We're headed out for a little road trip and weekend wedding in a few short hours, but while my tiny girl is sleeping I thought I'd give you a quick peek at our guest bath. It's nestled right up next to the guest room down a short hallway on the first floor. It was actually renovated before we moved in. A little gem of a room, I loved it the moment I laid eyes on the crystal chandelier. (and breathed a sigh of relief that there was at least one room in the house that wouldn't require some kind of renovation!)

It boasts beautiful travertine tile on the floor and shower walls, a gorgeous old dresser turned vanity, and a sunny little window draped in foliage which causes the afternoon sunlight which spills thru into the hallway to dance and dazzle with the slightest breeze. It is not uncommon to find me standing there mesmerized for long moments when the light is just so. It makes me want to write poetry.

As with every room in this house, it's simple and practical, but also enchanting.

A plush rug and fluffy white towels were all it took to prepare this room to welcome quests. I've been on the look out for a gorgeous old oil painting to adorn the entry wall, but other than that I'll leave her be. I prefer bathrooms to feel clean vs cluttered. Besides, she's doing just fine without me frilling her up too much.
