We don't know the stories behind these two bathrooms, but they're designed in such a way that you're sure they have a history. The bathroom pictured up top is orderly, organized and functional. But it also has signs of age, meaning, and maybe even a little mysticism...

This tidy-but-imperfect bathroom in Blake Dollahite's house also looks like it has some interesting stories to tell. It's evident that the medicine cabinet, vanity, and blue sink weren't simply bought off the shelf and the pieces make you want to know more.

Do you create vignettes within your home? Do they tell a story and perform a function? Both of these small bathroom sink areas inspire us to create more vignettes in our own place. Top photo: Julian Wass
