Creating Your Dream Bathroom: How to Plan & Style the Perfect Space

by Susan Breen

The perfect modern bathroom has become a "pamper space"--a personalized, private, luxurious spa-like retreat for relaxing and unwinding. And now, with this ultimate reference, homeowners can realize their dream design to fit available space--and budget. Susan Breen ( Creating Your Dream Kitchen ) tours all-American dream bathrooms and surveys the myriad design choices and materials, from color and floors to soothing multiple shower heads and trendy real-furniture vanity units. Among her tantalizing His and Hers retreats with separate grooming areas; shower towers with body sprays; an indoor/outdoor shower with bench and Zen garden; a bathroom coffee bar and fridge for making fresh juice; and a bath suite with a Mom's sitting area with TV, stereo, and intercom.

-1 or 2 stars. i was looking for ideas and inspiration and guidance on how to redo a normal bathroom. this was not that. it was more unusual design ideas for extremely high-end bathrooms. just not even in the ballpark of what i was looking for.

also, who on earth would want a bathroom OPEN to their bedroom? then you get all the humidity from the shower throughout your entire bedroom. aaand everybody gets to hear you poop. and when it stinks then your whole bedroom does too. i fail to see that appeal.

Some good ideas. I particularly liked:
Mosaic tile walls, pages 40 and 10.
Art deco style padestal sink, page 50.
Lighting and mirrors, page 29.
