Nautical New England Guest Bathroom

With a nod to her guest bathroom’s original nautical theme, Victoria Ford, the Prepford Wife, nails the preppy New England look with walls of 2x8 Tile in Nautical topped with matching Sardis Architectural Molding and a mosaic floor of 1x1 Tile in matte Daisy accented with Mustard Seed, Dusty Blue, Blue Velvet, and Hunter Green.

Checkerboard Laundry Room

Transforming a hall closet into the laundry room of her (and her husband's) dreams, Victoria Ford lists this space as one of her favorites and it's easy to see why. Her bigger and bolder take on a classic checkboard pattern with 8x8 tiles pairs perfectly with the graphic wallpaper.

On Point En Suite

A little rustic. A little post-war. But still a little Victoria. To designer Victoria Ford of Prepford Wife, those were the guidelines going into this en suite bathroom renovation. Ford found what she was looking for with a shower of 3x6 Subway Tile in Dusty Blue to match the bathroom’s wainscoting and 4” Hexagon Tile Basalt and Quick Ship Calcite for a classic high-contrast floor.
