Bathroom Inspiration
We're down to the wire on making decisions about the upstairs bathrooms in The Building. This has been a tricky process, because when we look around for design inspiration, there are millions of trillions of beautiful bathrooms to behold…but so many of them aren't compatible with the "classic old building" look. I don't know what has taken over me, but the more time that passes, the more fiercely protective I'm feeling about making sure we honor the look and feel of the original building and don't turn it into a modern, contemporary loft space.
The tricky part is, there aren't a lot of reference photos that show what bathrooms looked like long ago.
I love this bathroom from Australasia Restaurant in
Australia The UK. It's white and clean and beautifully organized, and I love the pattern of the subway tile on the wall. I also love the black fixtures against the white. I would probably swap the black and white wall hanging for some crazy colorful photo or collage.
But is this too contemporary?
And how do you keep the bathroom from looking too stark? Too white?
This is one way I've found: Wood vanities. I saw this photo and fell in love with the farmhouse-style vanity. It warms up all the white and keeps the bathroom from looking too sterile. And I love the white sink that rests above the surface of the table.
The tricky thing would be sealing the wood top in such a way that it would be resistant to water.
I also love this, because the basin-style sink hearkens back to a time when people…really did use basins! Our space has room for a table with two sinks or two separate tables…and that's another decision we've been trying to make. I love that this (as well as the table in the previous photo) looks like a piece of furniture, and not a bathroom vanity.
Here's another good one. I'm sort of digging the basin sink idea, although I'm sure there are downsides I'm not thinking about.
I have to say, though, that I prefer turned legs to straight or square. I need a little flair in my life.
Maybe the girls' bathroom could have turned legs and the boys' could have square?
Is that gender stereotyping? Curvy legs vs. solid legs?
This is the floor tile we've narrowed it down to.
It looks like this from a distance. I like it because it's old and classic, and it isn't formal as a large marble tile would be. We could do a black border around the edge of the room if we wanted to, but I thought this would be a nice canvas.
For the walls, I'm always drawn to bathroom photos that have black beaded board wainscoting and matching black doors. I love it.
Here's the problem, though: We need to consider these public restrooms, even though they're upstairs in our office. When we open up the other side of the upstairs at a later time for events, these will be the bathrooms that serve the upstairs. So from a maintenance and cleaning perspective, tile walls/wainscoting is much smarter and much more durable.
I can't think of any tile that would be more appropriate for the walls than regular white subway tile, probably laid in a traditional brick pattern.
Though I do like this pattern! But is it too contemporary for The Building?
And finally, the question I've been leading up to: For the wall tile, if we go with the subway, we can get it in either glossy (as you usually see it) or matte. For those of you in the know, which would you recommend? The glossy would be prettier and shinier…but would it take away from the old, classic look of the bathrooms? The floors, obviously, are not glossy. Not that that necessarily matters.
Or was this kind of tile always shiny and I'm just overthinking it?
This was a total stream-of-consciousness bathroom post. Feel free to weigh in on any of the above! Because remember: I have no idea what I'm doing.

P.S. I wonder what I thought about in my spare time before we started this project.
Most likely food.

Matte finish…I love the old look!!
Leslie H On Tuesday, March 4 at 1:40 pm
I think glossy. I think tha'ts the way its always been. I think the matte is newer.
Tammy Holt On Tuesday, March 4 at 1:42 pm
Love the first picture and think it is perfect for your building. The time period is perfect and looks like all the older bathrooms I remember as a child in downtown Tulsa, as well as the older schools, yet it looks clean and new. I don't think it's too contemporary for your building, at all. Seems like any wood cabinetry would suffer from use in no time in a public restroom. Love the subway tiles and especially the glossy finish. You're moving perfectly in the right direction and love what you are considering!! Will be coming to check it out when it's finished!
Kel On Tuesday, March 4 at 1:44 pm
It's all gorgeous! Before picking the sink and faucet, see if you can try them out somewhere as some of these basin – tall faucet compbos are notoriousl
y splashy. Makes the walls looks gunky.
SUE On Tuesday, March 4 at 1:48 pm
I have basin sinks in my house in the master bath. They are not the right shape for lots of water retention. If these will be used as public bathrooms later, these wouldn't be very practical and they chip and crack is someone drops a lipstick or something on them. There are lots of early sink replicas out there, and some are not very expensive. They should be deep. Less chance for run over if some "accidentally" leaves a paper towel in one.
The wood vanities are wonderful in public spaces. I love the look of your favorite. They can be refinished over and over and you can finish them with marine grade varnish, (like they use on boats) and you shouldn't have to do much to them for a long time.
You might want to use brushed copper or something for the faucets to soften the overall white affect from the subway tile and old tile flooring look. Wood trim around the mirror areas in a soft brown/soft brown grey color would also soften up the look from all the white. What about storage for the things you will need in there everyday?
How about early maps on the walls either in picture form or wallpaper of OK for interest. So many cool historical signs are available now a days.
Thanks for letting me put in my two cents worth.
Love your blog and the fact you share so readily with us..
You are doing a great job with everything we can see. Keep up the process of making excellent choices with the building.
