Agate Wall (Art)

I recently saw this picture of a bathroom by DKOR Interiors, and I think it is absolutely stunning!

The visual impact of the blue agate wall is so striking, especially paired with the minimalism of the rest of the white and brown bathroom. I love the mix of sleek modern furnishings and the natural elements of the agate and wood floor and walls. The agate wall is an Alex Turco waterproof art panel, that is specifically designed for spaces in contact with water, and any area exposed to extreme weather conditions, including outdoors. So amazing!

Here are two more Alex Turco waterproof art panels that I think are simply beautiful!

If you like the look, but an Alex Turco art panel is not feasible, you could easily make your own agate art panel! You could get a large scale poster of agate, like this print from Fine Art America:

or simply paper, such as these marbled papers from imagiart:

and frame it (as is or blow it up bigger) in an acrylic frame like these from Bumblejax, to achieve that seamless look, it would be simply beautiful!

Also, check out these amazing agate photos from Captain Tenneal, a ‘Rocktographer’.

ps -  I don't recommend putting your DIY agate art panel inside your shower or outside in the elements. 

A view from my window - Yellow and Gray

Inspiration can come from just about anywhere, even a yellow warbler! This picture was taken by my dad on a recent trip to the Galapagos Islands!

The yellow and gray color scheme seems to be everywhere these days, perhaps because it is such a nice mix of an interesting neutral (gray) with a bright pop of color (yellow) and can work in just about any design style. 

Here are a few yellow and gray rooms inspired by this amazing picture of the yellow warbler.

My guest bathroom - before and after

When we moved into our house the bathrooms (and kitchen) needed to be updated. These renovations have been occurring over time, and I am thrilled to share with you our renovated guest bathroom, before and after.

Some before (we moved in) pictures, yes, that is a green, puffy toilet seat and the shower floor is just scary - yikes!

Progress pictures, everything out!

Completed!

Because this is the guest bathroom, I thought it would be fun to do things a bit dramatic. The color scheme is charcoal gray, navy blue and citrine, with the main bathroom components crisp white. I like the contrast of the dark colors with the white elements, and I like a little splash of color to liven things up! I selected a pedestal sink and a low toilet, because they make the small bathroom look and feel more spacious. Also, I chose a large, mirrored medicine cabinet so that our guests would have a concealed place to put their toiletries. 

If you are interested, I am happy to provide the sources.
