Few places conjure up images of glamour more than the Ritz Paris. And among the many things it's famous for are its legendary bathrooms — allegedly, the Ritz was the first hotel in Europe to include bathrooms en suite. While their fixtures may be a bit much for everyday living, they're a great source of inspiration for adding a bit of luxe to your own salle de bain.

That bathroom is ugly.
I redid a bathroom several years ago, when the trends were (ugly) aged bronze fixtures or (way overdone) nickel. I chose "living brass" and brass fixtures and accessories just to be different. My contractor scoffed at the choice, but I was so sick of seeing the other options everywhere, and I figured if I waited long enough the pendulum would swing back to brass. I've been really pleased with the way the living brass has developed patina.
^ Never ever ever listen to a contractor. They scoff at everything and know nothing about design. LOL. Love that Kohler in brass.
Hate gold colored fixtures in bath...anything else is better. Only nice thing here are the marble accessories.
what i really want to know is where to get pink bath foam?!
