Baths

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.)

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.

Amy Morris Bath

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?

Summerour Bath 

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.) 

Williams Powder Room 

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?
