IN STYLE

hen you’re building your own home from

scratch, you can go any direction—including

building a vintage-style luxury bathroom. In

this White, Georgia, home, the team at Scott

Homes Inc. worked to give this homeowner a bathroom that’s

truly one of a kind.

EXECUTING A PLAN

The rooms in your home should reflect your personality, and

that was true here. “[The homeowner] wanted a bath that had

an old feel while still implementing modern amenities,” says

Monique Vidoli of Scott Homes. The homeowner is an avid

traveler and collects vintage items, so her lifestyle laid the

groundwork for the bathroom.

In keeping with the vintage style, the bathtub has a retro

look due to its antique nickel finish. The tile floor was inspired

by a Mexican restaurant the homeowner visited on one of her

adventures. Antique swan doors separate the water closet from

the rest of the bathroom and feature wood from an antiques

retailer in Alabama. Mixed in with the retro elements is a soap-

stone countertop atop the vanity. Together with the subway-tile

wainscoting and green walls, the result is a retro yet updated

space in which to pamper and get ready each morning.