B. Swinney On Tuesday, March 4 at 1:48 pm
have you looked at black & white basket weave patterned tile for the floor?
jay On Tuesday, March 4 at 1:51 pm
Gloss wall tiles would be more inline with the period and the honeycomb floor tiles are right on – with a double black border with squares in the corners. Have you considered a white marble with a grey vein for under the vessle sinks? Something like this -> http://glamourbeginsathome.blogspot.ca/2013/10/cardinal-house-distraction-of-shopping.html because that's what I remember form my early childhood when visiting "old" biffies! And the stall doors were slatted like lovers.
Janice in EP On Tuesday, March 4 at 1:53 pm
I feel alone on an island, but I'm not a fan of vessel sinks, I always end up getting my sleeves wet trying to put my hands down in the bowl and the splash back is another issue. Cleaning them is no easy task either, as well as little kids have a hard time with them too.
I like the sink in the "This Old House" photo, you were only showcasing the tile but that sink is good as well. Kinda like school sinks back in the day.
I agree that a wood vanity is cool, but might end up looking shabby over time with wear and tear.
Heidi Wid On Tuesday, March 4 at 1:54 pm
I personally love the basin sinks. If the bathrooms upstairs are mainly going to be used by you and only once in awhile to the public when you open up the upstairs for something special, I think they would be doable to take care of. The wood vanity with the curved legs is what I like the best. Yes, it would be a concern with the splashing of water, but maybe there would be someway to protect or varnish it without making it shiny so as to not take away from the period you are trying to sustain. Without having done any research on the era of flooring and tiled walls I can't offer much advice on the accuracy of the time table, but I think the way you are leaning would be beautiful. I can't wait to see this beautiful structure once again brought to life. I told my husband when it's done there is no doubt where we're heading!! Good luck finalizing your choices!!
Bri On Tuesday, March 4 at 1:55 pm
Something to consider with basin sinks with fixtures place high above. Water splashed ALL over and the countertops and mirrors will be a mess. It looks great, but from a practical standpoint, a mess. I always think about that when I use a really cool basin sink at someone's house. Water goes everywhere. Don't place the fixture too high above it if you do go with basin sinks. Just something to consider….
Lerissa On Tuesday, March 4 at 1:55 pm
I Love the photo at the beginning (and end) of the post…gorgeous. To help balance all that white, you could do black doors or trim around the mirrors?
Terri On Tuesday, March 4 at 1:57 pm
I like the matt look of tiles better myself but gloss would be easier to clean. There was a lovely Real Simple cover a couple of years ago that had a very pale yellow subway tile that I fell in love with. I do like the herringbone pattern but it is a busier pattern and the floor tile is pretty busy itself (your picture has huge tiles but you won't have that in your bathroom). I really like the look of some of the bathrooms in the Nick's Cove houses (you can find them on google) and they often use beadboard wainscotting.
Janean On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:01 pm
I have loved seeing this old building's restoration!
Wood and white do go beautifully together…you wouldn't be sorry. One solution for the vanity top so that you don't have water damage is to put the 'looks like wood' vinyl flooring planks on the vanity top. Home Depot has a good quality line of these snap together planks. It is indestructable and it looks authentic and not cheesy.
Kara On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:03 pm
I have seen beadboard tile before. It comes in 18″x12″ planks, approximately. You could use that instead of wood beadboard and then you'd have the look of the wood pattern, but with the cleanliness of tile. I like shiny subway tile. I also like crackled subway tile if there isn't too much of it. Fun!
Janet P. On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:05 pm
No one else hates basin sinks? I notice they are not featured much at all now. I think they will "date the bathroom" as in 2010.
Mary Cooper On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:06 pm
As an awful "cleaner", I guess it would make sense that I think matte would be great. I actually think matte would be great because it WOULD match the floor and I like match. So, my vote is matte match. Cleaning aside.
shaantio On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:10 pm
The library in Eureka Springs, AR has the best old bathroom.
1. dark bead-board walls (although I completely understand your need for tile)
2. sink had 2 faucets: one ran hot, the other ran cold
3. push-button light switch
And, consider: toilet where the tank is above with a pull-chain. There wasn't one in the library, but there was in another cool old house my mom cleaned when I was little.
Marci C On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:11 pm
I say glossy. It reminds me a lot of what's in the Henry Ford Estate. So it gives me that period feel, which is what I believe you're looking for.
CBarnes On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:11 pm
LOVE LOVE the look of the old dressers with a vessel on top…don't know how it would hold up in a public restroom but maybe your own personal private
Love the small tiles on the floor…..
I scour HOUZZ for kitchen and bathroom remodels and have tons of pics on my phone lol
Carolyn On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:11 pm
I would go gloss… without a doubt.
Cheryl On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:12 pm
I love the floor and the subway tile. A wooden carved sink vanity with carved legs with nice ornate with basin sinks are perfect. Big wooden framed mirrors that match the sink vanity wood and wooden bathroom doors will offset all the white.
Kerry On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:12 pm
I think the glossy tiles would look best, and be sure to use dark grout. It looks period and won't ever look dirty like white would. The basin sinks might keep more water from splashing onto the wood than the sinks that are more flush with the surface would.
Cynthia On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:13 pm
I am now seeing tile that looks like wood floors. My dentist office has it on the floors and I think it looks great. Not as good as wood . . .but great for an office. Wonder if you could use that on the counters under the vessel sinks? I realize that it's not wood, but maybe an alternative to real wood? I don't know . . . . also as I'm a Mom and not a building inspector does anything have to be up to code?
