A little tile mosaic artwork, anyone? These opulent bathrooms are best suited for a penthouse in Dubai, but when I ran across them on the Kitchen Exchange blog(written by the talented Peggy Deras), I had to share them with you. They are the work of Italian mosaic factory SICIS.
We all need a little visual escape in this cold, grey January with our thin little post-holiday wallets hardly able to even buy a giant-sized Neutrogena Rainbath bottle for our shower....and here it is!

this blue color and flowering vine motif is so gorgeous

this one almost has an Anthropologie-like feel,
with its sprig of flowers gracing old-style footed tub

this one has the tasteful, tamed down Calvin Klein minimalist look

whoa! .... a little gold Victorian Gustav Klimt naughty girl look, anyone?

bordering on tasteful, if this were wallpaper, it's an almost accessible look

I have to confess I love this one!

butterflies & giant lilies

calling Sarah Jessica Parker's designer...yes, that is a bathtub
shaped like a high-heeled shoe

and so is this Japanese-girl-of-Shijuku-district look
I like the second pretty floral and the silver one is rather glamorous. The high heel models are fabulous but would never work with me, I could not resist the urge to slide down - splash! Crash!
ReplyDeleteBon Sunday!
I stayed in an apt. in Paris last September that had really fun, bright mosaic work in the bathroom and kitchen: see my post:
