I saw this gorgeous inlaid bone mirror on Wisteria the other day and was immediately inspired to find a use for it in a fantasy powder room.  What came from it was this scheme- a little moody, but clean ad sleek too.  I'd paper all the walls in charcoal Imperial Trellis, paint the ceiling in Ralph Lauren's Regent Metallic paint in Silver Plated, hang my favorite Mini George chandelier and anchor it with Waterfall Bath's Louis Vanity in grey accessorized with Michael Smith for Kallista's drop-dead glass knob faucet.

After a couple years sharing a small bathroom, one thing Andrew and I really enjoy about our new place is two full bathrooms. Equally nice, we each took one- but sometimes I wish we just had one big one with separate spaces in it so we can chit chat while getting ready. Traditional Home's Robert Young solved that problem at the 2007 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show with this his and hers bathroom. If you can tear your eyes away from the Erin Adams tile mural, you'll see that off the main bathing space are two smaller spaces, each designated and designed for a man and woman. I love how they relate but each give such a different feel.

I love how the "x" detail of the transom windows is reflected in the cabinetry in the woman's bath

Love the framed chinoiserie paper on the opposite wall of the mural, leading into the man's bath

Oh yeah, Andrew would dig this. What man wouldn't?

So while perusing Velvet & Linen last night I came across another pair of baths in one of Brooke Gianetti's projects- each with a distinct chromosome-specific feel.
This man's bath really feels "Ralph Lauren-y" to me, with it's grey flannel walls and drapery.

But it's ok, b/c I'd be soaking with a glass (i.e. bottle) of wine in a bathroom like Brooke's own (*sigh*)- overlooking trees and feeling a breeze through the plethora of windows....

Can we please discuss the mind-blowing gorgeousness of this Moroccan window shaped glass tile Edgewater just e-mailed me?
I mean, it's like not even FAIR to all the other tiles of the world- they must all feel so bummed when this tile walks in the room lookin' THIS good.

Filed away for a kitchen back splash paired with Carerra marble countertops and grey cabinetry with sleek nickel hardware!!!!

In searching high and low for another version (i.e. cheaper) of Waterworks' Candide bathtub I came across The Albion Bath Co. in England. They have some of the most gorgeous bathtubs I've ever seen, including the adorable short tub with burnished pewter exterior as seen in my favorite visual candy movie "The Holiday"!!! It's called "The Tubby" and I love it!!!

The following plumbing fixtures are virtual gifts to Erika, since I know how much she loves some good ol' antique plumbing!
