Vintage Bathroom

Give a new room instant age. 
A perfectly worn painted table breaks up the sea of white tile and carries on the farmhouse look.

Keep tile classic. 
White subway-style tiles by Daltile pair with octagonal tiles on the floor. The charcoal-colored grout remains true to the period style.

Coordinate your colors. 
Let an antique find inspire your wall color. The pretty pale green walls are painted Spinach White by Sherwin-Williams.

Be a basket case. 
Tuck extra storage into small rooms by using woven baskets. The natural material also adds warm texture to the space.
