Renovating an old house by a musical couple who want to live there the rest of their lives.
Bathroom Details
Two years ago we visited Charleston, South Carolina, and stayed in a cute room with a small but well-ordered bathroom.
This bathroom gave us some ideas for our own new bathrooms especially the one in the conservatory.
While I was debating if we should hang a small cabinet over the toilet I remembered the top photo where there is a wall-hung towel bar complete with fluffy towels.
Since the only other place in the conservatory bathroom to hang large bath towels would be on the front of the vanity I decided we need bars in both places.
In addition to the 2 towels bars I already bought for the front of the vanity I’ll need to purchase a 24-inch model for over the toilet.
I also ordered a coordinating handle for the shower door which I think could double as a towel hook.
I love sitting on the loveseat in the conservatory and gazing into the new bathroom which is almost finished.
Do you coordinate or deliberately vary your decorative details? Or a combination of both?
Welcome to The Glade, where the second generation of renovations has just begun and the mania about our home, music and other passions fill our days and nights.
We’re Charlie and Jo in the music world; Mary Jo and Charles to family; and JoJo and Charlie to each other. We are renovating a midcentury house in a Victorian historic district where we want to live there the rest of our lives. It's a 1946 house located in Maryland. We were married in this house.
Thus far (pre-blog) we refinished cabinets, added a window seat (still working on the cushion), rearranged a wall in the guest house due to sink/vanity replacement, planted a vegetable garden, and other quick and not-so-quick fixes. So this latest zeal for construction is the result of my having lived here since 1997 and feeling a need to ready the house for the next chapter and beyond.

I like to coordinate through the house. Our last home was more modern. We are working on the new one to be “modern craftsman”…my terminology.
It’s fun to make up our own personal nomenclature. My mother (who was very elegant) used to call her style “Contemporary Contemptible” which I like to think I’ve inherited. Jo

I never thought about hanging towels over the toilet. That is a problem I am debating now…where to hang towels.
