blue and white
I fell in love with this bedroom mainly for these cushions which are extremely chic, for some reason they make me this of Audrey Hepburn. Maybe it’s the silhouette of the lady with her elegant figure, pearls, purse and chignon hairdo.
But I seriously love the muted color scheme of this bedroom, the off whites and that steely light blue color with black accents. Check out the damask pattern in the blinds. Just a really elegant design for a relatively small space.

Two vanities, each with a sink and a mirror, or one long vanity equipped with two sinks is a common design element for today’s master baths.
Above-counter basins and vessels are today’s hot choice for adding elegance to otherwise ordinary vanities. These sinks work equally well in master bathrooms with contemporary, traditional, Asian, or eclectic styles. Note that vessel sinks may require tall or wall-mount faucets.
The use of blue is kept to a minimum with just the walls painted in blue but the effect is wonderful with the walls reflecting off the mirrors which helps to open up the room adding another dimension to an otherwise pure white bathroom.
Cottage Bath with Twice the Style – Matching pedestal sinks, clear-glass shelves, and mirrored medicine cabinets separated by a simple storage unit offer a symmetry that’s pleasing to the eye without taking up much space in this modest-size bathroom. The placement of the sconces on each side of the mirrors means they can do double duty, providing both task lighting and ambient lighting.
This gorgeous cottage bathroom is completely white except for a few well placed touched of Caribbean bay blue, a beautiful blue that makes an impact and never lets you forget it’s there! It is highly vibrant and automatically gives the room a beach and seaside atmosphere.
Bathroom Bathed in Natural Light -White wainscoting and moulding form the basis for the structure of this cottage bath, but the placement of windows really enlivens the room. The combination of a skylight with a pair of windows above the vanity more than doubles the amount of natural light that enters the room through what otherwise would have been blank wall or ceiling space….

Crisp, white Craftsman trim and vintage-look wainscoting help recapture this bungalow’s historic charm. Marble countertops complement the simple color scheme, while period-appropriate faucets and hardware add character.
