A Quirky Kids Bathroom
Posted by Erin | Filed under Inspiration, Musings
I stumbled on this adorable kids bathroom a few days ago and haven’t been able to shake the image since. Those perfectly-hued green faucet fixtures? That neon cloud light? It all begs to be played in, and I can almost hear the happy splashes and giggles during an impromptu evening bath hour.
I didn’t manage to find the designer of that perfect lighting, but I did spot this Nimbus cloud pendant that would make for an outstanding alternative.
Tell me, would you ever go to such great lengths to decorate your child’s bathroom? Or would you settle for a cute bathmat and call it a day?

… patchwork tile your bathroom backsplash?
Bathrooms are all too often ignored in the home, taking a backseat to the “fun-to-decorate” rooms like living rooms, bedrooms and dining spaces. Why not have some fun in your bathroom and shine the spotlight on an otherwise forgotten space?
Get creative with your backsplash by designing a patchwork tile effect of different styles and designs. Keep the look grounded and clean by sticking to one color scheme (I love the light palette in the image above!), but go wild with patterns, textures and the rest. You’ll be amazed at how transformative the look can be!
Happy tiling!

… let stone take center stage in your home?
Sure, rocks are so often relegated as an accent: granite countertops, marble lamps and concrete planters. Yet when’s the last time you saw stone make such a huge, vertical impact as it does in this modern Miami bathroom?
I can’t imagine how expensive an entire slab might cost, so instead, I’d simply head to my local printers and blow up a large-scale agate photo to create a one-of-a-kind wall mural worthy of even the choosiest of geologists.
What do you think? Is this too much for you to handle, or would you try an agate mural in your home?

A Bathtub Boat!
Posted by Erin | Filed under Inspiration, Musings
The moment I spotted this fun, quirky (yet oh so beautiful and sophisticated!) bathtub boat on Shelterness, I knew precisely what I’d be writing about today. After all, it’s not every day you see a well-designed object that so perfectly beckons you to live that slow, meaningful life you’ve always dreamed of.
Indeed, life is fast. Slowing down for a warm tub sounds like a dream come true – especially when soaking in a wanderlust-inspired object. What do you think, friends? Would you purchase (or build!) a tub shaped like a boat? Or is it a bit too… nautical for your taste? Weigh in below!

…cover your entire bathroom in mirrors?

The look screams vanity, but with a touch of creative class. Of course, if there’s one room you can be vain in, I’d say it’s the bathroom.
Designed by German firm Tulp Design, the look is anything but average. Even the ceiling is covered with differing sizes of white, glossy mirrors, making the space feel larger – if not a bit chaotic.
What do you think? Would you ever recreate this look in your own bathroom? Or are some reflective angles better left unseen?
