Quick update from earlier post here.

Fully functional…but still on lookout for a few extra “found” pieces. Might bow to wisdom of glass shower enclosure…but loving the gauzy linen shower curtain for now. Removed standard counter to ceiling mirror to replace with something…different. As I said…”found”. So still looking. Venetian mirror stays…love it just propped on counter between sinks. Tried dark gray on cabinets, but redid in creamy white to allow me to change my color palate on a whim. So, as usual, to be continued….

Bath remodel, Carrara marble, marble mosaics

Inspiration bath

The inspirational images files are open…

dreams and ideas confronting reality…

Trouvais bathrm

Materials are gathered or ordered…

or very nearly fetched…

Carrara marble honed subway and brushed mosaic…

with bits of gray stone left over from my son’s bathroom…

Inspiration photo

The tub…sigh…will just have to wait

until we bump that side of the house out…

This is the sort of tub that really requires

it’s own little wing…

Restoration Hardware shower plumbing

Should I or shouldn’t I?

Might just have to pass this beauty up…

Restoration Hardware…

I can be quite frugal sometimes…

Gray and marble in baths

A favorite Restoration Hardware image…

Love the frosty whites and grays…

Venetian mirror Turkish marble sink

Venetian mirror and Turkish marble sink are staying…

The sink perfect for rolls of Turkish towels…

Imagining the mirror slightly higher…hung from chains…

Still love those three hooks for my linen chemises…

Counter replaced by a gray honed limestone or soapstone…

Since this part will be done by a stone fabricator, I have

the luxury of making the decision later.

Trouvais French antique chair

Will try to sneak in a bit of black….

Venetian lanterns

And gray….

My husband is not keen on the idea of

bumping his head on a Venetian lantern

hanging in the middle of the bathroom…

But wouldn’t one of these be lovely?

Windsor Smith entry (House Beautiful)…

Feeling my way through this project…

And the guys with hammers are showing up on Monday…

What could go wrong?

Always love the challenge of creating the most positive affect with the least

amount of time and money. Wish me luck! And thanks Jermaine of French Kissed

and esteemed commenter Home Before Dark for all your behind the scenes hot tips!

Would love to hear everyone’s hot tips…and since it’s so close to Halloween…

feel free to share your horror stories!
