Fresh Start - High Gloss Bathroom

Good morning my lovely readers!  Another weekend has come and gone.  Mine was filled with eating!  I ate out for dinner Friday, lunch Saturday and dinner Sunday.  If you live around Toronto I highly recommend checking out School Bakery & Cafe in Liberty village for brunch.  It was delicious!!!

My uncle has asked me to help him decorate his loft.  I'll show you the before pictures later this week.  We'll be making progress quickly as he wants to get it done ASAP!  The main sources of furniture will be from Crate & Barrel and West Elm.  

Today I'm featuring a high-glam bathroom by Pamplemousse Design.  I fell head over heels for this bathroom the second I spotted it.  Can you imagine starting your day in here?  I think I would jump out of bed every morning to enjoy a cup of tea on one of those lovely chairs taking it all in.  I love everything about this room!!  The walls must be done in a high gloss marble because they are perfection.  The sconces next to the mirrors are simply divine! Two sinks is something I dream of having one day and that huge mirror extends the beauty of the room.  I think I could honestly work all day from this room.  Talk about an inspiring room to start our week! 

Enjoy!!  xo

What's black, brown, white and cream with hits of pink?

It's my favourite house designed by McGill Design Group.  They are a very talented team.  Every room they touch turns to gold.  Check out a few of the rooms in this house.  I've featured the living room before with a different angle. 

I'm in love with the window in the shower and the marble walls!

This living room gives me lots of ideas for the new house.  I think I'll definitely place mirrors on the walls flanking the fireplace to help open up the room.  I'm undecided on weather to get leaning mirrors or to affix mirrors to the walls. 

This dining nook is perfect!  It provides function with the shelves above, drawers below the bench and the corkboard behind.  Check out the chevron rug!  Loving it all!!!  I could easily spend my mornings having breakfast and evenings hanging out here with a glass of wine while Ryan cooks (That's right, my man is a great cook! I'm the luckiest girl alive). 

I'm not sure if the ceiling has been painted a deep chocolate brown or black.  Either way I love it.  It draws your eye up and allows you to take in the architectural details.  The only thing I do not like in this room is the Ikea 3' paper chandelier.  I feel as though it's there because they couldn't find anything else.  It doesn't fit in my mind.

Thank goodness it's Friday.  I went to a GoodLife body pump class with a colleague this morning and feel my muscles tightening and tiring as I type.  Even my fingers are sore from this class.  It was an intense workout which I needed.  I'll have all weekend to recover.  :)  Enjoy yours!  xo

Happy Wednesday!!  Today is an exciting day.  We are meeting with a real estate agent for the first time to discuss looking for and purchasing our first home.  She comes highly recommended by S-I-L Aaren and her S-I-L Jen.  We can't wait to get started on the hunt!  I'll keep you posted on how it goes.  

I know I was a little negative about the month of February yesterday.  Today, I changed my attitude.  I woke up, felt rested and had a great workout (my arms hurt!).  I wanted to share my sunny mood with you all so enjoy these images.  I think many of them are a great wayto lift the winter blues out of your home.  Have a great day!

Time to wash-up

First week back to work has been a busy one!! I find every week, month and year goes by faster and faster as I get older.  Why is that?  Do I have more on the go now then a few years ago?  Anyway, I love everything that's happening in my life.  I feel so blessed.  :)  Tonight I'm having dinner with good friends and my husband at a trendy hot spot in Toronto.  We haven't seen one another since early December.  Tomorrow, Ryan and I are heading to Niaga-on-the-Lake to enjoy the ice-wine festival.  It's going to be a great weekend!!  


Since I haven't had much time to myself this week todays post will be about inspirational photos.  It's time I show you my love for white bathrooms. Someone recently told me that they are out of style now.  (GASP!) How could a classic white bathroom ever be out of style?  It's classic!  


Enjoy the photos.  I'll be back Saturday morning with a recap of our London trip.

A Sparkling Tub

This is where I would like to be heading home to.  Check out the tub in architect Keith Summerour’s personal Meriwether county retreat!  A beautiful soaker tub with sparkle!  If I had one in my bathroom I would sit in it for hours every day.  I might even sit outside it just to admire it.  Ryan might start to think I had a problem if I spent that much time in the bathroom but I wouldn't care.  I would have that tub.  :)

I also want to point out the huge table lamps.  I love the shape of the wooden base and the simple shade.  They're perfect.  I'm dreaming up different types of rooms styles that I would use them in.

How many more days until the first day of spring?  I'm craving warm weather!  Maybe I'll do a little spring inspiration post this week.
