Until my decorating budget allows otherwise, I’m doing some virtual decorating. And I’m starting with the bathrooms in my house. The pages of AH&L are loaded with inspirational images but there are three that I find particularly dreamy.
The first one was designed by Amy Morris and, not surprisingly, was a winner in our 2009 Bath Contest. From the moment I laid eyes on it, I’ve been obsessed with adding a fabulous mirror and chandelier to my own master bath. Amy found this 19th-century French mirror at Foxglove Antiques and the chandelier at Edgar-Reeves. So, when the time comes, guess where I’ll be starting my search for the perfect pieces?
Next on my wish list is a bathroom like the one in architect Keith Summerour’s Meriwether county residence. A soaking tub flanked by soft lighting, the rug underfoot, a spectacular view–this is my idea of the perfect bath in a country retreat. (Just one small detail: I’ll have to buy my place in the country first.)
Last but not least, I’d replicate the powder room Mimi Williams created in her Highlands getaway in a heartbeat. I love her expect-the-unexpected design point of view. What’s more, I’m a big advocate of decorating with personal style and this mirror made of wine barrel staves is, if you’ll pardon the pun, a reflection of my appreciation for fine wine.
These are just a few of my faves. What are some of the AH&L baths you’ve liked best?
