Custom Vanity + Cabinet: David Wing Design
When the owner decided to update their narrow bathroom, which dates back to 1922, the hope was to create a functional space with a mid-century aesthetic.

To open up this slender space, a pocket door took the place of its original. Further, a custom vanity and vertical cabinet were built by David Wing, allowing for more spaciousness once inside. The pieces are made from a dark wood with bold grain patterns, which wrap perfectly from side to front. This new storage solution allows for clear counters—it even features a hidden outlet for electric toothbrushes. Inset handles round out the overall feel of mid-century simplicity and unobtrusiveness.
Building on the classic structure set by these furnishing comes playfulness through color and pattern. The far wall and radiator pull a bright and airy blue from the styled cement floor tiles. To the right lies the soaking tub, a feature which makes this bathroom a space a true relaxation. Subway tile lends an overall crispness to the bathing space, with a small pop of color coming through the inlaid shower shelf.
Sconces replace traditional recessed lighting, given the whole space a warmer and softer glow without compromising light quality. The comprehensive whole of the bathroom is a space of both productivity and leisure.
