How wonderful that you're able to live in a building that your great grandfather built. This bathroom is gorgeous. Love the T-paper pyramid.

This is the BEST bathroom I've ever seen. The colors are amazing and I can't imagine how much thought went into the design and color scheme.

all the awesome color is apparently original... not quite sure what you added in terms of color (which is, after all, the point of this contest) to make it special.

I love the whole architecture of the place. What a great old space! Love it!

This reminds me of our own minty fresh bathroom. Though I can say I'm glad our tub is not lavender.

The architectural details are fun in yours.

This bathroom is unique! I love the colors. I had that bathtub and when I redid my bathroom, I made the mistake of getting rid of it. I regret it now. They don't make them like that anymore!

That sink! I'm soooo jealous!

This is a fabulous space. The color scheme really provides an open, bright feeling that draws you into the room. Wonderful job accenting with black and white rather than trying to add too much noise to the already loud room.

The black and white makes the teal and lavender pop!

Love his color combination!! Cool guy! Love to see this style and architecture still surviving the awful 'renovations' of so many older and unique homes..yea for you!!

How special you are now living here!

What a great color combination! I am very jealous of this bathroom...

WOW! That bathroom is to die for...as they say! And how cool that this is a building that your grandfather built! I would love to see the other bathrooms in the building (and the rest of the apartment building for that matter...). Very cool that it has been preserved.

Very, very special bathroom. Would have loved to see the color palette enhanced via some of the art on the walls, at least. Sometime please post the rest of your apartment--I bet it's phenomenal.

Me likey. Thanks for sharing!!!

Bless you for not tearing this out and replacing it with white subway tile.

Thanks so much for sharing; this was a real treat to see and it's wonderful you have that sense of connection to your home through your great-grandfather. I'm so glad this was never renovated!

I do agree that more could be done to enhance the space through decoration as the current bath mat and art don't do much to complement the design. Pale grey (or even pink) walls and a fluffy grey or lavender rug; plush co-ordinating towels, a shower curtain and some artwork would make this truly swoon worthy.

I'm not sure why people are concerned about the contestant's actually having done her own space. I've seen previous years fraught with entries done by professionals. Sort of the same, isn't it?

Anyway, this place has great bones, and a nice colour scheme. So few older apartments either don't have their original fittings, or the fittings just don't quite cut it. This gets my vote.

The original tile-work is absolutely brilliant. The thing that's really off about this room is the (single) paint color on the walls and window trim. Its not at all consistent with the bathroom color schemes from the 20s--and doesn't do anything to compliment the absolutely brilliant tile-work (which I find absolutely ironic, considering this is a Room for Color contest).

Do some research, bring back the proper wall and wood-trim colors for this room (and it certainly isn't a monotone beigy-white).

This room has - as they say - Great Bones. The tile and architectural details are so lovely.

If I may chime in defense: I am an art school student, and thus at this moment I don't have the time or funds to add more to this room--but I don't disagree that in the future there is a lot that could be done! I entered the contest as a learning experience and as a first attempt at getting my awesomely inherited space some exposure. I hope to make things spectacular enough to have a home tour on this site soon! Thank you for all the support!

Wow! This is awesome. You're lucky to be able to live in such a fantastic location. Soak up all that art and become the artist that you should have always been.

Wonderful, job!

Love that dresser! That's what I want to turn mine into :-D

Simple but elegant and the black and white make the colored tiles pop!
