Blue and White Bathroom

Varying shades of blue and white freshen up a traditional color scheme in a country bath.




Flea Market Finds

Painted metal letters from a flea market send a sweet message.




Furnished Bath

Real furniture gives you many more options than a typical vanity. This spacious master bath is furnished with a graceful bureau-turned-double-vanity, an elegant mirror, and a foyer-worthy chandelier and sconces.




Patchwork Tile

A highly practical surface of the bath, tile adds color, pattern, and texture in hundreds of beautiful ways. Like a patchwork quilt, remainder, sample, and sale tiles were "patched" together to cover the walls of a shower stall for an affordable route to a knockout custom look.




Stained Glass Windows

The stained glass window came from the homeowner's previous house and provides both privacy and a dash of color.




Rustic Bathroom

Natural wood, rugged plaster walls, and antique furnishings adapted for the bath conjure the ambience of a Tuscan farmhouse and also offer a way to minimize the appearance of fixtures.




DIY Vanity

Beadboard paneling, vintage-inspired sconces, and soapstone countertop exemplify the room's country style. Fashion a mirror from an old frame picked up at a church sale for $1.50.




Terry Cloth Armchair

A brocade chair won't do in the bathroom, so why not slipcover an old chair with terry cloth? It'll make for a cozy sitting spot after a shower or bath.



Radiant Light

"The room gets amazing light throughout the day," notes the owners, who feel the white and soft gray palette makes it even more radiant. To reinforce the country theme, natural elements, such as fern wall art and a wood table, were added.
