Great Ideas for Bathroom Renovations!

I needed to re-do my small master bathroom in my new home that hadn't been updated since the 1960s. I live in a coastal village in New England and I love the classic, traditional home look.

This book was so valuable in helping me to make color and design decisions. I was able to take ideas from almost all of the bathrooms showcased in the book. Each of the photos and sparse but information-rich, bulleted text will demonstrate how to make a bathroom warm, cosy, bright, roomy and as efficient as possible given space and budgetary restrictions.

They showed tile and even wood floors as a viable option, marble tiling, wainscoting, gorgeous fixtures, a variety of sinks, vanities and wall colors.

Yes, the rooms were definitely styled for the shoot and the photos are gorgeous, but there is really very little that could be considered over the top (yes, except for the chandelier and built-in bookcase that appear on the bathroom of the cover of the book).

Just take the time and look through the rest of the book and you will have some beautiful ideas for your bathroom remodel!

PS: I started out with the former homeowner's choice of gray laminate flooring, pink walls, and matching bronze/brown toilet, shower and sink (believe me, I asked myself "WHY??" too).
I now have pale green walls, ivory bead-boarded wainscoting, dark cherry floors (triple-sealed for protection), and cream porcelain accessories (bronze be gone!)
I was wandering the aisles of Home Depot aimlessly having a hard time coming up with a cohesive design until I found this book. I am so happy with my results!

Pretty bathrooms!

I love this book and got some great ideas when I decided to remodel two bathrooms this summer. I love the tranquil blue colors against white. Take a look.

Transforming a bathroom from boring to beautiful is easy with Country Living's help. Every splendid color photograph presents an attractive option, from decorating a fun kids' bathroom to fashioning a luxurious spa right at home. There's no need to begin from the ground up to create a space that meets your needs: you'll find winning ideas to adapt, detailed makeover plans to follow, and simple projects to make. The many looks to choose from include clean, attractive white-on-white, vintage chic, and soothing spaces, filled with soft colors and textures. See how to design and decorate a very small bathroom or one used by two or more people. There are inventive ways to add splashes of color or the warmth of wood, to organize and accessorize, and to adorn wall surfaces creatively.
