All I want in life is a claw foot tub. But really, I'm absolutely serious. Preferably one with gold accents, like in photos 1 or 6. There is just something so relaxing about taking a warm bath at the end of a long day, and what's better than being in a huge, old fashioned tub? The are so much more unique than just any old tub, and I love how they stand out on their own in a large room - they don't need to be in a corner or connected to anything else. Someday, when I have that big huge bathroom I've always wanted, there will be one of these bathtubs.

Black is the New Black
Black doesn't only just look good on you, it even looks good on your wall. Black walls are SO in right now, ever since Nate Berkus said so of course. I usually tend to air on the side of bright and white, but I'm loving this trend, especially for an accent wall or a bathroom. It looks so rich, especially with some gold accents such as frames, mirrors, vases, lamps or candles. And if you're too afraid to do an entire wall, why not grab a black couch or cabinet to start?
