Brooklyn bathroom

See the incredible before-and-after!

Park Slope homeowners Elinor and Joel were charmed with the details of their 1920s bathroom, like the original tub and tile. Less than charming were the 90-year-old fixtures: the towel bars that fell out of the wall, the showerhead that sprayed water all over the place, the toilet that threatened a flood with every flush. After six years in their co-op they decided it was time for a renovation, not to change the look of their bathroom but to restore it to its former glory.

The Kohler Brockway Sink has a vintage inspired trough look with three gooseneck faucets and space underneath to maximize storage for a set of Serena & Lily Dipped Dyed Stools.
