Accessorizing the Bathroom

 

Of all the hotels that we have stayed in, probably my favorite bathroom was in Hotel Yountville, in California's Napa Valley area. It's rustic glamour fixtures and finishings offered instant comfort after our drive from the airport.
 
Beautiful accessories such as a lantern, petite metal trays of cosmetic luxuries and hand towels tucked-away in a lovely basket. These are small touches that one could easily add to their own home.
 
 
I like the idea of arranging small soaps, lotions and potions on a metal tray; especially when guests are expected. Placing a tray or basket of towels on the vanity is a welcoming and luxurious touch.
 
 

 
I especially like the blending of polished metal and iron finishes (or oil-rubbed bronze would work). Mixing two finishes looks far more interesting than having everything match in the same finish.
