I know this gorgeous bathroom image in Liza Gile's home has been around the blogworld before. But it has particular resonance for me at the moment as we plan the new store, and also as I try to finalise plans for our long-awaited home renovation.
The perfect mix of vintage and new. The gorgeous contemporary bath that literally beckons one in. The sleekness of marble up against painted wooden floors. And the lovely mix of old bevelled glass mirrors on the wall, which add instant character to the space.
Actually, I'd like to venture in there right now with my bubble bath, fill the tub, and close the door.
Can I just apologise beforehand for my lack of blog posts, lack of blog visits, and general lack of bloginess this week? General chaos and disorganisation and computer spanners in the works brings out the worst of the Virgo in me. I don't cope well! Instead of moving into high gear I want to hide in the bathroom.
How my poor team and family are coping with me is also a very good question!
Don't answer that one...
Happy Friday!

Blogging will wait, Amanda! You go and have a nice relaxing soak in your own bathroom while yelling instructions through the door at the family and team.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful room - I can see how it inspires you. Blogging can be a bit of a pressure at times, can't it? Try to relax and have a lovely Friday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture Amanda. Love all the mirrors. Hope you can have a relaxing weekend xx
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderfully serene weekend Amanda. Mise is right...blogging waits and sticks around...unlike some people!
ReplyDeleteI think we all need some time out eventually! It would be nice to hide in a bathroom like the one pictured ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you can manage a soak in your bath over the weekend. Be sure to take a wine in with you too. Dont worry about the team and the family, they all know too well that there is no gain without a little pain. xx
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness ...I am such a mirror fan...I have 5 stacked on my mantel and many more in groups throughout my home...LOVE this look sooooo much.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday my friend. oxoxoxxoo
I like that image - contemporary bath with vintage mirrors. It really works. And isn't Mise hilarious? Definitely good advice. xx
ReplyDeleteyep, i agree, go run yourself a bath, take a stiff drink with you, and let yourself go! never mind about the blogging it will be here when you hop out with toes like prunes : )

Yes, what is it
ReplyDeleteabout the push and
the pull, the yin
and the yang, of
mixing contemporary
and antique/tattered/
nicely worn?! It
IS such a comfortable
mixture, though!
Good luck with all
that is on your plate.
Remember, Miz Virgo,
you don't have to be
p.e.r.f.e.c.t!!!

Perfection! THanks for posting -- I'd missed it on its previous blog rounds.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite cafés in the world used to have a wall consisting entirely of mirrors -- 30 or 40 -- of all shapes and sizes. Add the candlelight at post-dinner dessert sessions, and it was pretty close to bliss.
Take care,
Michael
Dear Amanda,
ReplyDeleteThat bathroom has my name written all over it !! Just my style. The trouble with blogging is that the more I see, the more I want to re-decorate, which isn't practical and, the older I get, the less inclined I am to decorate!!
I wouldn't worry about the 'not visiting, 'not blogging' stuff. Real life is so much more important. There is enough stress in our daily lives without worrying about blogging.
Get in that bath and enjoy, Amanda !!!! XXXX
my favorite house ever...and i second the dream of a bubble bath here.
