one up this week for our hallway.
How would you suggest that I determine prices on machiko pottery that I purchased in Japan about 40 years ago? I have two different patterns which I have never used. I am going to scale down and relocate early next year. Thank you for any information or suggestions. Rosanne
