High Design Bathrooms. 

Hello all ye few but faithful...

As I was getting ready this morning I realized how much I hate my drab little bathroom with it having no windows, vinyl "wood" floors, honey oak stained cabinetry and the piece de resistance the flimsy beige tile. With that said I am having total bathroom envy today.

There is just something about a double mirrored vanity that can drive a man crazy, the way the antique mirror delicately hangs over the builder grade non beveled mirror, add to that my favorite terra correra, honed, bull nosed marble countertop with an under-mount square sink..HELLO...please come home with me. 

Again with me and the mirrors I know, but I just love the sophisticated whimsy of this otherwise completely traditional bathroom having this huge mirror mounted on the entire wall behind the vanity, maybe it has something to do with my theory that more is more, but I loves it. 

I love mosaics. This bathrooms just screams Steven Alley for some reason...besides the toothbrushes on the counter, I would never be caught dead with my toothbrush out. I am assuming this is from someone's powder room, or better yet will assume it's in my powder room, could you imagine getting to look at that every-time you sat down to use the lou? Gosh I would be so excited every time mother nature called. 

Ok, wile this bathroom may not be my exact style there is something to appreciate here, and that is the sheer eleganza of this bathroom, full marble floors, polished gold hardware, wainscoting, and the slightest accent of dusty rose on the floor to ceiling draperies. 

So, do tell what is your bathroom fantasy...and please keep it PG!

'Till next time.

Steven's 2012

It’s 2012 can you believe it. 2011 was absolutely an amazing year for me. It all started with a big big move all the way across the country from Los Angeles to Atlanta, getting a bomb diggity job at Napa Home & Garden, traveled the country, met amazing new people and have been succeeding every day since. As I start the new year I make some new resolutions and some that I have made for years past, my biggest resolution is to stop being so obsessive compulsive about things ( As I adjust the volume on my TV to be a an even level.) I look forward to the struggle of trying the weight loss battle and everything that comes a long with that, and perhaps the most struggling of all will be my resolution to save money, but I am going to try my hardest. Some good news my trip to Toronto in late January has been cancelled, and let me tell you that this is good news because this (meaning me) does not do snow ha.

As I pass my one year anniversary on my big move to Atlanta, look back on it with pleasure but wonder about my future here, especially as I return from my trip from Dallas, which happens to be my favorite place on earth, I’m thinking that this needs to move to Dallas, the big D, some time in the future. It just seems to feel right to me, uptown, down town Dallas, Highland Park, it all just seems to feel like home to me.

I start the official new year for Steven tomorrow, wish me luck and give me inspiration its going to be a great year.
