Apartment update :: bathroom inspiration

Now that I'm all moved into my apartment I'm starting to think about how I'm going to decorate it. One of the first things I'm going to do is give the bathroom a little update - I'm lucky in the sense that it has just been renovated so its all fresh + lovely; plus its a white, blank canvas with zero personality (= bonus for me!).


Because I've never had my own apartment before, I haven't had the joy of adding some decidedly feminine touches (aka pink), so without going too overboard, I plan to turn the bathroom into a chic, fun + colourful space that I know will make me smile every time I get ready in the morning!


Here's what I'm thinking so far...






Thank goodness West Elm ship to Oz now, otherwise this rug would have just been a fantasy. Oh and West Elm are also offering 50% off international shipping right now :)


Happy hump day friends!

  20. Funny, I only know you through blogging and when I see your ideas the first thing that comes to mind is: This is so you!

    I'd love to have artwork in our in-suite shower room but the bathrooms have been renovated and there are beautiful tiles on the walls. I'm reluctant to drill a hole in them even though the owner never mentioned that we weren't allowed to do that. Maybe if I find a narrow floor shelf for my stuff then I can simply let the artwork rest on that one, up against the wall. How is that for a perfect solution? ;-)
