he lack of a powder room on the first floor prompted this
bathroom design by Marcia Moore Design. What was once
a coat closet became the spot for the new powder room. At
only 24 inches deep, the designer also stole some space from the
large front entry to allow for a small-scale toilet and vanity in the
new powder room. A pocket door was added to enhance the usability
of the space. The homeowner loves saturated color and bold design
and was not afraid to take a risk on the daring Cole & Son wallpaper. The
console sink with brass stand and exposed plumbing is appropriate
for the time period of the home, which was built in the 1920s. The
Waterworks faucet also honors the aesthetic. The ribbed texture in
the Visual Comfort light fixtures complements the coral design on
the wallpaper. The mirror was painted black to match the wallpaper
and baseboards for an overall cohesive design.
Why the judges love it: The design did a great job of honoring
the historic aspect of the home. The vanity perfectly fits the 1920s
style. We love the choice of wallpaper. See stlouishomesmag.com

acing a bathroom that had not been touched since the
home had been built in the 1950s, Marcia Moore Design
brought the space up to the times while honoring
the Mid-Century Modern style of the 50s. The previous bath was
small with only one sink, a small shower and a soffit that closed in
the bathroom. A hall linen closet abutted the shower wall, so the
designer stole space from the hall closet to expand the bathroom to
include two sinks and a larger shower. They also removed the soffit
to visually expand the space. To achieve the Mid-Century Modern
styling, material selections were extremely important. The warm,
natural color and graining of the solid walnut cabinetry led the way.
The homeowners loved the contrast between the warm wood tones
and the black, white and brass color palette. A hexagon shape on the
floor played well with the square wall tile. The Mid-Century Modern
style is also emphasized in the simple, streamlined materials like the
Kohler Purist faucet.
Why the judges love it: What a transformation! This bathroom has
a great Mid-Century Modern feel. We love the variation in the graining
of the wood cabinetry. See stlouishomesmag.com for resources.
