{ Blue, White...and Red? }



This is a bit of a peak into our bathroom {or what I would like to do to our bathroom...}. The tiles are existing and can't be changed, which used to make me sad but I have learnt to embrace them. I would love a French-inspired bathroom but have decided that the blue tiles and white vanity are going to be my friends. My Le Bain hook I have at the ready to go into my French bathroom one day, do you think it would still work with my blue and white? It is a cream colour...be brutal, tell me if you think I just need to pop it back into storage :(

The vases are by Samantha Robinson {who has been one of my Tuesday's Object of Desire before } She also has smaller porcelain pieces which I would like to use as a toothbrush holder/catch all.
The white round bath mat is from Ikea - keeping with the theme of the round mirror
Blue towel is from Bed Bath and Beyond
Red towel is from Ikea
Soap dispenser is from U.S Target.

Storage is a massive issue in our teeny tiny cottage, but I believe that the bathroom holds the key! It is big enough to hold a bath, and yet doesn't, just a shower with a space beside the toilet. So, a storage cupboard such as the Flaren from Ikea would be great, or just a big ol' pantry style like this one from Fantastic Furniture to act as a linen press.

I have long wanted the two geese photos from Sharon Montrose - and think they are a comical addition to bathroom art. The vintage ladies sign is from etsy seller Sadie Olive and has unfortunately sold. I need to be quicker! The dotty frosted glass is from Frost & Co . We have a window between the laundry and bathroom, but I am yet to determine if frosted film will work on the type of glass we have...

And how about that splash of red? I originally had a fully blown red, white and blue theme happening but have scaled it back to just a splash. Now I'm thinking just a blue and white bathroom would be much more classic, and I seem to be seeing them everywhere now...

What do you think of my bathroom musings? Do you have a similar vision for your bathroom? Your bedroom? Your laundry? Have you seen Viv's laundry makeover progress over at Ish and Chi ? Oh. My. Goodness. Awesome + Acheivable = Emma-likey!

Why can't you change the tiles?
Have you looked into White Knight Tile Paint?
It's AMAZING

Nicky - we don't own the house so can't change anything like that. I did look at the White Knight tile paint though when I had the delusion of painting everything white. Thanks anyway!
