Living in a semi-bland rental definitely has its downfalls. When I moved into this house I had previously looked at several apartments that just weren't up to par and eventually somewhat settled for my current home (I know, that sounds terrible). I actually don't mind my bathroom but it certainly doesn't hold a candle to these bold & beautiful bathrooms.

I have white subway tile flowing half way up the wall and penny tile on the floor but that's where the fun stops. I can't paint the walls a bold color or install a claw foot tub and pedestal sink that I feel belong in the space. I'm stuck with bottom barrel fixtures from Home Depot. So, I longingly stare at beautiful bathrooms dreaming of someday having one myself.

What I love about these bathrooms is that they're not only beautiful, but they're bold in their own ways. Bold meaning either black walls, hardwood floors or hanging a chandelier above your bathtub. The lucky few who get to shower in these beauties each day decorated the spaces with vigor and a clear vision.
