Master baths a bit

Here it is Saturday, and a rainy kind of day, so things just look dreary.  Coming from the Chicago area, there are a  lot of dreary days.  Actually from the Indiana side of Illinois, about 1 hour from downtown Chicago, where there are more dreary days than sunshine ones.  That is why I love Florida.
There is always something to do.  You need to stay home once in a while to rest.  It is an everyday in paradise.  It is a Happy Place.  It is a colorful place.  It is a melting pot from all over the United States and  Europe.  It is always friendly if you want it to be.

So in our happy little world, as in the Eddie Arnold Song, " Welcome to my World".  So in our perfect world, everything is sunny and beautiful.  It looks perfect from every way you look at it. 

So let's Brighten up our lives.  We have to go back again, and decide what we are going to do.  We were talking about bathrooms, so let's go back to that a bit, to another bath, the Master Bath.  I always feel that the master bath is special.  It is the one room you do spend time in.  I love fancy lighting, wonderful accessories, pretty towels, a place to sit and put on your shoes, a bath or shower to relax in and spend your private time, and wash away the stress of the day.  Flowers and wonderful pictures help sooth the soul.  I always put shelves in the bathrooms to add parts of collections.  Here are a few pictures:

 

This is a wood shelf, that s a little Country French, but can go anywhere.  Here are pieces of different collections.  A shell from Hawaii, as I love to bring something back from wherever I go, and a piece of Coal Port, handed down in the family.  What is so great, I can change these instantly to another scheme, using totally different colors.

 

 

 

This area sits exactly below the shelf above.  The coral, was a gift, the bird was won in a golf tournament and the bust was from a resale shop.  The bust started out brown, then I marbleized it in green with white veins, now it is being painted gloss white for a totally different look.  The wonder of paint and color.  The blue jar is just a piece from Bombay Company while it existed.  
To the immediate right is the ring of the Jacuzzi tub.  To the right of the tub, you will find:

 

 

A mirrored jewelry box and a vase of flowers with a picture above them.  You saw the chandelier earlier in the blog that was above this Jacuzzi tub.  This tub has a wonderful sprayer to wash your hair.  It is a favorite spot for our grandchildren..  Here we have hard window coverings in the form of plantation shutters, and a soft treatment with a valance.  It was seen(the soft treatment) in the one with the chandelier.

 



 

 



This is an arrangement of the left of one of the sinks.  See the use of several items forming a single arrangement.  This is what separates a regular bathroom from a spectacular one.  Not to say that you couldn't just use one picture or item,  that would be fine.  Utilize your space.  Lay the pictures, etc. on the floor, on the top of newspaper.  Cut out the shapes and tape them to your walls first.  If it is good, go ahead and pound the nails.  There is also a magnifying mirror to the right.  You got it, this is my space.

 

What does your space look like?  Mine is happy, although it does need a new bottom picture.  It was a print of a very good artist bought at n art show.  I do not now how it was printed, but it faded.  That is why an artist should use giclees\' instead of prints made at a copy center.  They do not last!

 

Today and the next few days, we will focus on bathrooms, paintings and giclees'.

 

See what you can put together this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
