Modernising any 1950's home has its challenges, like warped hardwood timbers and drywall plaster – but as we unveiled layers of history we respectfully bought it back to life with a functional family friendly bathroom. Built on a substrate (which always makes the plumbing aspect an aerobic balancing act) the toilet and vanity were reconfigured for aesthetic purposes and a bath/shower was installed for future resale. New cornices were installed over 2.7m high tiled walls. The finger tiles offer a gorgeous feature surrounding the new tilt and turn window.
