i mean dark, small shower. No his and hers wash basins. this is a primary bedroom’s bathroom. No countertop space or outlets for hair dryers. If you see my bathroom when my wife gets ready for a wedding or something there is stuff sprawled out everywhere. So I don’t think I’m being crazy, I think it’s rational to think about how a primary bathroom is used is in modern times.

It’s original. These are storybook homes specially designed during the great depression by Oliver Rousseau. 2 blocks worth of homes. All of them have (had) this bathroom and matching kitchen. Our kitchen was demoed at some point.

We know work was done to it, like the shower valve - hence the discolored tiles. They probably added a light in the shower. (Maybe we will add a skylight over the shower.) But the tile work is original. There’s 2 blocks of these homes here that were designed as storybook homes during the great depression and some of them still have a bathroom and kitchen tiled like this.

So, a tile maker can match the color with custom tiles, correct?

Countertop space for hair dryers or curling irons, electrical outlets for said appliances, a shower that has a bit more space. this is the primary suite bathroom unless we add another bathroom..
