Bathroom Break


Each of our bathrooms has some nice finishings including Turkish marble and limestone but they need some help to make them look current and luxurious. I've always liked the look of a pale blue bathroom; relaxing, tranquil and classic. I think this could be the way to perk-up the main bathroom. Contenders for paint color are Farrow and Ball's 'Cabbage White' (Andrew's fave) and 'Pale Powder' (My fave and always a sure-thing).

Our other bathroom (shower room actually) is generally nice but looks a bit like a spa designed in the '90's. I'm going to attempt to streamline the look and tone down the whimsy by changing-out the vanity fixture to a more contemporary antique bronze fixture by Forte (there are no pictures of in on the Internet anywhere!). Depending on how the new vanity light looks, I may change the vanity fixture to something more current like the Tena vanity below from the Home Depot.  Speaking of the vanity...Can't you just imagine it re-purposed as a liquor cabinet?

If you have any ideas or inspiration, please send them my way!
