I love the design of all these bathrooms. They range from decadent with slabs of marble and huge windows, to simple white mosaic tiles. I love the clean lines, gorgeous baskets and the black hex floor.
I've also got a thing for these bathrooms, the details are pretty incredible!

I love fabrics and in my job I get to see some beautiful options. I love putting together patterns and there are endless colours, styles and patterns – so it's a fun part of my day when I get to start putting together ideas for a client. I'm enjoying the Global trend in fabrics, these tend to have an artisan feel – like a hand-woven look – in distinct colours and patterns. Here are a few from Kravet that show this look (which we sell). I'd envision fabrics like these made in toss pillows on a neutral linen sofa. They also happen to have a touch of the 2015 Pantone colour – Marsala.
I've noticed a few kitchens with really beautiful, oversized black ranges and range hoods. They create a definitely focal point in a kitchen especially when they're in a kitchen with white cabinets or counters. I find they look striking and create a distinct style and the black range hood is a statement. Here are a few of my favourite looks. Often they are made by Viking, Bertazzoni and a few other brands. Love the shot of this actress in her gown cooking. I like the black and brass combination.
A more traditional kitchen.
It can also suit a much more modern kitchen.

In a past renovation I gave this entry a full makeover. Here is the before picture from another angle (coming in the front door).
This was one I did myself, so I spent a couple weeks one summer lifting the old floor, removing the wallpaper (the walls and border are paper), taking down the blinds and getting a new light fixture. The floors in here were a pain to remove, there was carpet over old vinyl that had been cemented down. For such a small space most of my time was spent removing the old vinyl floor. Finally I removed the vinyl and discovered the original wood floors underneath. They were in rough shape but nothing a coat of paint couldn't fix.
Here is another look at the corner of the room from the living room, which shows a similar angle to the after picture.
I gave the floors a coat of black paint and the walls, trim and ceiling in white. Some simple decor (and big hooks on the wall you can't see from here). A sisal rug, big mirror framed in black and small table (that I painted flat black) made all the difference. And here are the results:
Pedestal sinks might not be great for storage, but they make up for it in charm and character. I was happy I could re-use the original pedestal sink in my renovated and relocated bathroom (above). This one is quite old and very large, which makes it even more unique. Here are a couple of other bathrooms with pedestal sinks that also show where you can add some storage. You can add a large medicine cabinet on the wall, or even a bureau for all your storage requirements.
Storage on the wall.
Adding a dresser for more storage.
Or even a small shelf over the sink.
