UNDERSTATED

This is kind of space I'm willing my head to be in right now...


Clear of clutter, absolutely fresh, and focused on the important things. Like bold wall decor. And leafy accents (whether gilded or recently plucked from the garden).  And great seating (even in the form of a miniature stool).

ROOM OF THE WEEK: 6.2

Long weekends always make for crammed weeks. My inbox is overflowing, my back hurts from sitting at the laptop too long, and I've scheduled something every evening until Sunday... which means zero downtime. I know we all have those weeks, which is why we should also all have a room like this...

Ahhhhhh.... heavenly. Not just the bath but that marble surround, fresh flowers, natural light and clean design. I realize I've been posting on bathrooms a lot - it's totally due to a separate project I was working on - but it's made me realize what a luxury it is to have something like this! Notice that storage space at the end of the room? Fab.

Double sinks are always required. I love how big these are - I'm forever splashing water all over my counters. A little more storage space would be nice, but a few more baskets would solve that. I'm not usually a fan of blonde wood, but in here it's perfect. Anything else would feel too heavy, and the addition of a natural material is totally necessary to keep it from feeling too cold.

And when you don't have time for a relaxing bath, a nice deep shower isn't a bad substitute. The frosted windows help it feel larger than it is - bonus.

Any complaints? I didn't think so.

ROOM OF THE WEEK 5.19

I thought it only appropriate that today's Room of the Week be punctuated with vibrant yellow on such a sunny day...

I have a feeling this is going to be a love it or hate it for most of you! While I'll fully admit that I don't find the space relaxing (or functional) enough for my personal bath, it would be fantastic in a larger home where you can get playful with all those spare rooms floating around. Or a hotel, for that matter. But that's the point of this series, right? Incredible designs that make you go 'wow', and this one sure did it for me.

The yellow sink was the icing on the cake - it looks like the paint is dripping from the ceiling and wall right down the drain. The triple mirrors was an interesting choice. I think I would have just continued the wrap around mirror that's above the bath on one side, and left the right side empty (or maybe some very sleek floating shelving?)

Soooo - love it? Or hate it? Either way, it is quite the room!

Ecletic Bathroom Interior Design by Mary Evelyn McKee

 That is a creative Ecletic bathroom interior design, the designer Mary Evelyn McKee gave the enveloping atmosphere by Using a map-print toilet for the walls and window treatments of this powder room and measures with dramatic scale and dimension. It's a wonderful batroom interior design.

Brandon Barré

I've shared this heavenly bathroom designed by Candice Olson before, but when I discovered the corresponding bedroom in the portfolio of Toront0-based Brandon Barré I was delighted! What a beautiful, cozy cove! It would be such a luxury to have a wall like that, opening up to a private deck. Then to have such an amazing bathroom in the other direction?! Dream space!!!

Bathroom - Decoration

The indoor bathroom decoration pictures from Jacuzzi, these a four bathroom interior that have a different style. Every bathroom designed to give a maximum comfortability for the users. An exquisite bathroom requires the elements of elegance that reflects the tone of your bathrooms and your personality as a person using the bathroom. Let’s see the pictures and found the right style for your bathroom.

Sea Meets Sky

If I hadn't discovered these photos via Colorado Homes & Lifestyles, I would have sworn the house was in New England! For good reason though, as the owners lived in Massachusetts for many years before moving to Denver. Interior Nan Procknow and architect Don Ruggles worked to execute their vision of a new home inspired by their summers spent on the coast. I love the soft blue and green color scheme throughout the home. The glass tiles on the backsplash are gorgeous! Don't miss the rest of the home here!

Garry Mertins

Dream bath alert! Little Rock designer Garry Mertins created this soothing spa-like retreat that was featured in At Home in Atlanta and photographed by Nancy Nolan. I love that a custom wall color was created to match the existing tile. (I always get so sad when people want to get rid of turquoise tile!) My favorite feature here, other than the color, is the overflowing soaking tub. What I'd give to fill my bathtub up to the brim and soak away the day! Read more about this tranquil space here!

I cannot thank you guys enough for all the comments and emails yesterday! I was on Cloud 9 all day long, couldn't stop smiling! Your kind words only made me that much happier! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! :D
