bathrooms and bathroom bits!

I have been looking at all things bathroom recently & have come across these gems! There are so many fantastic colours & concepts that can push the boundaries of the a typical bathroom. Once upon a time it was the quirky or slightly naughty picture that was in the 'downstairs loo' or perhaps a much loved & powerful wallpaper that was rioting the bathroom beneath the stairs so that all other walls could be a safe shade of white.......

Christie's in Paris

hmmmmm.... I have just been searching through the Christie's on-line catalogues & these beauties caught my eye. I seem to be having a passion for all things early mid century at the moment, but when you see these, & then the replica's there really is no comparison, apart from the $!

what to put on the walls next?

 stumbled across these first two fresco's when having a look at VT Interiors blog - it is fantastic have a look www.vtinteriors.blogspot.com and it got me thinking that we don't use our walls to their greatest capacity - sometimes painting them one fabulous bold colour but more often than not choosing one of the hundred's of whites on the market.
