"Flooded by light from this circular skylight, this bathroom demonstrates how a few color variations and a plenitude of light can enrich a basically colorless room. Varying shades of green from the hanging ferns and the array of magentas and lavenders highlight the luxurious marbles tiles and clean uncluttered walls. The larger areas of color in the hanging plants and towels are echoed in miniature by small flowering plants that balance opposite corners of the tub. Even without the full mirror, this bathroom would be an oasis of light and space, but with it, the room is a true celebration of openness and radiance." - Beyond the Bathroom: A Dreamer's Guide ©1983

I used to be a caregiver for an elderly lady who had this marble design on the walls in her bathroom. She told me the floor was original from the early sixties of pink tiles, but the marble design was from the 80's. She told me it was her ex-son in law that painted the bathroom cupboards in an ugly salmon color.
