At last, the fun part of the renovation: decorating.
As always, the bathroom is the focus of my attentions – not least because it presented an opportunity to indulge my fetish for art deco lighting.
Above the bathtub: black porcelain sconces with skyscraper shades from Rejuvenation.com.
Flanking the sink are a pair of period sconces with curved chrome bases from Gallerie Decollect in Port Hope.
Love that streamlined curve!
The period sconces were rewired by a gentleman at Romela Antique Lighting who calls himself “The Lamp Doctor” – so the wiring for these fixtures (unlike some of the other vintage pieces in my collection) is all perfectly safe and modern . I’m not taking any chances with bathroom lighting – water and old wiring don’t mix.
Just found your remodel thru google and I’m in love with your bathroom. Lovely!
May I ask what paint color that is? Such a great shade.
Thanks! The paint is Benjamin Moore Spring Mint.
I also love this bathroom. It looks so completly art deco. Can you please tell me where to buy those tiles, especially the wall tiles? Who is the manufacturer? Sorry for my english, but I’m writing from germany. Regards, Sandra Ue
Hi Sandra,
Glad you like it! The wall tiles came from a store in Toronto called Saltillo. They import their tiles, mainly from Italy I think. If you got in touch with them, they might be able to tell you how to track them down in Europe. Good luck!
Hi again, thanks a lot. The black bordure – is it also from there……? In germany it is so hard to find those materials……
Yes, the black border is from the same place.
thank you!
