Lucite and Glass Faucet

 

This is one of the prettiest faucets I have seen. It would be a thing of beauty in a Powder or Guest Bathroom. It is made from glass with lucite handles. When the faucet is opened, the water comes out from the bottom and fills the vase up to the rim. A limited edition to bring an air of poetry to the bathroom.

Moroccan Bathroom Inspiration

Maryam and her Husband in Marrakesh have recently purchased an olive orchard and are in the process of building a guest house on it named Peacock Pavilions. This project is a labour of love and is not without it's trials and tribulations for them. But nothing that is of value is free from this fault. There are to be 12 bathroom in all. No small feat. So if I can be of any help Maryam here is a little inspiration for those bathrooms of yours.

Let's not forget about the toilet. Funny how these are conveniently never shown in photographs. This is by far the best designed toilet on the market.

Mural in Men's Restroom

This is hilarious. I love the New Zealand sense of humour. A men's restroom at Sofitel (5 star hotel, operated by Accor Hotels) in Queenstown, New Zealand. Here is a news article about it and a tv news story.

Turquoise Bliss

What girl doesn't love this little turquoise box?

Florence Broadhurst wallpaper

Who inspired who? The color for the Tiffany box and the Florence Broadhurst wallpaper look almost identical. I have recently been reading the book: FlorenceBroahurst - Her Secret & Extraordinary Lives. She has quite a few designs in turquoise for her wallpapers that were designed in the 60's & 70's. I like that this color is once again fashionable and is being used in interiors.

Refreshing and Sophisticated: A mix of blue and green, turquoise has a sweet feminine feel while the darker teal shades add lively sophistication. Some shades of turquoise have an old-fashioned 50s and 60s retro feel. Turquoise has the same calming effects as the mixture blue and green it is comprised of .

Culture of Turquoise: This in-between color represents water, thus the names aqua and aquamarine. It's also a valuable and popular mineral often turned into jewelry. Turquoise is closely associated with the Middle East and the American Southwest.

I like the effective use of painted stripes flowing from the wall across the ceiling.

10 Things I Love in my Bathroom

Pampering for me starts first thing in the morning. I like to have few things, but the necessities that I have need to be the best. I love the quote by Gucci "Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten". Case in point being my Pratesi towels. Just about broke the bank, but I have used them daily for several years and they are still like brand new, and I love them every single day. Fine Egyptian cotton gets better with use. I don't have a lot of time to get myself together in the mornings. My day usually starts @ 6:00 AM with a work out with my personal trainer. I have tried to do it on my own but it is too easy when the alarm rings to make an excuse - like I'll do it tomorrow - and roll over and go back to sleep. So I pay my trainer in advance and if I miss a morning I forfeit the fee. Good Incentive. My make-up and hair regime has been tailored down to a fine science.

I love the scent and can't start the day without it. The fragrance lasts and lasts.

I have often been asked hours after I have put it on, what the fragrance is that I am wearing.

Bobbi Brown Long wear gel eye liner lasts all day and is water resistant

KissMe Mascara This revolutionary cream mascara from Japan encases your lashes in tubes of color which plump and lengthen your lashes. (It gets even better!) The tubes create a water-proof, smudge-proof seal. To remove, the combination of water and pressure pop off the tubes clean from your lashes
