The Coolest Bathroom EVER

Thursday, May 2nd, 2013

…and it’s not even done yet.  If you want to lose an hour or two of your life then click on over to Gianetti Design’s blog to follow the progress of their truly UNBELIEVABLE new home Patina Farm.  It both inspires immensely and makes you feel really, really poor. At least that’s what it does to me.

I’ve been lurking on their site for years but this bathroom just knocked my socks off. I mean, LOOK at this shower/tub situation!

I can’t….even….

WHY did I not do unlacquered brass everywhere? Now we know what my master bath fixtures will look like at least….

The sketch so you can see the overall plan.  I might feel a BIT vulnerable in a shower like that but then I’d do an unflattering shower cartwheel because LOOK AT THAT THING.

Not to mention the other details of the house like all the iron framed doors and windows like this one in the kitchen….oh and do you even see that stove? That stove is probably more than my car. And I have a nice car. I feel I should bow down in front of it.

All the vintage door and beams? yeah, no biggie, right?

This is the “chicken coop kitchen”. Yup. First time in my life I have ever wished I was a chicken.

The guest house is just icing on this insane cake.

And the view of Ojai, California.  Oh the view.

Clawing at My Heart

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

Whenever I walk into a bathroom and there is a claw foot tub in it I pretty much lose my mind. What a perfect pair of Manolos are to some women, claw foot tubs are to me. One of my goals in life is to have my very own someday. Especially one painted black on the outside. Do you need some photographic evidence? I thought so…

I can’t even begin to deal with those brass plumbing fixtures. It’s too good.

This is about to happen… prepare yourselves.

Me and Mr. Bubbles need a date here.

And here.

Say WHAT?

I feel like this was set up just for me- white subway with dark grout? Check. Tub? Check. Rosemary (favorite smell)? Check. Mini tile floor with a sheepskin rug? Check. Only thing missing is me!

That gallery wall is redonk. So are those shutters.

DRAMA, my favorite (just ask Andrew)

I’m way into this whole bath reno- from the floor to the wall color. Check it out here!

My studiomate Jennifer told me about this place New England Demolition and Salvage that I must go to. Why, you ask? Because it looks like this!

Can you not see me skipping deliriously through the rows and rows of vintage tubs? This is what heaven must look like!

Random Goodness.

Sometimes it’s hard to put together a cohesive post. So today I’m going to fill you in on the randomness swimming around in my brain:

Tommy Smythe’s closet is actually IKEA! Shows what paint and some kick ass hardware can do for a space.

When I saw these insanely cute pet pods I couldn’t stop thinking about Cadbury Mini Eggs, my kryptonite and the crack cocaine of candy.

Baxter would straight up KILL for one.

Oh my God, that makes me hungry. And I bet those bad boys are on sale now post Easter! :)

This font, Vermandois is BANANAS good. I love me a good handwritten font. This is the best I’ve seen to date!

This custom silhouette return address stamp is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

A cheaper, daintier alternative to the amazing Hicks pendant seen all over the design world…

I’ve been seriously parched this season. My skin, that is. I feel like I need to re-apply moisturizer right after I’ve just finished applying it. Annoying. So I finally caved and went back to the only one that actually works all day.  Hype usually falls flat, but not in La Mer’s case.

Just ordered one of Rikshaw Designs kurtas for summer. I love them paired with skinny bright colored denim. Easy peasy.

This double vanity is sleek, pretty and CHEAP- under $400!!!

LOVING this adorable animal wallpaper for a child’s room!
