I love the idea of the curtain divider….very ethereal.
Forgive me. This week’s posting was to have been of my Halloween/Fall outdoor decorations. But I am feeling a bit under the weather and I wasn’t able to take pictures, so I thought I would share my cottage bathroom look book with you for my upcoming renovations.
The bathroom is not an existing bathroom, but rather an existing space. Upstairs, I have a large stair landing area. Not large enough to be a bedroom, but plenty large enough to fit a small bathroom with room leftover to serve as a pass through to the upstairs bedroom.
The bathroom will have a walk-in shower, a vanity and toilet. The vanity will be an antique table I acquired months ago and will be modified to fit a bowl sink. Simple white subway tiles for the shower, white octagonal tiles for the floor and wood planking every where else. The rule of thumb as throughout the rest of the house will be the same for the bathroom: simple, unpretentious and soft white tones and natural textures.
One finishing touch will be a pair of French, ornate cream and green wall sconces I found in an antique store years ago. I fell in love with them and bought them without a clue as to where I was going to put them. I think they will look perfect flanking an old, white painted mirror that I am sure I will find at some point in my weekly antiquing haunts.
I hope you find some inspiration.
Always.

Love these old photos.
A lovely footed bath.
Love the antique pine table with the crisp white bowl sinks.
I always think being able to see the pitch in a roof makes a room feel tucked away and cozy.
I won’t have room for this in my new cottage bathroom…but I love it anyway.
It’s doubtful I will have room for double vanities…but I love this look.
This bathroom probably best emulates the size, shape and space of my bathroom…down to the pitch in the roof.
Although doubtful, I will have room for a full sized armoire…but this is lovely.
More contemporary than is my style, but I think this room blends old and new very well.
I like the neutrality of this bathroom. The décor is probably more ornate than is my own style.
I love the old fixtures in an old home. Doors, floors and windows. Nothing opens like an old window with weights in the wall or swings like an old wood door. Just perfect!
