This all white and very straightforward bath is simple and totally functional. The washstand with its marble top works well in the space, the sconce lights take away shadows, a magnifying mirror is always helpful, and a medicine cabinet corrals all of ones daily needs. The natural light is a benefit but the window is fitted with a simple roller shade. The bead board and French inspired fitting signify a traditional bath and the white paint makes the space nice but bland.

There is a small vintage storage cabinet beside the washstand and a nice silver monogramed wastebasket/magazine holder.  Each adds a personal and practical touch.

But, imagine this space with a great color or decorative wallpaper on the walls, some great textured towels in a rich color, a rug on the floor and some large scale art on the walls. This bath could easily be transformed into a brighter and more friendly space with significantly more personality. All it would take is a little planning,  some inspirational tear sheets from magazines or blog posts, a little shopping and a good contractor. I’d love to see the transformation!
