About the project

We built and installed the cabinetry for this bath in our shop. The vanity is cerused white oak with brass pulls, which keeps it calm under the fern wallpaper. The linen tower is navy beadboard and fills the wall between the shower and the window, with lit shelves behind the upper doors.
