Steal This Look: Manka’s Vintage Bath in Inverness, California

September 11, 2018

A while back we featured the 1900s cabins of Manka’s Inverness Lodge in West Marin. Now, as part of our Golden State week, we’re revisiting the full bath in each of the large cabins, each one complete with a clawfoot tub, an outdoor shower, and vintage fixtures. Here are some ideas for re-creating the look.

It doesn’t have a surface coating that can chip or peel, and has better insulating qualities than traditional cast-iron tubs. With white feet and a chrome drain, it’s $2,990.30 at Quality Bath.
The Native Trails Palomar Vanity Top with Integral Sink is made of a cement and jute fiber concrete; $933.75 at Quality Bath.