JB On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:14 pm
Love all the pictures of bathrooms…..I'd be hard pressed to pick one. But, if you are looking to keep it in the "period" the building was built in Oklahoma, it would be a 2-holer out back!!!!
Chummy_Chum On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:14 pm
Basin sinks are great and very decorative. They're just not short people friendly. I find myself tiptoeing over them every time. I'm sure counter/table height plays a big role. Just a thought!
Paula V On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:14 pm
Here is a website that i bumped into and searched for 1910 vintage bathroom pics http://www.houzz.com/photos/bathroom/1910-cottage-/p/8 I like the basins on curvy wood stands or beaded board vanities (make it a double,) i like the floor tile alot, maybe a light stained beaded board half wall with a chair rail around and some vintage wallpaper for the top part of the wall. You could place a glass or lucite top on the wooden stands to prevent water stains from the basins. Gotta have a vintage wood mirror over the basins. Maybe a wicker settee or chair if there is room.
Jeth On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:16 pm
Our first house was built in the late 20's early 30's. It had white subway tile, glossy, in the kitchen. The tile was your traditional brick format. About two rows from the top, there was a 1/2″ high black row. Then the top was capped with black subway tile that had a radius top edge. I think this is the period your building was from so glossy tile is appropriate as is black and white.
Now, in reference to your vanities, I work for a custom cabinet manufacturer in PA. If you find a number of those tables/desks that you like that are antique, you could do granite or marble top instead of a wood top – just replace the wood top with the granite or marble or even soapstone which is gorgeous and close to black. You would still have the wood front and the beautiful turned legs. The trick will be finding the beautiful half vessel half recessed sink in your picture. If you take your picture to a larger plumbing firm, surely a good designer would recognize it – if someone hasn't already in your posts. The wood top isn't practical for a public bathroom because the water would have to be wiped up immediately and you cannot count on the public to do that for you. Your top would eventually get ruined no mater how much varnish you put on it. This is why I recommended putting a stone top on it.
Your building owes you a hug!!
Jay On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:17 pm
Another thought: When we built an industrial building I insisted the bathroom stall doors opened out. Usually it's a tight squeeze when the doors open into the stall. The contractor didn't want to do it, but I insisted and have never regretted it.
You can seal wood so the water won't harm it. For public spaces I'd go with clean and easy to keep that way and a few items to tie in the old building theme (lights, mirrors, etc.)
Suzie Smith On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:22 pm
If you seal your wood tops with marine varnish you should have few worries about standing water. After all, boats are in the water a lot! And, the wooden vanities are so beautiful!
Thia On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:23 pm
Honestly, I'm not wading through the other comments to see if this has been suggested, but I'd think you'd be able to find a granite or something that could replicate a wood pattern, so you could have a wood body, but a better water surface on top. What about cement? Can they do a top with that? I've seen some lovely cement floors done, why not a counter? You definitely need something to break all that white up.
Heather Miller On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:24 pm
I love that original picture with the subway tile on the walls and the hanging fixtures over the sinks. That style looks original and not too white. I have white subway tiles in my kitchen and opted for a shinier finish. The light reflects off of them and keeps them from looking antiseptic. I am not a fan of the penny round tiles on the floor because, while they are very authentic, they will become so dirty and look dingy in a hurry. I would opt for something darker. Great project! I wish you well on your venture.
Sandy On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:25 pm
For cleaning I would go with the matte. I like the first picture and don't think it's too contemporary at all. Using a lot of black any where water/soap can splash might be a continuous nightmare to keep clean. I've used the sink bowls and noticed how the water will splash on all the surfaces that are close. If you have kids washing hands; you might want to have an anchor close by, just in case. haha
Karen in Ga On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:26 pm
Shelley On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:26 pm
Love the flooring you picked. The white gloss subway tile is great. I think the sinks should be basin or pedestal so would be easier to keep clean in a public area. This Old House and Rehab Addict are great sources of information too. They do a great job of keeping things traditional.
Jan S On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:30 pm
I think the look of the Australian bathroom is where you should be headed. Agree with the other comments — shiny tiles, dark bronze fixtures, round basis, no to the wood wainscoting and the wood in the tables (unless you can find a way to REALLY seal that wood). Definitely a stool for the little ones.
jimikay On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:33 pm
Gloss for the tiles. Also, LOVE the bathroom in the top photo. If you wanted to make it not so white, you could do a black/dark grey grout for the tiles. Might make it look older also.
Laura in San Diego On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:36 pm
I LOVe the wooden vanities..maybe with white marble tops to keep it looking timeless?
I like the glossy subway tile in the basic pattern for the walls..then it will never look dated.
And I love the honeycomb floors!
Jen K. On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:39 pm
Just wanted to chime in about the wood vanities. We have them in our home (they were there new when we bought our condo). No matter how careful we are to clean up any stray water drops, within a year I could see water marks. Now we're just about in our 4th year here and already thinking about sanding down and refinishing one of the vanities. If its this hard to keep them nice in a home with only two people, they're going to be very difficult to keep nice in a semi-public restroom. Hard reality to bear being they are so beautiful!
Jennifer (a.k.a PyroCrashtic) On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:40 pm
As much as I love love love old wood, I'd worry about being able to get a public bathroom with wood clean and being able to keep it from becoming water damaged. I'd lean towards tile all the way (mostly because of the horror stories my students tell me of their cleaning of public bathrooms – I may never leave my home). Glossy would show water stains (if that worries you) more than matte would – after that I got nothing. All the above bathrooms look beautiful.
