Imperfect Ivory
The owner of this New York barn filled her bathroom with distressed pieces including the rusty tub, chipped side table, and worn countertop to make it feel homey.
Minimal Design
The bright walls and sinks in this Indiana farmhouse provide beautiful contrast to the counter, which was fashioned from an upcycled barn door.
Old And New
The sheen of a new sink and marble countertop is beautifully offset by the rustic shiplap walls and ceiling covering this 1902s California cottage. An array of distressed antiques adds interest to the space as well.
Farmhouse Style
Situated on wooden blocks, this white claw-foot tub looks beautiful against the white shiplap walls found in this 100-year-old Texas home.
Illusion of Space
White is wonderful for giving a smaller room the illusion of space, but the owner of this cozy home went even further for stealth storage by securing a ticking stripe skirt to the sink with Velcro. A pair of mirrors also helps the room appear larger.
Softer Tones
The owners of this Wisconsin home wanted to stay true to the mill's original white walls with a shade that wasn't in your face and went with Antique White from Conco. The texture of the tongue-and-groove planks keeps the all-white palette from feeling too crisp or cold.
Rustic Tub Surround
White walls and subway tile look even sharper when paired with reclaimed wood. Here the siding on the tub adds just the right amount of contrast. "We loved this wood on sight because of its chippy, peely look," says Jolie Sikes in her book Junk Gypsy.
Natural Light
A refurbished 1930s claw-foot tub sit in the corner under a window, making it a cozy spot for the owners of this Georgia farmhouse to relax and soak up the sun's rays.
Elegant White
Add a touch of rustic charm to an elegant white bathroom by framing a traditional claw-foot tub with a carved-wood mantel.
Old School
In the master bathroom of this Caifornia ranch, an old hand-painted metal sign pops above a salvaged cast-iron tub. The lab-inspired light is by Schoolhouse Electric, and the sinks are by Porcher.
Light and Bright
A Carrara marble floor pairs with subway-tile walls in the master bath of this California home. The claw-foot tub is by Sunrise Specialty; Rejuvenation makes the light fixture, wrapped in wire mesh.
Natural Elements
In this California home, the master bathroom's sink console incorporates salvaged painted wood and concrete.
Modern Mimimalism
In this Massachusetts cabin, the owners relied on Green Demolition for the guest bathroom's cabinets, as well as its Corian countertops. The walls are clad in pine planks, which one of the owners pickled himself, conjuring a color that evokes the innards of a tender sapling. The striped-cotton Turkish towels are by Scents and Feel.
Eclectic Artwork
The owner of this Georgia loft installed a salvaged clawfoot tub in the bathroom and painted it in Smoke & Mirrors by Benjamin Moore. She regularly swaps out the photos and drawings, though the 1913 dress form always sticks around.
Vintage Mirrors
In the bathroom of this Arizona home, the claw-foot tub, by Aquatic, basks in the reflection of a wall's worth of vintage beveled mirrors.
Clean Lines
The master bath in this upstate New York home retains many of its century-old fixtures, including the tub, sink, and medicine cabinet. A pedestal shelf creates space for toiletries.
Old World Charm
For the master bathroom of this California home, the owner combined a new tub by Waterworks with an antique table and milking stool. The floor is covered in terra-cotta tiles.
Bright Idea: With the addition of custom-cut mirrors, a cast-off window frame becomes an impressive full-length looking glass.
Traditional Accents
An ornate Eastlake plant stand pops against the bathroom's spare Rejuvenation tub and white subway tiles in this Oregon house.
Refined Rustic
In this Northern California house, the bathroom's fir sink support, handmade by the owner, holds an Olympia basin. The chandelier, hanging above the vintage claw-foot tub, was scored on eBay. The walls are painted Kelly-Moore's White.
Bold Accent Pieces
In this New York home, a zebra-print ottoman from Ballard Designs sidles up to Randolph Morris's cast-iron tub in the master bath, outfitted with white china sinks from overstock.com. The Restoration Hardware mirrors slide open, barn door-style, to reveal a recessed medicine chest.
Bright Idea: To save big on the right lamp, hit the "wrong" department. This outdoor fixture cost just $40 at Lowe's!
