Dr. Seuss-ish

Colorful fixtures in this bathroom, although clashing with the peach, save it from monotony.

Ancient Italy Design

I really like the light marble design in this one. Reminiscent of ancient Greek or Roman architecture. The marble bust is a nice touch. The only that detracts form the whole style is the screen in the top left.

How Many Mirrors?

There’s too many reflective surfaces. I think I would probably get lost or run into one. At least there’s the one cabinet with color to give some perspective.

Notice that the oval mirror is actually attached to a medicine cabinet. With wall-mounted cabinets typically being rectangular and “institutional” looking, it’s nice to see one that is round and mildly ornate.

I know it’s the end of April so Christmas-themed towels are probably far from your mind but I saw this and had to post it. The photographer used her old wine rack as a hand towel rack. It’s a clever idea and I’m sure there are creative wine racks out there that could be reused this way.

Anatomy of a Bathroom

Most photos of bathrooms are taken from the doorway so it’s refreshing to see a photo like this. For such a cramped space, the bathroom’s owner has done a lot – 2 racks for towels, the shelving above the toilet, the bookcase with the baskets for storage (and some counter space), the framed art & cabinet on the wall.

When space is at a premium you’re going to have to get creative. Here a curved towel rack encircles a sink which puts hand towels within reach. I also like the angles on the pedestal sink.
