beautiful bathrooms

From Apartment Therapy

I enjoy contemplating the cool and unique things my dream home will have one day. Today I want to put together a few interesting baths, sinks and other bathroom accessories. So much more awesome than your plastic moulded tub and off-white sink!

How about a bathtub right out a science fiction movie?

Who says sinks have to be bowl-shaped? A gorgeous and different sort of sink.

Or if you'd prefer a more traditional sink, how about this beautiful cast iron one?

Or how about this amazing oversized stone bathtub! Want!

If that's too rustic for you, how about this amazing oyster bath? Beautiful and elegant.

Maybe throw in a wall of bubble-inspired tiles?

Or perhaps just a super-stylish shower!

From Designboom

And last but not least, a lovely sink that has a rock covering a spring of water, which is released simply by lifting the stone.

poetic chairs

Liking these chairs from Draga Obradovic a great deal. When furniture turns to art... with quirky sayings and pretty designs. Very nice.

I'm quite impressed with this project by Herzog & de Meuron: your archetypal house shape extruded and stacked on top of each other, resulting in a series of intricate and interesting spaces as these shapes interact with each other.

pretty alternatives

Considering that sensitive and beautiful coral reefs are easily threatened by so many things - the carelessness of boats and divers, climate change, etc - we really should not be adding deliberate poaching to the list. While taking a little bit of coral to put in your aquarium at home might seem like an innocent idea, it really does just aid the destruction of these amazing natural environments.

So why not opt for some beautiful porcelain vessels that mimic natural forms instead? Saving Seas by Katherine Morley is one example of an artificial substitute that's just as beautiful (and much more sustainable!).

It's like sinking old ships to create artificial (yet equally rich and vibrant) undersea habitats.

yes please

I've never been a coffee drinker. I enjoy the smell of roasted beans, but for some reason I never quite got around to liking the taste.

So instead of a coffeemaker in my house I'll have to have one of these. Yum!

return to antiquity

Very cool. Bookbook is a MacBook cover that's a book. An old book. Things just go around in circles, don't they?

How magical would sleeping under this canopy bed be? Beautiful!

sun jar

Although a bit more expensive than a tealight in a jar, this rechargeable, solar-powered led light would look gorgeous all lit up in a row along a windowsil in the evening - and you wouldn't need to do an ounce of preparation beyond putting it down!

etsy dresses & coats

Normally, I'm pretty restrained when it comes to buying new clothes. I might admire something that's flashy and out-there but when it comes to putting down money I usually have to get pretty used to the idea of it first. Coats and dresses, however, are usually classic enough that I can't resist. So here are a few of my favourites of late.

spectacular spaces

Coming across the work of 1100 Architects I am amazed by the gorgeous details, sweeping spaces and strong lines. I had such a tough time picking just a few favourites! Definitely worth checking out the rest of their work.


Love the details in this staircase.

Did I mention I liked round doors? This was an old vault door. Awesome!
