Bathrooms, part 1
{ PURE Beach Dream Home, posts #4 }

I have been planning the interior of our beach home for several years.  I'm always changing my mind!  For simplicity I'm keeping all the tile and fixtures the same in every bathroom - I will be adding color with paint and art in part 2.  I love classic white subway tile and a modern dark gray tile floor.  To save in cost we are doing pedestal sinks - I will add storage ideas in part 2.  All our fixtures are chrome - I love the shine, plus it is less expensive than the brushed finish.

I found some inspiration on pinterest I will of course be adding some color, which will make each bathroom unique. We have 3 bathrooms - see the floor plan here.

I found some wonderful (and affordable) tile!  I love the 12" x 24" dark gray tile - It is exactly what I was looking for at the right price!  The bright white subway tile is thicker than what I found at Home Depot and made in the USA, which is a plus!

It took me a while to find a rectangular pedestal sink in our budget.  This one is different because the bowl is oval, and it is $100s cheaper than the others I found.  We are only doing pedestal sinks in all our bathroom, because we love the look, and also because we save on cabinets!  I know storage will be an issue (I'll tackle this later) but when on vacation do you need a lot of storage??

Love the square shape of these faucets.  Really love the 1.5 gallons per minute shower head - saving more water!
