    I love love what you've done with your bathroom. It is elegant, understated and is the kind of "upscale understand country look" that I love. You nailed it!!!
    Based on your design look I have a recommendation/tip for you. The is an amazing Canadian designer named Sarah Richardson. I think that some of her programs are now being aired on HGTV US. She is amazing and certainly doesn't limit herself to one look, style or vision, however, I find that when she does what I call "upscale country" or "clean country" or "urban country" she is amazing. Se is a favourite on Pinterest with both American's and Canadian's. She just re-did her website and her portfolio is amazing, but the site is also super, it has "webisodes" for a house she re-did I conjunction with Lowes so the price points of the accessories, fixtures etc. run the range of inexpensive to top of the line. I think you'd really enjoy her work. Her company is called Design Inc. and it has a site but the new website that combines her business site, her many TV shows, and tons of other fun things like tips, articles, some DIY's etc. is one of the best, most informative, fun and info filled sites I've seen. OK, I am unabashedly a Sarah groupie-but if you have a moment take a look at some of the rooms she's done, I think you'll find that there is inspiration all over the rooms. Her site is sarahrichardsondesigninc.com. I'd love to hear from you if you have a chance to look at her site. My husband teases me that I am almost evangelical when it comes to Sarah BUT I LOVE HER WORK and I love the fact that she started as an assistant on a small Canadian show, then got her own show (which she put on her new site-unfortunately there are only pic's no episodes) called Room Service where she did rooms and sewed curtains, tablecloths and duvet covers and did lots of DIY's. this lead to another show and she is now one of Canada's star designers. Hope you have a chance to take a look and sorry the post is so long.
    Cheers, Shirley from Toronto, Canada

    I am also a Sarah Richardson Groupie! I have followed Her designs for years. She and Her Partner, Tommie are awesome! I have never seen one thing that She did that I didn't just love, love, love! I wish that She was on HGTV more often. She is head and shoulders above most of the other " Designers"! I would beg, borrow or, etc., to have Her refresh My Home.

    Just an FYI-I too love how Sarah combines colour...it is an art and an area I often struggle with. Her site is great but in CANADA AT LOWES she has her own paint line with all the hues and colours that or sooo Sarah. Not sure if Lowes US carries it, or if you knew about it. The company that produces it is Para Paint. Just some info as you were talking paint colours. Ben. Moore is my go to usually but know I always checks Sarah's line & 70% of the time - Sarah has what is in my "minds eye". Cheers and love what you've done. Just starts following you and looking forward to a quiet time this weekend to go thru your idea book. Good luck!!
