(Welcome to Bathroom Month! We're taking inspiring bathroom submissions from our readers and giving gifts in return. Join us. All info is here.)
Welcome to Stephanie!
I would love to submit my bathroom! We moved in 2 years ago and the bathroom looked like a tiny little box before. It was painted ultramarine blue with crumbling tiles and over sized sink. It was a total gut renovation and now our bathroom is airy and refreshing...
I picked out Kohler Pinoir series for the toilet and sink and the well-priced Villager tub. Faucet and shower unit are made by Danze, all in satin nickle. The medicine cabinet and extra storage cabinet are from IKEA along with the hooks, paper holder and towel bars. Light fixture above the medicine cabinet is from Restoration Hardware, Spritz collection. Simple white subway wall tiles, carrara marble for the floor and elephant gray porcelain tiles for the knee wall and tub surround.
Our awesome contractor constructed this knee wall to enclose the tub and also created the unstained wood frame for the window. I refinished the door myself, which was a solid panel before and created this window with frosted glass to help illuminate the dark hallway outside of the bathroom.
Thanks! Stephanie

white bathrooms are usually too bland, but this is sexy. i adore the marble.

I've thought about doing the hospital track to hang shower curtains as well. Are those wires supporting the curtain? How easily does it glide?

The shower curtain arrangement reminds me of a sundress; what a sexy bathroom, I love it!

Looks great! Which manufacturer did you end up using for the shower curtain track?

I ended up buying the curtain track from this website:
http://www.curtainfair.com/1200track.htm. I asked for extra chain so I could adjust for the hieght of my ceilings. the track was installed by my contractor, John Belitsky (Simplicity Group). I installed something similar in my bedroom by myself and it was pretty easy; just make sure you measure to the space and have a hack saw handy just in case. And find out what your ceilings are made of! You can also find pretty much the same item in NYC at Zarin Fabrics, which have other types of track systems as well.

I adore a bathroom that can successfully pull off an all-white colour scheme... your look is fresh, serene, and full of character. Your wooden tray of bathroom trinkets is a lovely touch, as is your knockout shower curtain...
Fab job!

BRAVO!
What a fantastic job!
My wife and I are thinking of finishing our guest bath in Carrera as well. It reminds my wife of the courthouse in her home town.
Nice move creating that knee wall at the end of the tub.
Please, tell me, was your door original to the apartment? I'm trying to figure out the best way to get windowed interior doors for my bathrooms and bedrooms as well.
What a great example of small space, great design!
