Lucas’ bathroom

I have the below bathroom image designed by Windsor Smith in my inspirational board for a while and when the opportunity to renovate Lucas’/guest bathroom came I wanted to create a similar nautical feel but with a more global atmosphere while considering our adult guests.  While searching for another project a few months ago I came across this fantastic antique brass half moon sconce (above) and I haven’t been able to take it out of my mind so I knew this was the time for me to squeeze it in somehow.  The wallpaper is Kattie Ridder’s although it’s not the final color.   I’m planning to use it on two walls of the bathroom while the rest of the walls will be covered from floor to ceiling with 8×8 white porcelain tiles.  If I don’t get to use it due to the fact that the bathtub is going to be also a shower, then I’ll stencil something similar.  On the floor I decided to go with white penny tiles with a blue border around the room.  The mirror (not exactly the one pictured) will be inside a big wall niche above the sink console which is going to be custom made to fit the space.  I don’t really believe all hardware in a bathroom have to be from the same design or finish for that matter, that’s why I’m using two different styles of bathroom fixtures and in this case even two different finishes.  Edwardian bathtub faucet in polished nickel and one single whole faucet for the sink in antique brass to complement the sconce and the Ralph Lauren marine porthole ceiling fixture.  For more conservative people this may not even be in question but if I don’t wear a matching suit everyday why should my bathroom?
