A vintage-focused home in South Norwalk, Connecticut, features a bathroom transformed without changing the footprint or doing extensive construction. The original space had plain white walls, an older shower stall, a pedestal sink, and black-and-white tile floors, making it feel dark and disconnected. The goal was to make the room intentional, expressive, and alive, while keeping it light and not overly serious. The makeover centered on painting the bathroom pink, adding layered art and vintage pieces, and using decor sourced from a curated vintage store and an antique shop. The result became an unapologetically feminine “ladies’ room” with personality and humor.
"Located in South Norwalk, Connecticut, The Mariner and the Muse is a curated vintage store of all things furniture, homeware, and interiors. Unsurprisingly, Jill's home is a reflection of her love for vintage and design - and the bathroom might be the clearest example."
"The bathroom was "frozen in time, with plain white walls, an older shower stall, a pedestal sink, and black-and-white tile floors," Jill explains. "It was functional, but felt dark and disconnected from the rest of the home.""
"So instead of changing the footprint or taking on extensive construction, Jill focused on paint, lighting, and layered pieces."
""I did not want it to feel overly serious or overdesigned," Jill shares. "It was important that it carried a sense of humor, that it felt light, a bit irreverent, and full of personality.""
