my new house: master bathroom idea board

the flooring is still undecided....i would LOVE to put in a double herringbone floor, but that may change. we may end up doing a basket weave pattern or even just laying larger tiles at an angle. we are doing all of the tile installation ourselves, and laying the hardwood has been a KILLER, so it all depends on how much time and money and ENERGY we have left. if we did opt to do a pattern tile, we will most likely but the grecian white 12 x 12 tiles from home depot and then cut them down ourselves. (which means a LOT of labor.)

i am really excited about the pattern on the shower floor! i am planning on the shower being a simple white marble tile, and i want something more bold on the floor. i looked at doing all kinds of patterns, and when i found the inspiration picture of the above pattern, i fell in LOVE. i also love that all of the materials can be purchased at my local hardware store, which means we can keep the cost low.

i ordered this light from restoration hardware, and it will be installed over the toilet. a little unorthodox, but i think it will look really fun and give some soft light.

i would LOVE, love to put this "lily" by cole and son wallpaper in the toilet closet:

but that may not happen for a while. 

i have met with the cabinet fabricator, and he has some drawings of what the vanity will look like...i will be sharing more details later in the week. (IF i have energy after we finish the hardwood floors! we are 80% done right now, and should finish everything but the powder room and mini-office tonight!)
