Bathroom Envy…


I loved this bathroom at last year’s Hampton’s Decorator Showhouse. The finishes and the style were very classic – polished nickel, console sink, marble floor. Very soothing and pretty…

It was a nice sized room to start with so that always helps, and rather than a typical rectangle this one was square-ish. I prefer square rooms in general (round amazing…) but here it allowed the designer to add a sizable ottoman in the middle of the room. I liked the unusual shape of it which made the room casual, interesting, and fun.

Having furniture in a bathroom is such a luxury, but not always possible. I try and get it in there when I can. I probably would have considered leather/pleather or a terry cloth slip cover for real everyday use. After all if you cannot sit there, why have it?

Hmmmm - I wonder if I can squeeze in a little furniture in my new bath? I certainly hope so…

Just beautiful! I've always loved the polished nickel and the marble. If it were me, I'd probably put in a Venetian mirror. I love those. And I agree with you on the ottoman, if you can't use it, what good is it?
