Edward Scrapbook
Edward Street was a century home where the customers wanted to keep the original feel of the bathroom and decided to go with a 1920s themed design. This incorporated subway tile, 1-inch hex floor tile, a restored roll-top tub (claw foot), retro toilet and industrial-chic sink. Of course, some modern day amenities were also added, including a heated floor.
Some of the challenges were based on what is typical after a house has been standing for a hundred years: nothing is left plumb or level. In this Edward Street home, the walls were 3-inches out of plumb from ceiling to floor. Subway tile would’ve highlighted this problem so we added new framing members to hang the drywall.

To ensure walls were plumb, all existing framing members were sistered with new 2x4s

You can see a cavity on the right – which would end up being a custom-built open shelf.
