Design Notations

Sure, blue green and white hues are perfect for bathrooms.  But wouldn’t you rather have a bathroom with drama and makes a bold statement?  Here are some black and white bathroom ideas. They are very easy to achieve but allows for maximum impact.  I think it will be especially great for a powder room.  Go ahead and surprise your guests a little (or a lot).

Not all bathrooms are big enough to have endless counter space.  I came across this image of a bathroom that uses a mirror with a shelf-like edge to store bath products.  It is such a clever way to create shelving space in a smaller bathroom.

I have been eying the Peekaboo coffee table and console from CB2 for a while now; it is perfect with any room style.  It is especially great for smaller spaces or a space with lots of patterns and colors.

I am head over heels in love with these animal prints from The Animal Print Shop by Sharon Montrose.  They have this pure innocent quality, and besides they are just too cute to resist.

Perfect for kid's playroom and nursery

Beautiful in the grown-up rooms too

Maybe it is because of my background in painting but I have always loved to play with colors and bring that unexpected element into the space I design.  I think it is really fun to have a painted staircase; it breathes life and humor into a normally typical staircase.

Stairs with words

...and there are ones with numbers.

Who can resist stripes?