MommyChicken On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:41 pm
Hi Ree, I love to daydream about all the remodels I need to do in MyOldHouse….. for a public bathroom, I like the subway tile look, shiny is easier to keep clean, all the grout sealed, the sinks would be easier to keep clean I think if they were something like a matte finish tin that wouldn't of course chip or break and would soften any possible glare from the lights, there are energy saving 'natural ' lights out there. If the second floor is open to the public your architect needs to get the elevator in soon… and as others have mentioned bathrooms have to be ADA compliant ( but still pretty too ) Love the work so far!!!
Celeste On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:42 pm
I've seen a lot of old wash basins on wood furniture with marble tops.
Glossy wall tile goes very well with floor tile that isn't glozed.
Tonya H On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:43 pm
There is a public restroom at a shop down the street where I live that has the wooden counter tops with the raised sinks and while it looks nice, as you mentioned in your post, the stain on the wood didn't last and now it looks pretty bad. That is my only advice. I love the first photo of the white bathroom. I don't think it's too contemporary either!
May On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:45 pm
Love the wooden vanities. What I really want for my bathroom is the radiator type towel racks that warm your room and your towels at the same time!
Jessica Turner On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:46 pm
Matte would be beautiful, and steer the look away from being "too contemporary'. Awesome choices.
Hansengirl On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:47 pm
I'm with Abby J. on this one. (1) glossy tile, it'll be a gorgeous contrast to the wood basin surround you're contemplating, And glossy is the way those tiles were, back in the day. (2) go with the herringbone pattern. It's a bit of twist to the brick-layed pattern, but not enough the detract from the aged, rooted-in-the-past-of-the-building effect overall.
Beautifully thought out, Ree. By the way, I'm off to make some of your yeast cinammon rolls with maple glaze for my beloved. He adores you…through me
Jerilyn On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:48 pm
I am a practical person. Don't just think about the look, think about how the space will be cleaned. Do the soap dispensers drip on the counter? While I love the look of basins on top of the counters, how do you handle the water that splashes out of the basin onto the counter and then to the floor? We joke that the original designers of our office bathrooms never cleaned one. The sink counters were recently remodeled (along with the new accessible toilet stalls.) Of course it is more modern, but the type of materials could be more period in style. The office bathrooms are now more practical. The sinks are recessed and the soap dispenser spout is over the sink (mostly) and there is a lip on the counter to trap stray water. The coolest part is that the faucet, soap and towel dispensers are all have sensors, so no touching anything.
diana On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:50 pm
I think the subway tiles have always been glossy. I would go glossy.
The basin sinks look lovely on the wooden tables. But I think you will have a problem with standing water around the basins on the wood, especially in public washrooms and especially in the boys' bathroom.
Anita On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:51 pm
I love the wooden vanity but definitely make the top something sturdier and easier to sanitize. I also would avoid the basins, they are easier to chip and sometime too tall. On the Australian picture I love the actual doors on the stalls. It makes it feel less like cold, loud public stalls, a very nice change. I would also stick with glossy tiles since they would be easier to clean and in a pattern to add a classy spunk.
glenda in Michigan On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:53 pm
Honoring our heritage is important. Howeverr, keep in mind that commerical uses of bathrooms do require a practical, sturdy application. I learned this from experience and found that anything too old or impractical quickly required repairs and eventually replacement with sturdier commercial fixtures. Sorry, because I know how wonderful "furniture and basin" looks can be. Commercial bathrooms really take hard use like you can never imagine, until it is used for a year or two! Just notice how quickly restaurant and department store bathrooms look used and shabby in no time, requiring constant updating and redecorating.
dksbook On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:53 pm
I would keep the white:dark wood ratio about 2:1, unless you are going to have windows. I'd continue the old signage vibe, and I'd stay away from over-feminizing the look with fake or real flowers, etc. The only thing too "contemporary" about the first photo is the basins. I'd go for more an inset soapstone look. I like the lamps, but maybe you should use the same lamps you use in the rest of the bldg. for continuity?
SandraG On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:53 pm
Since this will be public, cleaning should be #1 consideration. Love the hex floor tile, so classic. Shiny subway tile looks clean. If you have any pull, try the DIY network Matt Muenster. He has the show "Bath Crashers." He has done 100's of bathrooms. Maybe get a show out of it. That would be cool. As usual, whatever you do, will be perfect, because it's what YOU want.
Shannon P. On Tuesday, March 4 at 2:54 pm
I see nothing wrong with putting the Australasia Rest. Bathroom in your building. I think the bathroom doors in Australasia look vintage and using subway tiles is a vintage look to me. Also I like your idea of a color photo in the bathroom maybe of one of your horses.
I would be concerned about using a wooden vanity in a public restroom and the maintenance of it. I am not a designer. Just my opinion:)
kim On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:00 pm
All beautiful BUT as a business owner you have to take into account keeping it clean, ease of cleaning and customer wear and tear. Basin sinks are beautiful but a pain to keep clean especially with heavy use
elizabeth lev On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:01 pm
If you're worried about the wood, put a marble slab on the table then put the basins on top of that. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this process. And your sense of humor…love you to pieces you are (at times) the highlight of my work morning. No, seriously. Thanks!e
Kim in Victoria On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:01 pm
Definitely, subway tiles in the traditional brick pattern, this is tried and true and no matter what you wont look back in 10 years and go what was I thinking. As for the basin sinks, all I can say is cleaning is not fun especially in a commercial space. the area where the sink meets the counter is a cleaning nightmare… Have you thought about a sink that runs the whole length of the counter? I like this rustic look as it reminds me of the water troughs and the old washing stands. You can add a bit of a modern touch with the right fixtures.
