| Oceanna, those are fabulous. I only found inspiration in a few. Some are really far out. The one that creeped me out was the one with the open slate wall. Eeeww, bugs and stuff crawling in. I don't think so. HA! HA! My favorite was the huge one with tall coved ceiling that had the white drape across the entire width of the tub. Fabulous!! Do you by any chance remember where you acquired the one with all the fish on the walls? I would love to send that to my friend Boots who lives, breaths and sleeps with fish!! Thanks for taking the time to post them, they are great. I can't wait till mine are part of the gallery. Oh, the one thing I did realize and my DH will not be happy to hear this, is, I want to paper the top half of my master bath. Hurry, get the guest room ready, I'll be needing it when I tell him. LOL That may fly and it may not, we'll see!! |
|
| Brutuses, I'm sorry, I got that fish one a long time ago and I have no idea where. But you can still send it to your friend. You are doing so much great research for your new home that I just know it's going to be fabulous! So why do you have to tell DH? Just paper it yourself and then tell him you did. It's not hard to do at all. And just for the top half of a bathroom it shouldn't be expensive either. Your bathroom isn't HUGE, is it? You're welcome in my guest bedroom, but right now it's the catch all for the whole house and I can't even find the bed so I'll put your grand de-clutter and organizational skills to work if you come! lol |

| Yes, the bathroom is huge, for a bathroom. Well, at least to me. It has double vanities on one wall a whirlpool in one corner, a walk-in shower that takes up another wall and the toilet between the vanities and whirlpool. It's L-shaped so it's difficult to give a size. I have a friend who is in architect school who is going to put my floor plan into an easy computer program for me so I can access it, post it, send it around, etc. Then I can show people the floor plan, finally. I think I'll pass on the papering. It's 10' ceilings and would cost a pretty penny to do. We have so many other things we need and can do without the paper. I'm just dreaming out loud. I've already spent a small fortune just on the light fixtures for the master bath, much more than I should have, but they were the first ones I saw and I fell in love with them and so I bought them. HA! I've posted a link to the fixtures. It's the chandelier pictured that will go in the center of the room and then there will be 2 of the single sconces on each wall flanking the vanities and one double between the mirrors. I also couldn't resist the double sconce with the two black shades. I bought that one to put in between the two front windows of the office. If you go down the page you'll see the entire Roxbury collection. I have some really pretty sconces for the guest bath, but unfortunately can't post a photo because they were discontinued shortly after I bought them so I can't find any pictured. I may have an e-mail to myself. I'll have to check. The master is going to be a mix of modern (the light fixtures) with the old (the marble and black vanities), the wainscoting on some of the wall and sub way on shower enclosure. Still undecided on the floor. May go with the black and white hex and be done with it. Should prove interesting when I get finished with it. LOL The guest bathoom is old all the way with my antique dresser, antique looking sconces, toile curtains, wainscoting, and hex flooring. Of course if you pull back the shower curtain you'll see a modern tub with surround (just don't look). HA! HA! With all the thought I'm putting into this house I sure hope I can make it look nice and be comfortable as well as welcoming to visitors. |

| Wow that's a pretty chandelier! I'm sure your house is going to be just gorgeous. You're sure working hard on it. I can't wait to see the pictures. Did you like any of the pictures here? Thanks for enjoying these threads and letting me know. I don't know if anyone else is seeing them. |
|
| oceanna, Thank you for posting all of those. I couldn't believe it but I stumbled across my favorite bath ever in your gallery. I had cut it out of a magazine years ago and was happily surprised to see it there - had never seen the digital image of it....stunning!! |

| from my inspiration pics...

