It is a place of solace, where you can soak the day\u2019s worries away. Lock the door and forget about all the racket and run around of everyday life!<\/p>\n<p>I frequently day dream about what my dream bathroom would like, if I had the resources to have anything I wanted and the world was my oyster. My \u201cwish list\u201d bathroom as I like to put it.<br \/>\nSo, to begin with, what is the most important part of the bathroom? Well the bath of course! I have always wanted a big standalone deep bath to completely submerse myself in. This Montefresco bath from Albion Bath Co is definitely on my list:<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Montefresco-Albion-blog.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/the-wish-list-bathoom\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Montefresco-Albion-blog.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/the-wish-list-bathoom\/&text=The \u201cWish List\u201d Bathoom\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/the-wish-list-bathoom\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Montefresco-Albion-blog.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<h6><em>Photo courtesy of : <a href=\"http:\/\/www.albionbathco.com\/free-standing-roll-top-bath\/Free-Standing-Bath-Montefresco\/montefresco-freestanding-bath.html\">http:\/\/www.albionbathco.com\/free-standing-roll-top-bath\/Free-Standing-Bath-Montefresco\/montefresco-freestanding-bath.htm<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albionbathco.com\/free-standing-roll-top-bath\/Free-Standing-Bath-Montefresco\/montefresco-freestanding-bath.html\">l<\/a><\/em><\/h6>\n<p>Then comes the flooring choice. Usually I would of course opt for the wonderful Seagrass limestone that we sell. The Seagrass is such a varied product but it usually only gets considered for spaces like a bathroom and I personally feel it is more versatile than that, and I would opt to use it in other areas of my \u201cwish list\u201d home (that&#8217;s a whole other story!). Therefore for that reason, I think the floor I&#8217;d choose would actually be our beautiful Umbrian Limestone:<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Umbrian-Limestone-Ivory-Grout-blog.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/the-wish-list-bathoom\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Umbrian-Limestone-Ivory-Grout-blog.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/the-wish-list-bathoom\/&text=The \u201cWish List\u201d Bathoom\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/the-wish-list-bathoom\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Umbrian-Limestone-Ivory-Grout-blog.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p>Its beautiful textured nature would not only be attractive but practical (especially when stepping out the bath with soggy toes!). Its earthy tones would complement the copper nature of the standalone bath wonderfully! The two together would make a great statement.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cfeature\u201d wall. I always think a feature wall is a lovely thing, something to add a real bit of character to a space. Walls are canvases just waiting to be filled with inspiration and that &#8216;finishing touch&#8217;. I actually found the print for my \u201cwish list bathroom\u201d on another blog and Interior Design company called \u201cZoffany\u201d. I adore the ordained nature of this print, and the medieval feel it gives and think it would pair up beautifully with the items above:<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/016-Tespi-Gondolier-blog.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/the-wish-list-bathoom\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/016-Tespi-Gondolier-blog.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/the-wish-list-bathoom\/&text=The \u201cWish List\u201d Bathoom\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/the-wish-list-bathoom\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/016-Tespi-Gondolier-blog.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<h6><em>Photo courtesy of\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoffany.com\/blogs\/first-blog\/scenic-fabrics-and-wallpapers-adventures-beyond-pattern\/?act=ssocomplete\">https:\/\/www.zoffany.com\/blogs\/first-blog\/scenic-fabrics-and-wallpapers-adventures-beyond-pattern\/?act=ssocomplete<\/a><\/em><\/h6>\n<p>As for the rest of the walls, I (personally) think after the bold character of the feature\u00a0wall, the remaining walls should be as neutral as possible. I think a traditional Lime Wash would create the perfect finish- especially as I am trying to achieve a \u201cmiddle age\u201d vibe.<\/p>\n<p>In brief, limewash is an ancient practise where workers would crush, burn and slack limestone with water to make a lime mortar\/putty. The putty is matured for a few months before being thinned out and painted on the walls to create a chalky aged &amp; layered look.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/lime-wash4-blog.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/the-wish-list-bathoom\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/lime-wash4-blog.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/the-wish-list-bathoom\/&text=The \u201cWish List\u201d Bathoom\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/the-wish-list-bathoom\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/lime-wash4-blog.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<h6><em>Photo courtesy of\u00a0http:\/\/sanmarcopainters.com.au\/limes-wash-melbourne\/<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>Next onto lighting.
