iLike: Clawfoot Bathtubs

 

Sigh. I love clawfoot bathtubs.... AND hexagon tiles, subway tiles, and printed floral tile

You can recreate this look by purchasing this bathtub, for a pretty penny (but it's French and made of cast iron! And just look at those legs!). Get yourself some subway tile for the wall, hex tile for the flooring and some pretty green wallpaper like this:

Add some fluffy white towels and voila! You have a fabulous luxe vintage bathroom!

Little Black Room

Sherwin Williams is predicting that matte black is the new interiors color trend for 2010 and I concur. Just like black is a staple color in my wardrobe, I think it should be a staple accent color for interiors. It's moody and dramatic but classic and crisp. This article recommends that a black wall be trimmed with light baseboards and molding to balance the dark wall. Be careful to also use bright, light-reflecting decor to keep a matte black wall dreamy and dramatic instead of heavy and overwhelming.

The Stir article recommends adding "some interest to the room with glossy lamps or fixtures; high-shine hardwood or tile flooring; or a thick, textured rug. Consider repetitive, angular patterns and "nubby" or ribbed textures on furniture or accent pieces. Choose either a creamy or stark white to round out the simple color palette, and then finish it off with just a few bright colors that draw the eye without overpowering."

What do you think? I absolutely love matte black! I think a bedroom accent wall would be my perfect place for black.
