european bath vanity with glass cabinet

A heavily-framed Mansard Mirror and rustic open shelf vanity have all the charm of a European bath. The warm wood tones are a lovely complement to the steel and glass Pharmacy Bath Cabinet by Restoration Hardware. I am in love with that cabinet! It reminds me of the old fashioned pie and cake display cases found in old French bakeries, yum! Matching towels neatly folded are perfectly at home here.

Elegant Bath; Book-Matched Marble PDF Print E-mail

Elegant bathroom with bookmatched marble stone and wood panelled vanity

This elegant bathroom designed by Soucie Horner is accomplished in so many ways; the deep-hued vanity with matching panels extending to the ceiling, the timeless style, and the book-matched marble tub surround. Book-matching is more commonly seen in wood veneers, but it is just as striking, if not more when done in stone! Book-matching is seen when successive pieces of stone are arranged side by side in such a way that the pieces "mirror" one another. This example above is not only book-matched but can be considered a double book-match, or a "reverse diamond".

moulding applied

Wall Panels are a beautiful way to add visual interest to a room, and you would be surprised how simple it is to achieve! The image above is an applied moulding stained to match the wood veneer on the walls, much like a burlap moulding like this one:

This particular moulding is #00967 burlap moulding by Alexandria Moulding.

This gorgeous panel moulding looks more difficult, but just requires a 1" x 4" board flanked by a base cap moulding. What ties it all together is the painted finish.

The mouldings used here are #CR688 Base Cap, and #03186 Board.

So go for it, you don't even need to have the panels all the same size. A large bottom panel and large top panel (above a chair rail) works well, just be sure the top and respective lower panel have the same widths. For panel sizes, look at the proportion of your walls and consider framing a large piece of artwork and flanking it with narrow panels for example. Applied Panelling done well is timeless.
