SCOOP
LOCATION: White, Georgia
COST: $18,000–$22,0000
BEST FEATURE: Bathtub
ITEM TO SPLURGE: Though the
bathtub looks old, it was
actually new and cost $4,500.
ITEM TO SAVE: The vanity uses
reclaimed wood the homeowner
salvaged, which trimmed the
cost by about $300.
opposite: The black-and-white encaustic tile floor is the perfect match for the retro look of the bathtub.
above: The homeowner collected the spindles on the vanity when she was in college. She had no idea
what to do with them until the construction of the bathroom.

The bathtub
on top of the
black-and-white
encaustic tile floor
sets off the entire
space.”
