Bathroom Glamour

A little bit of girly glamour for a Monday morning... I'm willing to make a bet that the owner of this bathroom has explicitly banned any male from stepping foot over the threshold of this impeccable bathing wonderland.  Can you imagine some great brute of a man standing unsupervised in that gorgeous room, scattering nasal hair all over the place and wiping his hands on the embroidered towel that everyone knows is NOT to be used?  

Personally, I'm most smitten with the spectacular light fittings that glow like regal sea creatures, although the fret work on the door is running a close second.

Anyone for a Little Powder Puff Blue?

...and today, for some super sweet, girly fun I bring to you the cutest bathroom ever created...

If I owned this bathroom I would never come out...

I'd be floating around in that bath, drinking tea from a china cup and eating pastel-coloured macaroons!

Bathroom Vanities

I have a weakness for beautiful bathroom cabinetry - a gorgeous vanity sets the tone for the whole space and should not only provide practical storage, but should be a total feature in itself.  Here are some examples that I just love...

Lots of drawers and a stunning marble top (I also love that the bath is in an entirely separate room)

I adore the way they have created the look of an in-built shelf... a clever delineation of space that provides an opportunity for styling (something often overlooked in bathrooms)

The combination of black and white is stunning - the mirror is spot on... a handsome addition that screams Ralph Lauren sophistication.

Bath Lovers

I love my bath... but I haven't been in it for a while now. The sad truth is that our pathetic little water tank isn't large enough to fill the tub with hot water and in winter the idea of a luke warm soak doesn't exactly fill me with joy. So I'm forced to look at it with longing and pine for the balmy summer's evenings when I can lie there with the windows thrown wide open and scented candles lit all around.

While I've always fancied the idea of a gorgeous, deep claw foot bath, the white painted timber clad one above is today's favourite x

Bathing Beauty

As an antidote to yesterday's minimalist post, I was in need of some serious Nordic prettiness to tip the balance back in favour of things more my style. Look at this beautiful bathroom I discovered over at Vintage & Morrhar - I have a vision of myself lying in that bath with soft music playing and candles lit all around... what bliss, what decadence!

Room for a cushion laden bench... can you imagine? I can barely dry myself in our bathroom without injuring a limb!

Love everything... love the vanity cabinetry, love the benchtop, love the taps, love the mirror

To some, a chandelier above a bath may seem a bit OTT... to me it is the ultimate in frivolous, feminine indulgence

Bathroom Fancy

I have a confession to make.... despite my undying love of all things white, I have a secret love of patterned bathrooms. I suspect it has something to do with the wildy over-the-top pink bathroom that was in my grandmother Marnie's house growing up - complete with a plum coloured suction grip shower mat that I took great pleasure in removing and re-sticking on the walls. Whether it be wallpaper, blinds or tiles, a little bit of pattern is so decadent don't you think?
