(below pic) This is the true reason I chose this color….a painting by my husband’s great-grandmother. Its a lovely print, and the match could not have been better.
(below pic) ….and this is the new travertine tile. The grout color is called Mushroom. I purposely chose a darker contrasting color. The outer edge of the room is bordered with a mosaic-style travertine in a darker coffee color. I love how this turned out.
(below pic) This is the color scheme I am strongly considering. The sage houndstooth print is a wallpaper. Keep in mind I am having crisp, white wainscoting and chair rail installed. The botanical would be sewn into a valance with the red print as a border at the bottom. I would also dress up some toweks by adding a band of the red at the bottom of some white towels. And of course, there would be some fantastic fringe. Me loves trim! 🙂
So…..I thought about calling my state Senator to see if my bathroom qualified for some of that bailout money. I mean – this is a personal “crisis.” I will keep you posted. In the meantime…
Some eye candy…

Barb, you are sooooo right…200 bucks ain’t gonna happen! Not for me, anyway. Don’t tell my hubby, though. He’s loving the challenge, and he thinks I can stick to the budget. He can be such a silly man sometimes!!!

Can I just build a home from scratch with about 15 bathrooms in it? I would need that many to satisfy my sweet tooth!
