Book Description

<P>Bungalow Bathrooms is a guide to restoring or designing a period-style bathroom in the Arts & Crafts style. It teaches you to go beyond the traditional pedestal sink and claw-foot tub to incorporate some of the most beautiful tile, woodwork, fixtures, and decorative elements available. The book provides a wealth of information about flooring, cabinets, countertops, fixtures, faucets, and all the other elements that make up one of the most-used rooms in the home. </P> --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From the Back Cover

In this sequel to the bestselling Bungalow Kitchens, Jane Powell and Linda Svendsen turn to the second most complex room in the house. While utilitarian by nature, the bathroom doesn't have to emphasize usage. As reflected in these pages, the bathroom can--and should--be a beautiful extension of the home style--and what better examples than those from the Arts & Crafts era.

Though it may seem a self-evident feature of the Arts & Crafts style, bungalow bathrooms are truly artistic endeavors. They go beyond the traditional pedestal sink and claw-foot tub to some of the most beautiful tile work, woodwork, fixtures, and decorative elements available.

Bungalow Bathrooms is a guide to restoring or designing a period-style bathroom for a bungalow or other nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century house. It provides a wealth of information about flooring, cabinets, countertops, fixtures, faucets, and all the other elements that make up a bungalow bathroom, as well as advice on how to integrate modern technology while maintaining the bungalow look.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must have, Jan 4 2011

This review is from: Bungalow Bathrooms (Paperback)
This book is a must have if you planned to renew your old house bathroom. We own a 1910 foursquare house and we are looking for ideas and technical facts to do it right. Pictures are really inspiring and it's very interesting to know all those details about the history of bathroom in his early years. I also have ordered the Bungalow kitchen book and I hope it is as interesting as the bathroom book. I'll keep you posted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have if you are doing a bungalow renovation!!!, April 22 2004

This review is from: Bungalow Bathrooms (Hardcover)
I am doing a bungalow renovation, serving as the designer and general contractor ALTHO I have no experience in either area. I was all done, so I thought, but during the process made the decision not to replace the circa 1995 vinyl squares floor because I couldnt fine anything better. Voila! The room was all done, but - the floor looked totally yuck/wrong because rest of the room was in beautiful new correct bungalow style . I turned to this book for inspiration- and studied all the pictures- evening after evening. The right answer came! light grey 4" hex tiles! I am so thrilled even tho some of the work had to be redone... the floor pulled everything together.. like a little exclamation point. "BUNGALOW BATHROOMS" saves the day!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for those restoring or remodeling a bungalow bathroom, Jan 14 2004

This review is from: Bungalow Bathrooms (Hardcover)
This book is a wealth of information for anyone restoring or remodeling a bungalow bathroom! All the information I have been searching for is right here in one book. We demolished a BAD 70's remodel, and are in the process of restoring our bath to it's original (1926) condition. This book covers it all beautifully!
Especially helpful are the sections labeled 'Obsessive restoration' and 'Compromise solution'. These give you choices on how historically accurate you would like to be. These sections have kept my husband and I out of marriage counseling!
I would highly recommend this book. I liked this book so much I want to get the others available from these authors.
