Faux Finishes & Restoration Techniques for Historic Homes

Victorian Bathroom Restoration (c.1899 Home)    

This mosaic tile restoration job used motifs found in stained glass throughout the home and nearby homes. The home, featuring Aesthetic movement decor throughout many rooms, had a bathtub that simply could not be removed, due to accessibility issues near the row home. For this reason, the mosaics were made a featured element of the room, masking the 1970's origin of the tub. The matte tiles were special ordered from the Mosiac Tile Company of Rockville MD. Design solely by Urban Revivals.
