SPAULDING SQUARE: Bathroom

This guest bathroom of the Spaulding Square Project blends historical character with refined material choices, grounded by a carved dark wood vanity that introduces weight and age to an otherwise light and polished space. The vanity, likely repurposed or custom-built from antique elements, is topped with honed marble—its quiet veining and softened finish aligning it with the rest of the room’s stonework.

Walls and floors are wrapped in marble tile, with hexagonal stone underfoot and linear slabs lining the shower. The variation in tone and pattern is subtle but intentional, adding movement without visual noise. The palette is tight—stone, brass, wood—and repeated throughout in small, deliberate gestures.

Brass fittings and a hammered brass basin sit quietly against the cool surfaces, giving warmth and depth without dominating the view. A single pane of glass encloses the shower, keeping the space open and uninterrupted. The shower niche is recessed and lined for continuity, holding only what’s necessary.

A vase of soft, fading pink flowers rests near the tap—just enough to humanize the space. This is not a bathroom filled with decorative gesture, but rather one shaped by enduring materials and a sense of proportion.
