Love the mirror! Classic!
#2 has been a favorite for awhile now. And #4 may now make it a tie.
I’m remodeling and love these articles and enjoy reading the comments. The one thing that makes me a little bit nutty is I see these gorgeous tiles, sinks, etc. but I have no idea who makes them. For example, I’m really digging #10, the “gold brick“ tile. But can’t figure out where to get it or what it is. One time I emailed the designer, and they got back to me on some wallpaper, which was very kind. But I don’t want to have to do this each time.
