You recently completed a bathroom and included some special Weezie pieces. Can you give us a glimpse into the process of bringing this beautiful space together?
Bathroom 1: We loved what a fun twist on a traditional pattern this tiger wallpaper was, and accessorizing the space with accents such as the towels and the playful embroidery was really the icing on the cake, so to speak. We envisioned this as a fun family bathroom for a summer beach house, and really wanted to keep it light and whimsical.
Bathroom 1:
Wallpaper: York Ferrandi Wallpaper
Mirror: Kohler
Fixtures: Kohler
Sconces: Vaughan
Vanity: Kohler
Shade: Window Shade by The Shade Store
Accessories: Serena & Lily
Bathroom 2: We fell in love with this Missoni ‘Constellation’ wallpaper and then everything else fell into place. We wanted this powder room to be a bit more glamorous than playful, and we love how the black piping and embroidery of the towels played into the drama of the wallpaper pattern.
Bathroom 2:
Wallpaper: York Constellations Wallpaper
