Waterworks

As you probably know by now, I am completely obsessed with tile and bathroom fixtures. So, I bring you one of the happiest places on Earth (at least for weirdos like me). Waterworks is a mecca for luxe bath accoutrements...they have the best of everything from towels and robes to sinks and tubs. I'm lucky enough to have a showroom about a mile from my house so I can visit and drool over their pretty things way too easily.

Voila...this is my dream tub.

Killer vanity...the sconces are especially interesting.

Tile galore!

They also have fabulous accessories. These silver ones are my favorites.

This is the area behind the register. The color of the cabinetry, the dark wood counter, and the white mini subway tile make a fantastic combination - very fresh and sophisticated. I put this photo in my kitchen inspiration coffers.

More amazing vanities - this one is a dark limestone.

This is onyx...you just can't get much prettier than this.

Pretty robes and a perfect tub filler. Hopefully Santa is reading this post and taking notes ;)

Finally, the exterior of my heaven...

Room Recipe

I've gotten lots of questions about where some of our furniture/decor comes from so I thought it might help if I break it down, starting with the master bedroom. Exact items that are still available for purchase are linked below...keep in mind that I got every single thing in this room on sale, so it pays to be patient.

1. Bed - Z Gallerie - Victoria Sleigh Bed
2. Table lamps - Restoration Hardware - Crystal Banister Lamps
3. Nightstands - Bombay Company
4. Mirrors - Ballard Designs
5. Linens - Restoration Hardware - Italian Satin Stitch Bedding
6. Bench - Ballard Designs - Simone Bench
7. Rug - Jonathan Adler
8. Vanity Mirror - Wisteria - Embossed Bone Flower Mirror
9. Floor lamp - Local store
9. Chandelier - antique
10. Vanity and Chest - antique

Some of our stuff is no longer available or is an antique/hand-me-down so I've listed budget-friendly substitution ideas as well. I went as cheap as possible, because I know that most budgets are super tight. Just keep in mind that I'm not vouching for the quality. 

I'm a big believer in high-low, however, there are certain pieces that I'm willing to pay more for. In this room, those items included the bed, crystal lamps, and linens. After I pulled the trigger on those, I filled in the gaps with cheaper finds. On bargain items, I like to see/touch before purchasing or make sure that returning the item is an easy option (for example, Target stores accept returns). The last thing you want, is to receive something that looks cheap and it ends up being too expensive to ship back. This factor is what makes thrifting/antiquing worth it...plus you can usually bargain with sellers.

Bathroom Photos

White is probably my favorite color...is that even possible?
Cute and compact...I like how there is no lip on the shower.
I don't know how this works but I would love to find out. Although I don't like the bronze, it looks pretty cool.
Stripes...how can you resist? Especially when done in tile! Also think those sconces are amazing.
Gorgeous shower...not sure how I feel about the functionality of wood floors in a full bathroom.
I am mainly obsessed with the floor tile...that border is fantastic. Not so sure about that wood toilet seat/cover--is it really necessary to draw attention to that element?
Lights and darks...like my art teacher used to say. Very nice.
Pretty much awesome...the only thing I don't love it the protruding medicine cabinet/mirror. Sputnik ceiling fixture is brilliant!
Besides the fact that the tile work is right up my alley, I think that vanity light is ridiculously perfect.

Magic Tile Fairy: Would you like tile on the ceiling?
K: Yes, please!

P.S. I also would love to have all of those drawers and that stinkin' cute towel cubby.
The combo of tile is fabulous...ditto on that light fixture.
Such a neat set-up, however, I don't think it will work for our bathroom...unless the tub was only about 4' wide!
Cutest shower curtain ever! I'm battling between this one and the one below...

I'm thinking I'll do a shower curtain like this in one of the guest bathrooms...it's such a crisp tailored look. Either this is a tub-only situation or that is a waterproof sunburst mirror ;)
I really like the floor to ceiling glass shower...I imagine it stays nice and warm :)
The gray-white color palette is my fav for a bathroom.
Great wall color.
Can't go wrong with white subway tile. Question - does the water really not splash out with no door?
Cool use of gray trim and industrial sconces...I also would like one of those mini towel bars above the faucet - super cute and functional.

Ultimately if we remodel the bathroom, I would knock down the wall connected the bath to the closet and go with a style shown in the above pics to create a huge master closet/dressing area/bathroom.


Clearly, I have a love affair with marble...I adore the checkerboard pattern above.

I just wanna kiss these hex marble floors and the paint color is perfect. Also, how cool is that window trimmed in tile?
