Baths

This week is AH&L’s annual contest judging for the “Bath of the Year” competition. With this year’s record number of entries I’m excited to see what emerging trends entrants have incorporated into their designs. But I’m also hoping that my favorite classic oversized accessory—a towering floor mirror—has made it into a few of the baths. Especially if it’s placed behind a dreamy bathtub. swoon. Here are a few of my favorite examples…

All of the mirrors serve as stunning focal points, but beyond just their beauty, large mirrors in typically smaller spaces such as baths can visually expand the area. Another thing to note in first two pictures is the use of furniture that looks like it’s been lifted from a bedroom or living room, bringing with it a sense of warmth and coziness.

Last Friday, I joined my parents at Speciality Tile Products, Inc. in Norcross to finalize tile selection for their new home. I never knew how daunting this could actually be. After four long hours we were finally done (with just the bathrooms!), and I walked away with snapshots of some great selections.


I have an affinity towards anything with peacock feathers, so I was thrilled when my mother chose these pieces for the powder room.


The floor of the powder room is going to feature the darker “Horn” tile by Rex Ceramiche. This photo doesn’t do this unique porcelain tile justice. The tiles are made to imitate the grain and textures of animal horns.


One of the baths is going to feature this beautiful glass tile. Absolutely gorgeous in person!

Next up is choosing backsplash tile for the kitchen. Do you have any recommendations? (It must withstand my foodie mom’s colorful, exotic spices.)
