my new house: master bathroom idea board

i am a lot closer to making some decisions in my master bathroom, and i thought i would share the design board that i created for myself...

the flooring is still undecided....i would LOVE to put in a double herringbone floor, but that may change. we may end up doing a basket weave pattern or even just laying larger tiles at an angle. we are doing all of the tile installation ourselves, and laying the hardwood has been a KILLER, so it all depends on how much time and money and ENERGY we have left. if we did opt to do a pattern tile, we will most likely but the grecian white 12 x 12 tiles from home depot and then cut them down ourselves. (which means a LOT of labor.)


i am really excited about the pattern on the shower floor! i am planning on the shower being a simple white marble tile, and i want something more bold on the floor. i looked at doing all kinds of patterns, and when i found the inspiration picture of the above pattern, i fell in LOVE. i also love that all of the materials can be purchased at my local hardware store, which means we can keep the cost low.

i ordered this light from restoration hardware, and it will be installed over the toilet. a little unorthodox, but i think it will look really fun and give some soft light.
another kind of lighting that’s a bit different for the bathroom is mirror lighting. these can really brighten up the room as well as give extra light for using the mirror you can Buy Bathroom Mirrors Online from Illuminated Mirrors.

i would LOVE, love to put this "lily" by cole and son wallpaper in the toilet closet:
but that may not happen for a while. 

i have met with the cabinet fabricator, and he has some drawings of what the vanity will look like...i will be sharing more details later in the week. (IF i have energy after we finish the hardwood floors! we are 80% done right now, and should finish everything but the powder room and mini-office tonight!)

  6. This is stunning! I would have liked something similar in our new home but I've always been afraid of marble. So much of what I read says it will stain and discolor. Any fears?

    1. no...i dont have any fears about staining or discoloration. i guess if it DOES stain or discolor, i can always have it repaired or replaced. i also see carrara type marbles in older homes that still look great, so i figure if it can still look good after years or wear then i am totally ok too!

  7. It is good that you made a concept board for your house. This way, you can unify the theme of your home. It is also easier for you to set a specific budget since you already have a rough idea on what to buy for your home!

  8. The finished product is going to look great! Everything that you have selected goes together very well. Great job on picking everything out! Thanks for sharing with us.

  9. Thinking about what you can add to your bathroom is good, but I think you should prioritize what you’re gonna do with it first; whether you a Victorian-inspired or Zen-like ambiance. From there, you’d have an idea what kind of fixtures you’re gonna purchase.
