A previous client called us to renovate a bath in their Waltham Highlands home. The house has a storied history. Built in 1900, the home was originally part of a farm near the Central Mass Railroad. There is still an old train station nearby. The house is closest to a Victorian Shingle – popular in the United States from 1840 to 1900. Although the goal was to update the bathroom, the homeowners still wanted to keep a period feel in the space. We worked with her to choose components that reflect the period but with all the modern convenience’s of today’s homes.
The William Morris wallpaper, Golden Lily, became the guiding decorative element of the bathroom. The Feinmann design team reallocated space from the adjacent study to enlarge the bathroom, specifically the shower enclosure. The vanity and another storage piece were designed to look like pieces of furniture with rubbed bronze hardware. The vanity and “highboy” cabinet were created through Greenfield with Peacock Green granite surfaces. The mosaic in the shower is composed of handmade tiles. The floor is Honey Onyx and Olivine in a basketweave pattern. The other tile throughout the bath is Neri Bone.

- Royal Revival ProjectWe had an excellent experience with everyone at Feinmann. Our project manager was responsive and kept communication clear throughout. The head carpenter was a pleasure to work with, and our designer/architect brought great talent and vision to the project. We highly recommend hiring them without hesitation.
- Cambridge, MAWe loved having entire Feinmann team in our home and appreciated them treating it like it was their own. The work they did is all over-the-top gorgeous. They coached us to select products and finishes that will last a lifetime (and through our toddler), and the craftsmanship with which it was all executed certainly will hold up to time. I admire daily the integration of existing and new, and regret only that in time I’ll likely forget which is which. Feinmann is masterful at what they do. I really can’t say enough nice things about them, and their work.
