DESIGN IDEA: GLOSS IT UP - A STYLISH CEILING SOLUTION!

I love the idea of adding visual interest to the ceilings in a home.  Why not try something different in at least one space in your home?

I like this idea...high gloss ceilings!  Here, interior designer Beth Webb used a super glossy pale blue paint on the curved ceilings in this hallway and living room.  The ceiling color contrasts ever so slightly with the white walls throughout the rooms.   The light blue is reminiscent of a bright sky on an early spring day.  Love it.  The ceiling almost looks like it has had several coats of lacquer applied to it.  I'm sure this look can be achieved with a super high gloss paint.

What do you think of this design idea?

I like the idea of using a pale color on the ceiling too...nothing too bold or contrasting...just adds some texture and depth to the rooms.

Do weigh in!  Do you love it or dislike it? Comment below.

Happy Wednesday (again)!

THIS OR THAT: DROP IN VS. FREESTANDING TUB!

A well appointed traditional bath with freestanding tub, light blue and gray floral wallpaper and roman shades trimed in gray! (above)

I like pondering dilemmas that I have no business pondering here on the blog.  I have the smallest bath in my tiny tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills..no room for anything really.  What I would really like is an expansive bath with room for a separate tub and shower, a vanity and so much more.  Since I can't have those things right now...I must dream and wonder...if I did have the bathroom space...what would I do with it?

Soooo...here are two bathtub situations...one is a freestanding (standalone) tub in white that sits on a pedestal of sorts...the other, below, is a drop in tub that is literally dropped into a wood frame with paneling on the outside.

Hmmm...which one...which one...?  That is the questions in today's THIS OR THAT?

A drop in tub with a panelled front right under a picture window in a cute bathroom. (above)

So dear readers...which of these two bathtubs do you prefer?  The freestanding or the drop in?  What do you have in your house...does it work for you?

Please do tell.

Happy Friday!

PERFECTLY PLEASING BEDROOM!

I like this room.  Very soothing.  Defintely a place where I could rest...a lot...! Love the Hermes Birkin on the white tufted bench at the foot of the bed too.  I'm normally not a pastel girl...but this room is refreshingly pleasant.  Don't you think?

Happy Tuesday!
