i never thought i would hear myself say this, but not having a budget is actually harder than having a budget. currently, the master bathroom has a lovely textured glitter, baby puke colored linoleum floor and papa georgio was kind enough to tell me to go pick out new flooring. this is a VERY small space so cost wasn't an issue (for once), but i did have to consider matching the existing white tile, tub, and cabinets. the first thing i saw was white marble and i decided on that. now finding the perfect white with the perfect gray marbleization was another story. seven hours and four tile stores later i found the perfect marble tile and even managed to get it at a contractor's price. once papa georgio saw my impeccable taste came at a reasonable price, he decided that we now needed marble countertops in the kitchen!!!!! needless to say, i ran home and started looking for kitchen inspiration and THIS is what i found....
clearly my kitchen will never be anywhere close to these but i LOVE the dark walls with the white cabinets. if i really do get the marble countertops, a backsplash of crisp white subway tiles is definitely in order along with polished chrome hardware, and dark walls. next time ya'll see this gem...
it will be more like the poor man's version of this.....
and this...............
