Bathroom of the Week: A Romantic London Bath Made from Vintage Parts
“It’s most people’s favorite room in the house,” said Michelle McKenna of the master bathroom in her Georgian London home?including its residents: “Last weekend, it was truly a family room: My two youngest boys were in the bathtub, with my older son entertaining them, and I was in the shower, if you can believe it,” she said.
We can see why; we featured the bathroom in the Remodelista book and it’s been one of our favorites since. It was designed by McKenna and architect Rahesh Ram of Nau Architecture, who said that designing the bathroom “was a wonderfully iterative process. It all came about from the found antiques, and we started to collage the room together from there.”
For McKenna, owner of Space & Grace (a blended color consultancy and bodywork practice), the bathroom started to take shape when she found a botanical, chinoiserie-inspired tile panel for the shower complete with songbirds and butterflies. Let’s take a look. Photography by Matthew Williams for Remodelista.