|
| Mcfromct, oh I see you posted pics here too. Hooray! I'm so glad I could post the one you love. I agree, those windows are to swoon over. I like all the ones you posted too. The two that hit me right off are the one with the yellow and green stripes -- very eyecatching, and the one with the seashell pics that looks so clean and crisp. Thanks! I hope more people will follow you and post some more pics. I can never get enough! |

| Lots of beautiful baths. You are so nice to post these beautifuls rooms . This is the only one I had saved.
|
|
| Just another reply of gratitude. thanks so much, oceanna...these were/are wonderful to view! Love-my-home...that one is one I love, too. So many great inspiration pics. Thanks again for sharing these with all of us. |
|
| Oceanna, you have just saved me a small fortune in design magazines. Your posts are mind boggling. My home is going to be so much more attractive because of your work! I could never come up with ideas like these in a million years - but I can sure copy them. |
|
| Love My -- yeah, that's the second one I posted. I really like it too, but my baths are nowhere near that size. It would be fun to take ideas from it though. Leahcate -- oh I'm so glad you're enjoying them! You're very welcome. Janwad -- My pleasure! At least with this "stack of magazines" we don't need storage space in our homes. :-) I've got so many favorite pictures here it's hard to choose. I like that I can look at the pics when I'm wondering about draperies, how to decorate a coffee table, colors, the best size for nightstands, or to answer dozens of other questions. That's why so many of us have saved magazines -- you can always see something new in the pictures by looking with new questions in mind. |

| I love them all but my bathroon reno will be very plain compared to those. Don't know if i should post a picture of it... |

| Clair, I dunno... up to you to decide if your bath would be a design inspiration to others or not. Sooner, nice baths. Not too decorated, but nice. |

| Can anyone take a wild stab at the colors in the fourth picture down in Oceanna's original post? I love that color combo and would like to replicate it in my bathroom. |
|
| What a great collection of bathrooms--thank you so much for posting. I'm actually pursuing the cabinet and countertop shown in picture 105 for my small guest bath. Any chance you or anyone else actually knows who's bathroom that is? Would love to ask a few questions. In the event that it's not identifiable, I wonder if anyone can comment on what's plaguing me. I love the angled cabinet and I also love the way the countertop extends beyond the cabinet. I only have 27" to work with and I'm wondering if, proportionally, the cabinet can be 24" at the top, sloping inward diagonally to 16" or 18" (how narrow can a base be?). That would only leave 1.5" on either side for the countertop extension. I really want to make this work but am not sure that my small space allows it. Any comments? I find this trying-to-visualize-what-will-work process very challenging. Many thanks. |

| Heehee, I'm planning on using the same frieze paper as in the ninth picture on post #2. It's the Marsh Creek Kingfisher Frieze from Carter & Co. Expensive but luckily I don't have a huge bathroom to deal with, I'll only need about four yards. I don't think I saw these pics, two I've lusted for for years: Swiped this one off the Baths forum years ago for the floor pattern, which I'm thinking about putting in the half bath and laundry room using lino tile (and a less contrasty color scheme): These two pictures, scanned from Jane Powell's "Bungalow Bathrooms", were the inspiration for the master bath in my previous house (man, I miss that bathroom), followed by the result: |
|
| Jerseegirl, I've got my SW fandeck here, so here's my wild stab. Below the rail, SW6186 Dried Thyme. Above the rail, SW6120 Believable Buff. Just a guess, but you know monitors. Collage, you're welcome! No clue whose bath that is, sorry. I think you should ask your questions over on the Discussions part of the board, where more folks will see them. You could also try in the bathrooms forum too, and give a link to here or just copy that pic in your posts. To copy the pic, right click, Properties, and sweep copy the url. Put Johnmarie, yikes! At $31 per yard it's a good thing you only need 4 yards. I'll bet it's going to be divine and I can't wait to see your picture of it. Yummm! Good for you for following your dreams and stepping into the extraordinary. Thanks so much for posting those pics. Those are super baths. I'm with you on that floor pattern. I hope that figuring the angle cutting on the edge pieces doesn't drive you bonkers. I guess you can cut a template and mark all the tiles with pencil... that's what I'd do since I use a wet saw, and I do mean wet. Oh wow I love your master bath in your last house! Wow! I can see why you miss it. Are you going to recreate it? That sink is so cute with its sexy little legs. Where did you get that wallpaper? It isn't by any chance B&B is it? What did you do for storage in there? I wonder that every time I see sinks like you posted. |
|
| Collage, sorry my directions got wiped out by the software. Before the picture you put a < and the words img and src and an equals sign. After the url you put a >. The only space in the sequence is between the words img and src. Hope this works. |
|
| Does anyone know the name of the color of the walls in the second picture in the first post? That's the color I want for my bathroom, but there are so many "similar but not quite it" colors that it's driving me nuts trying to find the right color name! |

