Bathrooms...trends

I wish I could say I did this bathroom, but it was one I toured while at a Parade of Homes in Austin, taken by me three years ago. Thus far, every photo I've posted was of a home I did, usually, a Parade Home, and I will always tell you if it was by someone else. That said, this is a wonderful bathroom...however, the trends are changing a bit, in that other than the five million dollar home above, more modest homes are getting away from the giant tubs, and putting more money into all kinds of walk in showers...with every bell, whistle, shower head, jet sprays, etc.

I love this bathroom...I love natural stone, tile, and the wonderful ambiance - when I grow up and marry a millionaire, I'm going to have a bathroom like this.....

P.S. Did you know????


Okay, I'm a novice on the computer, I'll admit, but one thing I love about the blog photos, is you can double click on them, and they become HUGE!! Fun to see the details....

Many of you are saying, "well, yeah???".

Old dog learned a new trick...

Powder Rooms and Bathrooms


I believe that powder rooms should be like little jewel boxes; elegant, a bit quirky..chandeliers are elegant. I like vanities to be furniture, and lots of glow going on. Because they are small, one can splurge a bit, on more expensive wall coverings, or gold leafing, or pretty fixtures....


I like them to be a surprise to guests....it brings a smile to their faces, and women especially love putting on their lipstick and primping in such lovely surroundings.


These are a few of the "elegant ones"....later, I will show some of the more quirky ones.


Have fun with your home....especially, your powder room.
