dreaming

found via a google image search


via vintage simple
(i admit, i'd ruin the lines and put a cabinet under the sink)
i love the idea of a farm house sink instead of the standard double sink.
finding one that is plumbed for two faucets will be a miracle.
via the design notebook

completely impractical, but so pretty.
via sam's notebook

and for a practical choice:
this bathroom has almost exactly the same layout as ours
from vintage simple

i love the old mirror and the bead board.
i prefer a clawfoot tub and they are frequently on craigslist
for $125-150 - far less than a new tub costs.
and though pedestal sinks are pretty, i find them too impractical
in an old house where every inch of storage is a cherished feature.

i will not horrify anyone who actually reads this blog with a picture of my bathroom as it stands now. i think the staircase may have caused someone to jab out their eyes with a hat pin (i was tempted when i saw that picture again).
