pretty and nice spaces.

some public. some private. some living. some bathing. some sleeping. some eating. some old. some new.

there are elements in each photo that appeal to me: a diy copper coffee table; a hardwood and marble floor; over-the-top fancy wallpaper; white tiled bathroom with a large, open shower; polished hardwood floors; white cabinets; white bedding; framed art displayed on the floor; cool rugs; brick; ornate mirrors; large windows; exposed beams. 

oooooh, i'd love to spend a day or two in each space. 

i love i want i must have this bathroom--

is this bathroom swoon-worthy or what?! 

swoon: clawfoot tub with a dark base

swoon: leaning full-length mirror

swoon: antique dresser

swoon: rich textured towels

swoon: wall design

swoon: rolling hamper

swoon: large area rugs

swoon: copper towel bar

swoon: frosted glass wall (major swoon!)

i can't imagine having such a spacious bathroom.

a few good rooms and windows.

simply an assortment of room images i've collected over the weeks. all have at least a single aspect that i would like to adopt into my [someday] home. club foot tub? yes please. walls of windows? definitely. mid-century furniture? like you even need to ask.

eclectic victorian remodel.

this space is so eclectic it's making my head spin. i love the panes of glass outlined in black; the industrial light fixtures are fantastic; the chevron floor in the living room is gorgeous.

3 birthday wishes--

can i have this house (drooling over the scalloped shingles) for my birthday with this bathroom (dying to lose an afternoon in that tub) and heart-shaped egg and toast (mmm yummm) for breakfast?

ohmega salvage: i love you.

ohmega salvage is a super cool (and one of my most favourite places to visit) LOCAL 2-store home furnishings hotspot in berkeley. they have clawfoot tubs (drool), incredible light fixtures (ooo awwwh), square tin wall pieces, cabinets, old refurbished doors (incredible), radiators, double-basin porcelain farm sinks (yes, please), bricks, old chairs, and so much more! i was super excited to take my sister during her visit and just roam around the stores sharing a love for old and rad things.

hopefully someday, someday, i'll be able to afford one of their clawfoot tubs or a light fixture, or one of their awesome doors. for now, i go in and walk about, gently running my fingers along edges and staring at amazing square tin wall pieces.

note: if you come visit me, i will most likely drag you to ohmega salvage. it's a treat. if you live within driving distance, find it and visit. you won't be sorry.

room love.

tall windows, tall ceiling, and double barn doors. sunroom. patterned floors. step bed and lanterns. rustic entryways. non-traditional rocking chair and floor lamp.oval tub. orb hanging light fixtures and kitchen farm sink. whitewashed exposed wall beams. checkered floors and striped towels. inviting furniture and an array of pillows.

pretty dreamy bathrooms.

if i had a bathroom as pretty as any of these then i think i'd never leave. i'd soak in a lavender bath all day, sip cucumber water, nibble on hazelnut macarons, and selectively answer my phone and email. est parfait.
