Before Margaret Williamson even attempted to transform her guest bathroom, she had her hands full. In addition to running House of Modern Vintage, Williamson and her husband have spent the past two years renovating their circa-1850s New Orleans home—all while raising a three-year-old and wrangling two pugs. Every inch of the property became a project, and this room was the last on their list.
“I originally planned to renovate the entire bathroom,” she says. “But honestly, I didn’t want to invest any more money into a room only a few people would use, and I was losing my mind with the never-ending construction.”
