Master Bathroom Ideas
So I found a really pretty roll of black & off white toile wall paper at the flea market today. 5 euros - love it. I think it might be enough to do my master bath room. It's not the pattern above, but very similar. A very small sophisticated, not too cheesy pattern.
So with this as my muse I'm thinking about my pink & grey tile bathroom. I wonder, I have this 3x5 deep red & navy & salmon & black Oriental rug. Maybe in front of the sink vanity area this might take away some of that overdone French country feel of toile?
Further, since I am removing the door that connects this bathroom with the hall and replacing it with a floor length mirror, I think I'll have room for a piece of furniture. Do you remember that shoe hutch that I used to have in Vanderbilt right behind my front door? It's pretty thin and would be very functional & pretty there. I love furniture in a bathroom.
Also, I have this great chandelier! This is so so pretty in real life and I think that along with a lamp on the vanity, that might be just enough lighting. I'll take down the floral little chandelier I had hanging over the vanity.
What about taking down the big original, oddly shaped mirror and replacing it with something smaller and framed? Since I'm wall papering, any damage to the wall would be hidden.
And I'm thinking I could maybe use some white linen duvet covers for the shower curtain? They already have the button holes that could be repurposed for the shower curtain rings. What do you think??? If there were say four of them it might look quite full & pretty.
I am getting so excited about all of this. I think I'll pack the roll of wall paper in my luggage so I can get started on this right away. Can you wall paper? I talked to my carpenter and he starts work cutting the door way to the second floor the Monday after we arrive. : )
to refresh your memory : )

Have you thought about painting the tile? I've never done it, so I can't offer any words of wisdom.
I love the crystal light fixture in the bath and you could reuse the other one upstairs (over the kitchen sink maybe?)
I think you would have to put all the things in there (rug, wall paper, etc) and decide if it will work.
Instead of a duvet, Target has a great waffle weave shower curtain that might fit better. A queen duvet will be about 84" long--you might need to cut and sew or raise your rod.
