Subway Tiles @ Soho Grand Hotel
Posted on | February 22, 2010 | 13 Comments
I notice the funniest things since I started renovating a house. In our bathroom at the Soho Grand Hotel I was fascinated by the subway tile design. If you look closely the second tile from the top is not a standard rectangle. It’s square, interesting. I couldn’t find a reason why they did this other then to break up the line.
The hotel bathroom was simple but classic. A pretty pedestal sink with a gooseneck faucet and a stone hex floor. The floor tiles were cream, taupey brown/gray, and gray grout. Kinda funky and different. Look closely at the floor photo below. It may look out of focus on the edges but actually the floor really looked like this. It would change color as you looked at it in the distance. The sketch wallpaper keeps the space from feeling too traditional and adds a modern twist.
Below the view from our hotel room. How great is New York?

We have three bathrooms in our house that are the same basic shape that need to gutted and renovated. On the second floor I would love to put in a claw foot tub. I found this inspiration a few months ago over at Eddie Ross. One of the disadvantages of a claw foot tub is the lack of storage for toiletries. Check out the shelves and bench that surround the tub above. Kinda interesting idea? I think you could achieve the look in a number of different ways. I do like that the shelves are painted the same color as the beadboard. Have you found a solution for this common storage problem?
