We’ve made the decision to makeover our bathroom so now comes the fun part—dreaming of what it might be. But where to start? I had a few (thousand) ideas in my mind and many things to think about: the “feel” of the space, the color, the finishes, the textures and shapes. Let’s face it: it’s a lot!
I started by looking back at the gorgeous baths we’ve featured in CTC&G. I started to rip out pages that I liked and created “The File.” Into it went pictures of fixtures that I liked from catalogs and press releases. But that was only the beginning, I visited the Instagram accounts of designers I admired. I looked at my images from big industry shows like KBIS and Eurocucina. I looked at photos from homes that I had scouted.
I was not alone in looking; both my husband and daughter looked and shared what they liked. And the inspiration came from many places. Sometimes it was a picture of a great dress in a fabulous color; other times it was an image in our countless art books in the living room; or maybe it was a picture from our travels. After a week or so we had so many ideas that my eyes glazed over. So I did what I do best: edit and look for common threads — and toss the rest!
