I love bathrooms. Is that a weird thing to say? There are fewer interchangeable decorative aspects to a bathroom but that doesn't mean bathrooms have to be boring. There are so many different little finishes to pick that you can have a ton of fun adding personality. Personally, I love when a bathroom has a crisp white base. Add in a few wood accents to warm it up, a dark floor to ground it, and a few blingy bits for pizzazz and you've got the bathroom of my dreams.

Here are a few of my favourites:

I've shared this bathroom before but it's one of my all-time favourites, so you get to see it again!

And here's what I came up with:

1. Gorgeous free-standing tub. I will have this in my bathroom someday.
2. Complete with brushed bronze wall-mount faucet.
3. A glittery overhead light fixture.
4. Fun metal fish hooks for hanging towels.
5. Cute chemist and baker's jars to store cotton swabs and the like.
6. A (framed) print featuring a beautiful quotation from Ralph Waldo Emerson.
7. Very cool looking brushed bronze shower head.
8. In a separate shower clad with polished white limestone subway tiles and trimmed with honed bianco marble pencil tile. 
9. Modern yet classic toilet. (Note: Toilets should only ever be white. Any other colour will date very quickly...and probably always look dirty. Have we learned nothing from the 70s/80s?)
10. Crisp white towels.
11. Gorgeous black pebble mosaic for all floors, including the shower. I would use a dark black grout - so that the floors looked and felt textured, rather than pebbled.
12. Midcentury dresser, converted into a bathroom vanity...
13. With mirrored mercury glass knobs...
14. And a pair of white oval-shaped countertop sink basins...
15. Each complete with a modern brushed bronze faucet and taps.
16. A simple mirror, hung on its side above the vanity.
17. And matching metal light fixtures above each sink basin.

P.S. A lot of these pieces come from Home Depot!
