Congratulations on a beautiful space. I love the details. The door and its hardware are perfect. I think your sink is the jewel of the room. And the red brick wall is a wonderful foil. I really would love to learn more about toilets though... Is a vintage toilet really ecologically unsound? What's the difference? Beautiful job! Congratulations on a beautiful space.

So clean and crisp but not cold. Perfect balance. I really like the window film idea. What about bathrooms with lots of moisture. Is this something you recommend for the bathroom that is used daily for hot showers? I am in love with this bathroom. So clean and crisp but not cold. Perfect balance.

I really like that you trimmed it so that it has that border, I think it makes a big difference, like you said it gives it a more finished look. The frosted window film looks perfect for the space!

I love everything. I'm actually less paranoid about peeping Toms than most people, but I think even I would put something over the window even though nobody could possibly look in. It's just one of those things. What a great bathroom! I love everything.
