I’ve never been much of a bath girl. Showers are much more my thing. I like them big and I like them stylish. Sometimes you don’t have room in a compact bathroom for big, but there’s no excuse for a lack of style. None! So when I spotted these freestanding “cage” showers from Drummonds, my style-loving heart skipped a beat. (When I saw the prices, it skipped a few more, but there are always clients for premium splurges!).

If you’re a die-hard traditionalist the trend towards contemporary and transitional design may leave you feeling lost for fresh new inspiration in the familiar classic look you love, but no more! Island legs are simple but still read farmhouse. Note flat panel style doors and flat slab drawer fronts. The stone floor suggests French Country here.

Get The Look: A Black And White Bathroom Floor. We love a black and white floor. And, as cement tile fanatics, we’re always scouring the web for gorgeous concrete tile patterns. Here’s one we recently spotted over on Rue Magazine. In a simple bathroom, a patterned tile takes the space from blah to beautiful. In this case the classic swirling design is a welcome contrast to the severe, space modern look of the rest of the room.

Whether you love antique appliances or vintage home decor, there is definitely an upswing in kitchen design to bring back the nostalgic feel of days gone by.