Also, an often forgotten or over looked item in the ladies bathrooms is coat hooks and shelves for purses that aren't in the stalls. We had them installed at our office and it is heaven. No more holding your purse between your knees while washing your hands because the counter is wet and who wants to put their purse on the bathroom floor…
Donna J. On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:02 pm
Old renovated building needs the Simple lines of the subway tile and then the wood cabinet, with turned legs and basin sinks. Blends well with the history of the building, but still brings in cleanliness of the white tiles, chrome fixtures and the wood. Lovely.
carolyn On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:02 pm
I love the first one it has it all the sentimental feeling yet its luxurious and chic
Wendy On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:02 pm
I personally love the floor tile but maybe that's because my husband and I just installed it in the floor of our new shower last week. I replaced come of the white squares with blue glass. I love the white subway too. The rest of that shower involves white subway tiles with 2 bands of blue glass to go with them. We live in an 1870-ish former one room schoolhouse. i really thought those tiles from American Olean were a nice nod to the age of the house.
Alicia On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:03 pm
I totally love everything about the all white Australian bathroom but agree that the basin sinks could be a nightmare to keep clean and damage free in a public space.
cheryl On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:03 pm
I really like the two basin sink idea but the mirrors should be the old oval framed ones to keep actual to the era <3
Tracy On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:03 pm
I love the monochromatic look of the white bathroom. You could change it up a bit by going with a khaki solid surface counter, and then use the white basin sinks. Accents of black, or red would look pretty as well. I would stay away from anything wood in a commercial setting, as it will be continually wet, and pose issues with the finish, and wood itself. To add charm, you could do a bank of drawers, with a lamp and at the end of the room with the eclectic artwork hanging over it.
Misty On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:03 pm
Go to log cabin or cabin bathrooms.. Look at those b4 u make a decision.. I think the one u have a very pretty but look to " new" I think u need more rustic look..
Connie R. On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:03 pm
I, too, am in love with the wood vanities with the vessel sinks. We actually once remade a dresser into a vanity and had a potter make us a vessel…it was so nice when done. I like white bathrooms, you can get your color from accessories if you need to. I liked the look of the white room with black hardware. I think that black walls would be dust magnets.
Edwina On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:04 pm
I like the first photo and then use barn wood or reclaimed wood for the stall doors or the end wall. Use old metal signs having to do with soap or related products.
Candace On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:04 pm
I love the glossy subway tile in a pattern. Keep in mind anything you put in this bathroom will be used and cared for by people outside your immediate family. For that reason, I would attempt to select materials that are easy to maintain without too much effiort. For that reason, I would vote no on wood counter tops.
Jenna a On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:05 pm
Have you seen the old school singer sewing machine as a sink base (usually with a vessel sink)? Love that it's repurposing something old and pairing with something more modern.
tess W. On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:05 pm
By far the first pic from Australia is perfect, fits with the era, practical for maintenance and upkeep..
Carol Mechuta On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:05 pm
What about a soapstone sink trough with multiple pump faucets. I have a pump faucet and everyone raves about it. Would look very vintage and easy to clean. The soapstone is heavy so must have a heavy duty base to sit on. Soapstone is supposed to last forever and just needs an oiling every so often.
Peggy On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:05 pm
The Australasian white subway tile design looks really great. No basins, though! They are likely to get chipped. Not only that, sometimes they are set into tables that are too high so using them becomes awkward.
Sharon B. On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:06 pm
i'm liking the wood or the black
Christina On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:06 pm
Hi Ree!! I definitely think the first picture looks too modern and feels a little too "sterile" with all the white. The wooden vanities with basins are definitely more warm, inviting, and PW feelin'. Those in combo with the tile you've picked will be lovely! Can't wait to come visit the deli!!!! <3
Betty On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:06 pm
All are beautiful but those bowl type fixtures will be harder to keep clean with lots of traffic.
Shelly On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:06 pm
I like the wood. It softens the room and makes it less sterile. Couldn't you seal any wood with a marine sealant? I think I have seen this done on HGTV(Property Brothers, I think) for a wood floor in a bathroom. I don't know why you couldn't use the same thing for the wainscoting or vanities.
Laurie F On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:07 pm
I love the first multi-vessel sink photo. I do not think it too contemporary but I do think the fixtures are "bronze" and not "black". The best advice would be to keep it simple to use and clean – these are, as you say, public bathrooms. You would probably chose something completely different if in a home. Think of how it will look after thousands of uses and 5 years from now. Will you still love it? Simple, clean design is always the most timeless.
Susan J. On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:07 pm
Love the bathroom where the pipes and faucets are exposed. The problem would be – no matter how much you want to consider the historic nature of the building – people want modern amenities. Faucets that you don't have to "touch" all that much. Good luck – you did a great job with the Lodge – this will be great, too. (I love hyphens.)
just jill On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:07 pm
the subway tile design in this green 1940s bathroon is nice…
Leah G. On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:07 pm
Gotta be glossy! I love the look of the wood vanities, but I worry about standing water ruining it. Keep in mind, just about every public restroom I have been in has had standing water on the countertop/sink top. You need something that will be able to withstand being constantly wet. After all, people can be rude and gross.
