Every element of a cottage bathroom is one part style and one part functionality, making it...
Somewhere amidst the move towards more casual, contemporary design and the push for increasingly eco-friendly homes, natural finished wood has skyrocketed in popularity. Blonde and gray wood, reclaimed wood, and driftwood - both authentic and replica - have become must-have hot-ticket items for everything from floor boards to ceiling beams and all the furniture and furnishings in between. Driftwoo...
Clawfoot bathtubs are the number one go-to choice for anyone looking to get something more than just the average bathtub. They're beautiful, iconic, and carry a sense of history with them - after all, they do represent the origin of the modern bathtub in this part of the world.
