This cool, clean bathroom was designed by the English tile company Original Style, and photographed in Devon. Its design evokes the era of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow School of architecture and art—a fusion of Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, and early Modernist design. Mackintosh (1868–1928) was a Scottish architect and designer, watercolorist, and fine artist who spent most of his career in Glasgow. His unique work blends geometric angularity with subtle curves and abstracted naturalistic forms. The Mackintosh Rose is among his most famous motifs, and the inspiration for the decorative, three-tile set.
This room’s historical look is enhanced by a mirror with a geometric frame, Art Deco light sconces, and an unusual console sink. Separate taps on the curvy tub, as well as a towel-warming wall radiator, are period-inspired and very English.

For a Wet Basement Wall
If there's problem common to old houses, it's a wet basement. I'm not talking about occasional flooding, but rather a basement that apparently seeps or leaks after even a rain shower or during snowmelt. Several approaches are available; sustainable solutions will get to the root of the problem.

The Riddle of the water
When water incursion happens, the roof isn't necessarily the culprit. Maybe snaking a drain line, or clearing debris from a clogged gutter, temporarily will stem a leak. But a recurring problem usually means other forces are at work. It takes persistence-and a team with the right skills and patience—to identify the source and apply a solution.
