And in the case of this beautiful 1900s Victorian-style home in Boston, the redone bathroom was giving turn-of-the century time capsule - just not the right century. "The bathroom had last been renovated in the early 2000s (think: lots of beige, white, and travertine tile)," says Elana Gaines, founder and designer at Afternoon Creative. "Overall, the space felt dingy and uninspired, out of step with the charm and craftsmanship of the rest of this early 1900s Victorian home."

If you love scouring flea markets and thrift shops for vintage finds, it's a safe assumption that you probably love vintage bathrooms, too - whether it's as small as a half bath or as large as a primary or en suite one.

LAUFEN, a Swiss bathroom manufacturer since 1892, has ceramics at its core. Product development is the result of cutting-edge technological research, notably with the introduction of Saphirkeramik. This new high-performance ceramic material is characterized by exceptional resistance and incredibly thin profiles. The use of this material has enabled the creation of collections with lighter shapes and curved profiles, revolutionizing bathroom design with a balance of lightness and strength. Color adds the final touch to ensure these products lift our sanctuary experiences.

A piece of art was the design starting point for the bathroom. Marlene is a designer, and she and her boyfriend lived in their place for a few months before deciding how to make the apartment feel personal to them. "I found an old New Yorker illustration a friend gifted me years ago and hadn't had the chance to use, so I took it as the main inspo for the look and feel of the space," she says.

It's my third time selling this house, and it was done before I had the listing the first time - long before.
