They began this renovation with planking the walls, leaving one wall with exposed brick. For Charlotte, the design element key to making this rustic bathroom a success was the sink basins. She had always loved the look of ceramic bowl basin sinks and that’s what she had her heart set on, so with a little work she made it happen.

She found two brightly painted ceramic bowls at Anthropologie and brought them to a granite shop to get holes drilled for the drains. Then plumbing was hooked up to the bowls and they were set atop rustic barn-like shelving. Once the sink was complete, Charlotte was beside herself that her dream had been realized. The result is cozy and charming. Well done, Charlotte.
