A lot has changed since I last shared my ideas for the bathroom. The bathroom design process has been rushed, as my guys had an opening to do a little work and I wanted to take advantage of the labor. It’s never a great idea to start construction before the design has been thoroughly planned out, but I’m breaking all the rules on my own job. Figures.
I felt comfortable enough with the design to order fixtures, but have left the rest of the scheme fairly open. A few choices have shifted the whole look.
The new scheme is looking a little more like this… but I bet you it will change some more!
1. Privacy shade in shower 2. Wall Color 3. Floor mosaics 4. Vanity Paint color 5. Bathroom Rug
The shift started when I picked up the black and white Carrara marble basketweave tile. It was $11 at Lowes’s and I just couldn’t pass up the deal. I love how the floor picks up the black in the rug! I’m leaning toward doing the shower curtain black and white as well.
With the floor more graphic than I had planned, I knew I needed to drop the striped wall idea. It was just too busy. I will still get my light teal and dark teal contrast- the walls will be light and the vanity will be dark.
Also my mirror arrived and I really like it in its natural state. I may keep it this way, or I may antique it just a bit. We will see as the other elements come together!
Oh and I’ve been admiring Caitlin Wilson’s Peacock Scallop fabric and may try to use it in the bathroom somewhere. A cute little shade in the shower?
What do you guys think of the changes in my design scheme? See my last bathroom post with full sources here.

Love it Naomi! Especially the bathroom rug AND shower curtain. Adore!
I love the black and white basketweave tile!! It feels classic and modern at the same time to me– a throwback to the old square black and white bathroom tiles but with the fun basketweave pattern. I think all the changes will be fantastic! I can’t wait to see it all together!
Love that tile! The mirror is gorgeous, too. Does Restoration Hardware have anything that isn’t amazing?? Be safe in Philly!
I’m loving the new scheme!
xo
Genius idea to get the color contrast with the wall/vanity. And that basketweave is killer. You work well under pressure girl!
I think I’m loving the new plan better than the first! SO pretty! Absolutely love that tile for the floor. Can’t wait to see it all done!
love the shower curtain – where’s it from? I’m looking for something similar!
LOVE. Can’t wait to see those floors all done!
Perfection! And I think I like the mirror as is.
I love all the elements you’ve chosen (but I’m biased because I actually used many of the same in my bathroom):

Love the mirror in the natural wood. Its a nice contrast to the more polished items.
I’m already in love with that wall/vanity color combo!!! So awesome in a bathroom…and that flooring is straight from heaven. HEAVEN, I say!
Love this new scheme!! That flooring is amazing… and the colors/patterns you’ve got going are going to be fantastic! Hope you stay safe during Hurricane Sandy!
Love, love, Love that tile!!! that carpet is drool worthy too. I wish I had visited your blog before I went to turkey – I’d have totally let those carpet sellers sell me a rug!! You’ve totally sold me on it!!!