Connie On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:08 pm
Wouldn't using poly over the wood seal it?
Terri Hammerbeck On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:08 pm
I also love the Australian restaurant bathroom. Break up the white with a pale green or wooden counter top and the floor could also be done in the wood look tile. I agree on a colorful art piece. I would look for period piece posters. Love that you like to ask us our thoughts on YOUR project!
Melanie Green On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:08 pm
Keep in mind maintenance as well as style when choosing out everything! Black is going to show water spots (from those who are messy at the sink!) and dust even though I agree..it is a nice look! Just something else to be mindful of!!
Alyse in TX On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:09 pm
I love the 'farmhouse' style vanity in second picture. We did that in one of our bathrooms and used an antique buffet for the vanity. I had a piece of marble cut to place on top of vanity to protect the wood from water. This was in previous home we owned…wish I had done that in place we remodeled a couple of years ago vs having carpenter custom build the cabinets. Nothing replaces the real thing.
Vicki Dawn On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:09 pm
A couple of years ago I have the opportunity to attend a client appreciation day picnic at Woolaroc. It was held at the pavillion at Clyde Lake. We were able to walk around the lake to the old bathhouse. It was amazing and looked like the photo of the Australian Restuarant. All white tile and white porcelain. Same era I am thinking.
Becky McCormick On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:09 pm
Tile is easiest to clean, as are straight legs on the vanities. Vessel sinks are lovely, but every one I've ever seen leaves a mess around it…the water leaks all over the surrounding vanity. Super hard to clean…not only the surrounding vanity but you have the outside as well as the inside of the sink to clean…double the work! I'd go for the easiest possible construction for cleaning and do the decorating with wall hangings that are also easy to clean. In a public restroom, the cleaning becomes the number one priority, next to having it well stocked with necessities!
Ilana On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:09 pm
I love the Australian bathroom, too. It feels old-timey to me. Looking through some of the other comments, I like the mosaic floor patterns on the 1900s Bathroom pinterest board. My vote is for glossy subway tile.
Carol On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:09 pm
Love the floor and herringbone pattern walls, but am wondering if it would look very busy together. Thinking the wainscoting part way up the wall would break up the busyness. I like the black fixtures. Love the wood doors and stall dividers again with the black fixtures. Shiny tile would reflect light and be easy to clean. Lighting will help with starkness of white. Using a soft white lighting with the dark hanging fixtures as shone in the Australian bathroom brings the light down where needed instead of from the high ceiling. Very simple yet elegant. Can be spruced up with flowers, pictures to add color.
I love the fact you are wanting to restore this building to its original glory. Too many of these beauties are being torn down.
just jill On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:10 pm
sink in the attached link….
Diana On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:10 pm
The Farmhouse style with the subway tile would be gorgeous. Just the right mirrors – maybe the oval tilting kind. Or framed. What fun you will have!
dan's wife On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:10 pm
I've seen great-looking milk-glass tile on the walls in some local historical buildings, kitchens primarily, obviously chosen for ease-of-cleaning, but looks great as well.
I also like corrugated-metal walls, especially if repurposed, or made to look so.
LINDA SHAW On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:10 pm
You should consult with Nichole Curtis of Rhab Addict. She specializes in restoring period homes and is always so concious about being true to the buildings original look. She is smart and so vivacious! I dont know her personally but I watch her show on the DIY network.
I am sure anything you choose will be beautiful. Good luck!
Linda Shaw
Susan On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:10 pm
I think you are right to consider it will be a public space and cleaning will be a factor. I think the subway tiles would be great. I love the little hexagon floor tiles also. Loved the sink with the shiny metal legs.
Pat On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:10 pm
Glossy all the way — easier to clean and looks cleaner. Matte will have a dull look.
Linda On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:11 pm
Since you seem to like the wood vanities, why couldn't they be topped with tile, cambria or silestone or some similar hard surface material, then there would be less issue of moisture on wood.
Otherwise, go with whatever you will want to look at for years to come = what makes you feel good and brightens your day.
Lynn Peloquin On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:11 pm
I love the look of the old locker basin sinks. (I am from South Dakota & the locker rooms had 6′ basin sinks, the same material that the bath tubs were made of.). They look great, easy to install, & easy to clean.
Lora S. On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:11 pm
I would do the White subway tole with a dark grout. Go porcelain sinks with legs. Love the pendant lights and hanging mirrors. I wouldn't do the wood.
Erin Stovall On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:11 pm
I love, love, LOVE the subway tile…and I think the pattern is awesome…even with the wooden tables. You can very much honor the age of the building and the history while incorporating the modern edges as well. After all, the present will become the past, and this beautiful building is coming back to life with new energy. I say go for the pattern !
Lesa On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:12 pm
First remember that when you open up the event side you will then have to have the upstairs AdA compliant and the bathroom will need to be also. So with that said I think glossy is the way to go. I agree with some other post fall in love with it. Good luck.
Tammy On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:12 pm
I love the flossy white subway tile, it will look fresh and clean. However, I am really partial to square legs on the tables for the vanity, "Go mission style", love the clean look and easy to clean aspect of the straight leg. I hate to clean turned-leg furniture.
