Room by Room: The Lav.

I thought I'd share pictures of my new house, room by room, and share some thoughts as we unpack and decorate.  Let's start with the bathroom - a room I initially had a lot of mixed feelings about: loved the old cabinet and the pedestal sink - it's the perfect scale for the room, but hated the overwhelming white tile.  It's amazing how a good shower curtain can make all the difference in the world.  

White, white, white.  I'm still not nutso for all that mis-matched white tile, especially since the floor tiles are so worn that they never look clean, but I have to admit, adding a white shower curtain made me really really happy with this space.  Pretty towels also helped a lot:

In the short term, I'd like a new lighting fixture and like the whole house, these walls desperately need repainting.  Long term, I dream of updating the other fixtures, re-tiling, and changing the faucets.  

And a little P.S. for those long-term dreams: Health Tiles.   Mmmm, these blue-gray tiles make me swoon.  I love that the glaze has some subtle variation.  It's the same effect I love out of somewhat-solid yarns: elegant use of color.

Nice to hear from you again! I do love those bluey-greeny-greyish tiles, too. In the meantime, though, paint is easy and cheap. New faucets are also pretty easy and not too expensive, and can really add a lot to a bathroom. It's so much fun to make plans and little changes!
