Sometimes the look of a renovation gives its era away. And in the case of this beautiful 1900s Victorian-style home in Boston, the redone bathroom was giving turn-of-the century time capsule — just not the right century. “The bathroom had last been renovated in the early 2000s (think: lots of beige, white, and travertine tile),” says Elana Gaines, founder and designer at Afternoon Creative. “Overall, the space felt dingy and uninspired, out of step with the charm and craftsmanship of the rest of this early 1900s Victorian home.”