Sue B On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:12 pm
Matte subway tile in the first pattern. Not too contemporary
Turned legs, definitely
Basin sinks
Love the fixtures on the first sink
AND…I love the crackly dark wood frame on that mirror as well.
Love your choice of floor tile.
Thanks for letting me put my 2 cents in!
Gidget On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:12 pm
I love the black wainscoting with a white subway tile backsplash! I think it'd look beautiful with the floor. Perhaps with pedestal sinks and a rustic wood cabinet for supplies. I say ask Nicole Curtis the Rehab Addict!!
Annette On Tuesday, March 4 at 3:13 pm
Love the first picture and NO it's not too contemporary. If you feel it's too much white, then I would put up the black bead board halfway up from the floor and yes, glossy is best.

Disaster Relief Organizations
Natural disasters, as well as some human-caused disasters, lead to human suffering and create needs that the victims cannot alleviate without assistance. Examples of disasters include hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, drought, blizzards, famine, war, fire, volcanic eruption, a building collapse, or a transportation wreck. When any such disaster strikes, a variety of international organizations offer relief to the affected country. Each organization has different objectives, expertise, and resources to offer, and several hundred may become involved in a single major disaster. International disaster relief on such a large scale must be properly coordinated to avoid further chaos and confusion both during and after the disaster.
In the event of a disaster, the government of the affected country must conduct a needs assessment to determine what emergency supplies and personnel are required. These needs should be communicated to those relief organizations that will potentially provide assistance. The process of requesting and receiving supplies is lengthy and includes many events that could delay the arrival of assistance. Requests for assistance must first be reviewed and approved by relief organizations, and then supplies and personnel must be collected and transported to the disaster site. Effective management of relief assistance depends on anticipating and identifying problems, and on delivering specific supplies and personnel at the times and places they are needed.
Health Risks
Disasters often pose significant health threats. One of the most serious concerns after a disaster, especially a natural disaster, is sanitation. Disruptions in water supplies and sewage systems can pose serious health risks to victims because they decrease the amount and quality of available drinking water and create difficulties in waste disposal. Drinking water can be contaminated by breaks in sewage lines or the presence of animal cadavers in water sources. These factors can facilitate the spread of disease after a disaster. Providing potable drinking water to victims and adopting alternative methods of sanitation must be a priority after a disaster.
Food shortages are often an immediate health consequence of disasters. Existing food stocks may be destroyed or disruptions to distribution systems may prevent the delivery of food. In these situations, food relief programs should include the following elements: (1) assessment of food supplies available after the disaster, (2) determination of the nutritional needs of victims, (3) calculation of daily food needs, and (4) surveillance of victims' nutritional
A woman gets her monthly distribution of food at a disaster-relief center in Baghdad. Following the 2003 war in Iraq, hundreds of relief agencies provided support to affected citizens.
After a disaster, victims must be protected from hazardous climatic conditions, such as severe temperatures or precipitation. People should be kept dry, reasonably well clothed, and able to access emergency shelter.
Disasters can also cause disruptions to the health care infrastructure. Hospitals and health centers may suffer structural damage, or health personnel may be among the casualties, limiting the ability to provide health services to disaster victims. Emergency Health Kits that contain essential medical supplies and drugs are often provided to victims as part of the immediate response to disasters. Developed through the collaboration of various relief organizations, these kits are designed to meet the primary health care needs of people without access to medical facilities. Each kit covers the needs of about 10,000 persons for three months, at a cost of about fifty cents per person. The twelve essential drugs in the basic kit include anti-inflammatories, an antacid, a disinfectant, oral dehydration salts, an antimalarial, a basic antibiotic (effective against the most common bacteria), and an ointment for eye infections. These medicines can treat the most common illnesses of disaster victims, such as anemia, pain, diarrhea, fever, respiratory tract infections, eye and ear infections, measles, and skin conditions. The basic kit also includes simple medical supplies such as cotton, soap, bandages, thermometers, some medical instruments, health cards and record books, and items to help create a clean water supply.
Risk of Disease
Natural disasters do not usually result in infectious disease outbreaks. However, certain circumstances can increase the chance for disease transmission. Immediately after a disaster, most increases in disease incidence are caused
by fecal contamination of water and food supplies. This contamination usually results in intestinal disease. Outbreaks of communicable diseases are directly associated with population density and displacement. If disaster victims live in overcrowded conditions or are forced to leave their homes, the risk of a disease outbreak increases. An increased demand on water and food supplies, elevated risk of contamination, and disruption of sanitation services all contribute to the risk of a disease outbreak.
In the longer term after a disaster, the risk for vector-borne diseases increases. Vector-borne diseases are spread to humans by insects and other arthropods, such as ticks or mosquitoes. Vector-borne diseases are of particular concern following heavy rains and floods. Insecticides may be washed away from buildings and the number of mosquito breeding sites may increase. In addition, wild or domestic animals that have been displaced can introduce infection to humans.
International disaster relief organizations play an important role in the response to disasters. They provide valuable supplies and personnel to victims and help to minimize the social, economic, and health consequences of a disaster. Health concerns, such as potential disease outbreak, malnutrition, and poor sanitation, should be addressed immediately after a disaster to avoid serious health consequences. International relief organizations help victims fulfill unmet needs and play a vital role in effective disaster management.

NORWALK, Ohio — A homeless man reportedly with a history of stealing from family members is accused of stealing video games and action figures from his 8-year-old son and pawning them for money to buy drugs.
