Bathroom Inspiration

No, not *that* kind of inspiration.

Do you know what the top post on this blog is?  There are a whole lot of google searchers out there that are looking for pictures of Cottage Style Bathrooms. I have said to myself over and over again that I won’t ever post another blog post full of cottage bathroom photos simply because it amuses and slightly annoys me that it’s my most popular post here at this place that has nothing to do with cottage style bathrooms on a day to day basis. But, here I am yet again about to post some bathroom inspiration photos. Why? Because we are finally working on building our master bathroom and I have been searching the internet far and wide for inspiration.

We bought this last weekend:

(not the boy – the bathtub!)

I spent months searching Craigslist in all areas of Florida trying to find just what we needed for this project. It took a lot of patience and frustration but finally the stars aligned. We got one that didn’t need refinishing and included the shower ring attachment and faucet we wanted. It looked like the sale wasn’t going to work out when someone else was going to get there before we could – it was far away and took coordinating of schedules. The following week after I thought it was long gone, the seller emailed me again that it was still available. The other person never showed AND he dropped the price from the already good deal of $300 to $250. All the others we’d been finding anywhere around here were over $700 if they included faucets and shower attachments. We made arrangements and hubby went and got it last week. I was nervous until he called and said it was in the vehicle and he was on his way home. It was truly ours and our patience had paid off.

Now, to decide what color to paint the outside of it. You can feel free to weigh in but I already have so many conflicting opinions from everyone I have asked that it will just have to be what inspires me when the day comes I am ready to paint it. The bathroom still needs a floor so I have some time to think about it.

Here are some of the images I have found online that are helping me put this bathroom together in my head. Hubby can’t work on the room as fast as my brain can come up with this stuff. The walls are up though – a major necessity!

We are keeping it cohesive and going with the same black and white scheme as our other bathroom that we made over this time last year.

Here is some of what is inspiring me as I search the internets for beautiful bathrooms:

I hope you enjoy your Tuesday while I am daydreaming about long bubble baths!
