A Hopeful Project for 2011

We are hoping to begin a new home project in the Spring. It looks as though the time is right for renovating our downstairs bathroom.

I have found some of the most inspiring bathroom photos, however, these rooms seem to be quite large...bigger-than-our-master-bedroom...large. Our bathroom is tiny. TINY. I'm sure many of you have closets bigger than our bathroom. It's maybe 6 foot by 7 foot?

Seriously. Our house was built in 1933 so I guess bathrooms back then were not the big relaxing spaces you see today. More like get in, do your business & get out kind of spaces! :-D

Here are some photos that I love...









Wait a minute!

I think I'm seeing a pattern here. If nothing else, these photos show that I love wainscoting & pedestal sinks. How strange. I never realized how similar these photos were while I was collecting them until now. Hmmmm. I guess I know where to start.

    You know what you like! I would love to renovate our bathrooms. I really *heart* the fifth bathroom. Those floors, the storage, the pedestal sink, tub......*le sigh*.........

    You've chosen some lovely bathrooms as inspiration, I'd be happy with any of those! I might have to get Spencer to have a look at this post and hope he get the hint!
