dreamy dreamy bathrooms

I have begun a quick project in my master bath.. again, an interim step... Just some paint and fabrics to spruce the place up until I can do the full blown restoration with a clawfoot tub, hex tile, highboy toilet, etc etc etc.

Until then, I will daydream. Here are some nice bathrooms to sigh about. Bring on the bubble bath! Look at the ceiling in the one above... perfect! And the shaving mirror is something I definitely want to do.
The walls in this bathroom remind me of my bedroom... only I have painted my walls the palest pink (which is pictured in my master bedroom thread). I also think that little plant stand would be so cute if it had a few little apothecary jars on it. Wouldn't it pop with pink or aqua jars? But this all white bathroom is dreamy as it is... I dream of clawfoot tubs. And there is so much texture here even with a monochromatic look.

This one has a bit more color, although still a cool and light look. I love the pale gray walls, the beigey subway tile... and the little distressed cabinet is great. I wish my bathroom were big enough for a chair. (When I told Steven that, he jokingly said it DOES have a chair. I don't think the toilet counts!)
I love the black legs on the tub. And the littlest splashes of floral make it seem a bit more liveable. Don't get me wrong, I love that all-white look. It isn't at all sterile to me... but it seems like it would be a pain to keep spotless. And with white, it really does have to be spotless.

A paneled side tub... not claw foot, but pretty! And the floral wallpaper is beautiful. I have to wonder how it holds up with humidity since I love scathing hot showers that fog everything up.
Look at the feet on the tub! Gorgeous!! Although it is white, it has the palest pink look, doesn't it? I also love the fixture - I must have a shower for mine, but the handshower is darling.
Not everything is pink for me, OK? Here is one with blue toile. Again, a gorgeous chair! And can you imagine the luxury of a fireplace in your bathroom??? My bathroom right now is frigid. Really. Glassblock is not a good window in the Kansas winter. Brrrrrr!

I love the "relax" over the tub. I think if it had a huge fluffy flokati rug in front of the tub, I would melt into the room. It is so pretty. Maybe a bit sparse.

Wild wallpaper!! I wouldn't do it in my house -- but it is amazing!

I love the armoire... so charming! Again, I need a huge bathroom. Mine is tiny! My house is a Sunday house, so it certainly was not built extravagently with huge baths.

OK... washbasin? gorgeous. basin stand? gorgeous. beadboard? gorgeous.


Again, I love those handshowers... And the palest pink look to the tub. Just lovely.
Did you get any ideas for your space?