Jeremy Morrow, 33, and his girlfriend, Gala Barney, 44, also homeless, were charged with misdemeanor theft and booked into the Erie County Jail.
However, thanks to his grandmother, the boy will have toys for the holidays, Erie County Sheriff's Sgt. Dennis Papineau said.
Morrow — possibly estranged from the boy's mother, who has custody — was visiting the house in Milan Township earlier this month, Papineau said. A week later, the boy's mother realized the items — a Nintendo 3DS and related games and a Skylander Xbox 360 — were missing. The woman called police and said she believed her son was involved because he has a past history of stealing from family members, Papineau said.

Hard to believe, but the multi-talented actress, singer and linguist Kat Graham has only just turned 21 today! We would be inclined to believe the Vampire Diaries star used some real-life witchcraft to accomplish so much at her age, but anyone who follows her on Twitter can tell the girl works nonstop. We hope she's taking a moment to kick back and enjoy her birthday for a minute, in-between singing catchy new pop tunes and somehow working out whether Elena can avoid becoming a vampire and still live.
What with her power constantly being a pawn in the vampires' awful battles, it hasn't been such a fun year for poor Bonnie, has it? We're glad it's been one for the "Put Your Graffiti on Me" singer, though. Just check out her neon-splattered, '90s pop-art inspired wardrobe in the gallery below and you'll see what we mean. And when you're done, head over to Kat's page on TheWaterProject.org and make a donation in honor of her birthday!

Cozy Claws: Amazing Lobster Salad!
I had really been crazing lobster recently and decided to do an Eastern Seaboard style dinner inspired by something I saw in an issue of Martha Stewart's Living Magazine. As lobster is a tad expensive and one of four of us was a vegetarian I decided to make the lobster a side dish and looked for a recipe for Lobster Salad. I found this on Epicurious.com and it is really delicious! I credit the lemon zest, really light and really refreshing! I served mine on Endive leaves.
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 11-12 oz frozen lobster tail thawed
Combine first 4 ingredients and 2 tablespoons chives in medium bowl. Cook lobster in medium pot of boiling salted water until just opaque in center, about 8 minutes. Drain, cool. Remove meat from shell. Dice lobster; fold into mayonnaise mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
I served this on endive leaves as a side dish.

a. Any member of the Oberlin College community may bring a complaint about student conduct to the attention of a judicial coordinator. Incident reports from the Office of Safety and Security and written reports from members of the residential education staff may result in disciplinary charges.
(1) Students are not required to report violations of the code of conduct (with the exception of violations
of the Sexual Offense Policy), but should consider the consequences of unreported incidents for the
(2) It may not be possible to adjudicate anonymous complaints because of the need for reasonable evidentiary standards. Therefore, community members should take seriously their obligation to report violations and to participate in resulting judiciary procedures.
b. Complaints must ordinarily be filed within 10 business days from the date of the alleged incident. A judicial coordinator may determine exceptions on a case-by-case basis, up to a maximum of 12 months from the alleged incident.
c. Complainants are instructed to meet with a judicial coordinator, who informs individuals about their rights, responsibilities, and options, as well as the hearing or mediation process.
d. If a complainant wishes to file a formal complaint following a conference with a judicial coordinator, he or she must complete a complaint form (available in the Office of the Dean of Students) and indicate a preference for mediation or adjudication.
e. A judicial coordinator has the authority to determine whether an alleged behavior might reasonably have constituted an infraction of the code of conduct and whether there is sufficient information to proceed with a charge. A judicial coordinator also has the authority to proceed with a charge in the absence of a complaint (or in the event that a complaint is withdrawn) if there is sufficient information from a third source, such as a Safety and Security incident report.
f. A judicial coordinator may also refer students involved in judicial matters to the Oberlin College Dialogue Center (OCDC) for mediation when both of the following conditions are met:
(1) Both parties agree to mediation as the appropriate means for addressing their dispute; and
(2) Major violations of the rules and regulations (those likely, according to precedent, to result in suspension or dismissal) have not occurred, as determined by a judicial coordinator.
g. All charges are filed by a judicial coordinator, on behalf of the college.
h. In instances where there is a lack of clarity about whether a case falls under the jurisdiction of the Judicial or Honor System, the Dean of Students or the dean's designee in consultation with the cochairs of the Student Honor Committee will determine which system (Judicial or Honor) shall hear the case.

Justin Bieber's Rumored Victoria's Secret Model Date Doesn't Like His Girlfriend Selena Gomez
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have been dodging breakup rumors for months now, and this newest info about Justin's rumored date with a Victoria's Secret model certainly isn't helping things one bit!
Justin was photographed with Barbara Palvin, a 19-year-old Hungarian model, during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on November 7. According to Hollywood Life, the very next day, she was photographed walking into a Broadway performance of The Lion King just after Justin was seen entering.
What's more, the site has uncovered a USTREAM video where Barbara is quoted as telling fans that while she likes Justin's music, she isn't too fond of his girlfriend. "I don't like Selena Gomez, by the way, but I love Argentina," she says.
That said, Selena doesn't seem too pleased with Barbara, either. On November 8, Selena saw a photo that Justin's friend Lil Twist had posted — and then later deleted — of himself, Justin, and Barbara. Selena grabbed the photo before Lil Twist deleted it, andposted it to her own Twitter page, writing only, "......"
Sounds like neither of the two ladies are all that fond of each other.
