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.
