the bathroom: not just a place to go "you know what" anymore...

More and more I'm seeing furniture pieces in bathrooms, and I'm LOVING it! Why can't our bathrooms be equally as beautiful and comfortable as our living spaces? If you're lucky enough to have a bathroom large enough to allow for a furniture piece or two, then count your many blessing and get on it! I love the idea of an antique (or made to look antique :-) ) bookcase or hutch that houses all of our bathroom essentials (rolled towels, apothecary jars filled with sponges and cotton swabs and bars of decorative soup). Who wouldn't want to feel like they were stepping into a spa every time they frequented the bathroom? And, while we love the knight in shiny armor, let's be honest, it's the spa that makes us big girls feel like princesses.

So, if you have the space and a piece of furniture that doesn't quite seem to have a place in your home, (preferably a piece that has shelves or drawers so it's also functional) consider using this piece in your bathroom. Or, add a chair in the corner or up against the tub to function as seating and a surface on which you can place the items you use when taking a bath. How attractive is a charming little chair stacked high with crisp, white towels?! Uhhh, I'd say a 10!

This lovely space boasts a bookcase, chair, and desk! Who would have ever thought to put a desk in the bathroom? But, it works!


Wait a second, is this a bathroom or a living room? With plenty of seating and a chandelier that looks like it could hang in your dining room - this bathroom makes you do a double take.


And, on to my personal favorite. A free standing tub; shined to perfection polished nickel tub filler; a sweet, little side table that's as functional as a nightstand; and the wow factor, a timeless hutch that most would confine to the living room.


I just love the little sofa used in this space, and the dressing table isn't too shabby either!

  1. I would never have thought of putting a hutch in a bathroom - what a unique idea!
