Wash Room

Lately, feeling very inspired by Pinterest, i've been looking at a lot of photos of great bathrooms. I never realized (perhaps because I live in the equivalent of a homeless shelter?) (no, I don't really, that's a joke, mostly) that bathrooms could be awe inspiring. I mean, I know great big beautiful expensive houses have great big beautiful expensive bathrooms, but I'm talking about pretty standard bathrooms that are amazing because of the colors, patterns, and stylistic details that they embody.


This one, for example. Yes, it is a large, open space, I'll give you that. but nothing in this bathroom is over the top. The pink bursts of color against that gorgeous shade of grey give it a fantastic energy. And honestly, who thinks of putting a chandelier in the same room as a toilet? I certainly wouldn't, but in this bathroom, it works. The high ceilings accommodate it very well. Simple, elegant. ohh-la-la.

This next one, although very different, shares a lot of similarities with the first one. Pops of bold color against a muted palate, with not overly fussy appliances. Also, another thing i've just noticed is that both of these bathrooms are distinctly feminine but in a very subtle way.

Coral and blue are one of my favorite color combinations. I find myself continuously drawn to them. As I spend more and more time looking at pictures of different rooms and color combinations, I find that I like almost exactly the same things over and over again.
But I mean...I guess I shouldn't really be surprised...we like what we like, right?
