AFTER: The brand-new bathroom and updated kitchen take a page from the past, with a vintage pedestal sink and a (mostly) monochrome palette, and classic black-and-white linoleum tile from Armstrong.
With adaptability as a top priority, the designer spent five months transforming the second floor to serve as both a guest apartment for when the home needed to function as two separate residences, and as a well-appointed master suite when it didn’t. “The home originally had two full kitchens, one on each floor,” she explains. “Basically what I ended up doing was dividing the upstairs kitchen into two parts: a kitchenette with a sitting area, and a new bathroom.”
“This is where you’ll find one of the most calming and magical views in the whole house,” Laurel says. The banquette cushions are covered in Sunbrella’s Canvas Spa and Muuto’s Unfold pendant hangs above a found table.
The renovated space was designed to honor the building’s past, with a contemporary twist. In the mini kitchen, custom mint-green cabinetry and classic black-and-white linoleum floors live alongside an airy, peach-hued dining area with built-in banquette seating, arched detailing, and modern lighting. The bathroom, inspired by the monochromatic palettes popular in the ’30s and ’40s, features a vintage Crane pedestal sink and encaustic tile in three shades of green.
“I’ve always been enamored with how the changes to older buildings tell stories,” Laurel says. “I wanted the new addition to honor what came before but also to update it—to create a space that was simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar.”
The consistency in color between the two zones was deliberate. “I wanted them to feel related,” Laurel says. “So I chose a laminate for the cabinets in the kitchen that was a similar shade to the tile in the bathroom. Everything belongs to the same family, but they’re not identical.”
Shades of green envelop the new bathroom thanks to Granada Tile in Pine and Sage (and a single Rose tile!), a coordinating custom-made cabinet, and light green light fixtures from Commune Design.
Nor is anything in the space predictable. Case in point: In the middle of the bathroom floor, among a sea of jade and sage and seafoam green, is a single bubblegum pink tile. “The pink tile is a way of telling a story,” the designer explains. “Old houses have had additions made to them over time, and sometimes these additions are kind of quirky. The pink tile, for me, was a way of putting in a playful detail—but one that also speaks to that sense of change.”
With built-in banquette seating and a wash of warm color, the suite’s compact dining area feels both cozy and uncrowded.