| Oceanna, I enjoy your posts and want to return the favor by sharing some of my 'saves'. http://www.pbase.com/mrskbg/boudoir_bath |
|
| Bodica -- wow, those are some gorgeous ones, thanks. I love it when we share stashes. Magic -- that's a very pretty bath. You must be so proud of yourself! Thanks for sharing it. Tnpd -- no, sorry. You could print it out and see if they could scan it and match it at the paint or hardware store. 116. 117. 118. 119. 120. 121. 122. |
|
| oceanna, these bathroom piccys are great! I just got permission to paint my tiny apt bathroom, and got a few ideas from you. I hope it was ok to save a couple of piccs. |
|
| Melbelle, oh my yes! Please feel free to save any and all pics you like to your own little folder/s on your computers. That will help you find things, and narrow things down. I'm so glad my posting efforts can help lead some of you to the rooms of your dreams. :-) Here are a few more...

| This was my inspiration!!! It is by Sarah Richardson, The Powder Room. My PR is finished, but is difficult to photograph being such a small bathroom, here is the pic that inspired me :) Christy Here are my pics: The towels are now a nice burgundy. |
Here is a link that might be useful: HGTV link

| Thanks for posting your collection! As someone who is re-doing a powder room at the moment I really appreciate it. In collection #4 about half-way down, there is a toilet enclosed in drapes as though it's an actual throne! PU! Maybe that person should take a step back from decorating and get out of the house more. |
|
| I saw a talavera toilet on here and just had to post a picture of my favorite one. Sorry I don't have a picture of it with the tank. |
|
|
| Wow, thanks everyone for your additions! Love the talevera toilet. Kimmie, you've been doing great. Good to see people still care about at least some of these threads. A few more... |
|
|
| Wondered where you had gone! Now I know. Thanks for all the hours of posting pics. Your time and results are my favorite place on GW. |
|
| Wow, thank you, Emagineer! (Love your name.) You've made my day. You are so sweet, and also very alert since I'd just put these up. It's awfully good to know at least one person still enjoys these threads! :o) |
|
| I didn't know either that my attention was appreciated. Do know how much work this is for you though. I try to direct others to the gallery because you give me so many ideas, even if it is one corner or an object. You made my day finding new pics....there are a lot of people that utilize your work. Probably not as brave as I was hijacking the thread...not a norm for me either. This is my mutual admiration society post. |
|
| Well I'm another who still enjoys these threads! Thanks for your hard work. I always come here for ideas and help. Doing a small powder room right now so here I am! |
|
|
|
| I have this is my guest bathroom. I now have a shelf with yellow and glass accessories, just above the toilet. It looks better now. But, whatever, you get it! It gives a good idea of which friends get my "potty humor." |

| This was fun to look through! Thanks for taking the time to post it. Rachel |
|
| This is the master bath in the home we just had built. I still want to add a few accessories, but I love the colors. The house is kind of "Texasy" with soft desert browns, sage green, and a few muted orange and reds for accents. A majority of the furniture is rustic and I have some Texas stars scattered around. I thought about putting a big picture of an old time cowboy in an old fashioned tub on the windowless wall over the bath tub, but I don't want to get too kitschy. Opinions? Toilet area (and dog. LOL!) |

| Thank you Emagineer for keeping these threads from getting lost! Thanks, Rachel! It's good to know people look at these threads. Bettydee, that's just lovely! You should be very proud of that. Thanks so much forsharing it with us. Here are a few more:
