What do you think about this bathroom? Would you have done a different wall color?

Looks great, all except the decor of the open shelf. But overall a nice combination and the violet works well.

That is one ambitious tub base! I love the Classical detailing but the material choices confuse me just a little. The view looks a bit like Big Sky country and maybe that explains it.
Firstly, why oak? It seems such a rustic material for a shape with such refined lines. The faux antique copper filler also looks a bit less than elegant. Otherwise the lavender décor makes perfect sense. Overall a nice tub even if it's slightly OTT.

What do you think of double-glazed windows?

You are right again, Pheobe! We sort of tricked them: we only put single glazing on the ground floor windows, the rest of the house (and back) are double glazed and all our windows have shutters (way better than secondary glaze!! :)) Our argument was that whoever is looking at the area would not notice that we have double glazed windows at first and second floor. Don't get me wrong - I love living in a conservation area and do my best to follow the rules - it all comes to respecting and enjoying the place you live in and I, as most of my neighbours, recognise this. However, I am aware that not everybody thinks the same and some would carelessly ignore its importance if rules weren't in place. What I find irritating is the lack of flexibility and the contrary, even hypocritical rules imposed by some county councils. There's always a happy medium, it's just that they seem to have missed that class. PS: Let's not forget the safety issue; it's harder to break the glass in a double glazed window than a single one.

Thanks to all for the laugh out loud - literally - enjoyment in this latest banter. I do love this forum so much! If anyone thinks they can't wear a particular colour take a look at Zandra Rhodes!!!

I like this colour, it`s fresh and brings light in. I would rather use it on accessories rather than painting the whole wall of it. Greenery is great when combined with raw wood like in this image showing our Emeco 111 Navy Dining Chairs in Grass, available in our store. http://www.e-side.co.uk/product/Emeco_111_Navy_Chair_GRASS

What do you think about painting?

I also think it is hung up a tad too high, but I think it works well since the table and chairs are dark. The lamp might be centred so that it is illuminating the painting and creates a layered effect. although the ideal way to do it is to use a spot light. But you don't need to make your house into a museum gallery, so I think you should have some freedom.

I agree that the base is a bit too formal for the rustic fixtures, but it's still a gorgeous bathroom. I also like the lavender color, and am happy to see something besides the '50 shades of gray.'

I think the lavender works and looks beautiful! I also love the look of the rustic wood with the more classic design. My only concern would be the material used in the niche. I might have gone with a white stone.
