Via Arndis:
Recycled Glass Tiles (among other things).
Picture this bathroom:
8'x10' + 12' ceilings.
"North Pole" (aquarius) on the floor, and two of the walls, "Blue Jay" (aquarius) on the sink-bearing wall. Aquarius tiles go 2/3 of the way up the walls, with a band of "Obsidian" (river crystals) at the half-way point rather like this, all the way around the room.
Top third of the walls + ceiling are white (cement board + white drywall + white marina paint) Includes deep cupboards over the tub.
Soaker-tub/shower-stall has an colourless, frosted glass door (sliding), but is half perma-glassed in using ribbon format sheet glass (2cm thick).
Tub/stall is done white ceramic tiles (same size as aquarius?) and includes built-in chrome/steel shelves for shampoo, soap, candles etc. Shower head is low-flow and removable. All fixtures are chrome/steel.
Sink = a deep, frosted glass bowl w/ chrome/steel fixtures, set on top of another slab of the ribbon format glass (3cm thick). Storage (both under the sink-counter and over the tub) is done in white marina paint w/ frosted glass doors and chrome/steel hardware.
Lighting = recessed halogens. There are frosted glass votive and tea-light holders on the vanity and on the top of the chrome shelves in the tub/stall.
Floor = white ceramic tiles (1'x1').
Linens are blue and black.
*~*~*~*~*
A bedroom:
Contrast wall = 'mystical grape' or 'scandinavian blue' or something in that family.
The other three walls are white (eggshell paint, I suspect).
dark wooden furniture w/ black hardware ('cause we've got that already). Bed is, ideally, a four-poster queen. But any old queen will do. :-)
lighting = recessed halogens and/or halogen track-lighting (frosted white and chrome)
linens & curtains = black herringbone and/or deep purple
laundry hampers (potentially, like, four of them) are wicker, and the same colour (more or less) as the furniture.
Floor = solid bamboo in 'burnt mocha' (more or less black).
*~*~*~*~*
My Office: 10'x15' (w/ 12' ceilings). Big window.
Floor = horizontal grain bamboo flooring - preferably in a walnut-ish stain.
Walls = 'naples blue' or 'deep ocean' or something to that effect. Art includes B&W photography and who-knows what-all-else. (Ceiling = white).
Lighting = recessed halogens OR green-and-blue glass on copper (protected) track lighting.
Built-in shelves & cupboards along one wall are done in a walnut (dark brown) stain, but probably made of poplar or birch (or, y'know, chipboard w/ poplar/birch veneers)
Office includes a crafting/sewing area (ideally w/ a dress-maker's dummy).
Curtains = chocolate brown sliding/roling (???) blinds + copper(-ish? am I seriously thinking metalic here?) panels.
Also includes a pull-out love-seat (ideally in a dark chocolate colour, though) with appropriate dark-wood side-table and lamp (ideally in copper, w/ lots of lights). Curtain rod = curly-cue copper thingy. Door hardware, if possible, is also copper-coloured (but not actually copper, as it would go green very, *very* quickly).
*~*~*~*~*
This concludes our decorator porn for the day. :-D
Off to watch Iron Man w/ Paul. :-)
