Bathroom Talk

A bathroom is a place where we get ready for the day, the place where we sometimes plant unpleasant business, and the place where we wash off the dirt of yesterday. Some bathrooms are small and outdated, like mine, while some are downright luxurious.

What I really love about this bathroom is the gold mirror with the black sink and grey speckled walls; the contrast is perfect. The light fixture is stunning as well.

The file cabinet turned sink and vanity is genius and inspires me to look for an old file cabinet desk. How about you?

Is this a tropical island or actually someone’s bathroom? Your guess is as good as mine, but it sure looks amazing.

This picture proves any bathroom can look luxurious with the right fixtures. For example: This bathroom has a bold mirror, which accentuates the height of the room and smaller gold mirrors give it a luxurious and vintage feel versus the basic vibe that a single medicine cabinet mirror creates. This bathroom even has curtains and a footstool/bench. Does your bathroom have curtains, a chandelier, and a footstool/bench? Mine unfortunately does not.

Rope Lighting

I feel like I need this rope lighting in my bathroom for the same reason the kiddies do, fear of darkness. I would prefer to have every light on in the house than for it to ever, in a million years, be completely dark. These lights would also help the problem of toe stubbing in the middle of the night, but would not be good for doing make-up so I would advise adding a BRIGHT vanity light in addition to these for that purpose.

Okay, so the lesson taught here is look for an old file cabinet to up-cycle, rope lights, and luxurious fixtures. Not quite, but really bathrooms come in all sizes and styles. Yours might not be as calming and visually appealing as mentioned above, but you can always do something to improve it. Whether it is something simple as adding a new rug, or something a little more complicated like replacing a fixture or lighting, you can always do something.

What did you gather from this post? Which bathroom looked like a place that you'd like to rest your bum?
