The bathroom that’s connected to the Molly Brown Suite at one time was the only bathroom in the entire house. When I bought the house, it had a door off the hallway. It also had two toilets with stalls. The additional toilet was added when the house became a convent in the 50″s. Upon renovating, I removed the stall and one toilet. I then relocated the sink so that I could make a doorway connecting the bathroom into that suite. I then eliminated the door leading to the hallway. Doing this makes this bathroom exclusive to the Molly Brown suite.
The bathtub was original to the house, but was surrounded by a half wall covered in a vinyl. The same material was on the adjacent wall as well. I eliminated that and replaced it with tile. I was delighted to find a period style tile for the wall.
I had acquired several nautical pieces, but that theme didn’t really work in South Dakota. (Not much ocean front here)
When I decided to do an Unsinkable Molly Brown room, the nautical worked.
I converted a vintage dresser into a vanity/sink area.
