From eye-sore to eye-candy:a stellar transformation...

First, the eye-candy...for first impressions count ...Take those pristine white walls, dark stained floor-boards, twin sinks, a stunning black & white claw-foot tub holding center-stage, a separate shower enclosure and still a lot of space to walk around..how can this not be stunning!! Not to miss the beautifully stocked glass cabinet. This is the master bath of UK-based Jonathan King who has chronicled its transformation on his blog, 47 Park Avenue. You need to see the 'before' image at the end of this post to really appreciate what an amazing job Jonathan has done.

Sans the beast...it would be a perfect beauty...

Here's the 'before'...

Different but similar...

Look at the similarity between these two rooms..a dining space and a bathroom. They are from the same house..that of interior designer Vanessa Alexander. Though the function of the two rooms could not be more different..the layout & decor works perfectly in both...

Today I'm loving...

...the mix of modern and traditional in these living rooms...just perfect harmony!

Monday workspace...& I am back!

I'm  loving the combination of wood and hide in the very masculine work corner. The framed photos, the narrow lacquered desk & painted floor (?)  bring just the right amount of white to visually balance the whole space...

It's been my longest break from blogging..nearly 2 months!! I have to say it was time well spent..working on my dream project. We also took a wonderful vacation for two weeks which rejuvenated me like nothing else could! Will share details of both in the coming days. Have a  great start to a lovely new week!
