Home Design Ideas - Crazy with Tile!

I recently ran into a photo of a simple bathroom design that I wanted to share with you.  It's a really skinny, small, simple, unique and fantastic powder room within a 1910 Georgian Mansion in San Francisco.  Check it out below.
This powder room is a contrast of the very modern and the very ornate.  It starts off as a very spare space with almost awkward proportions.  Add to that the modern wood vanity, vessel sink and faucet.  This is contrasted by the "crazy" - but well designed tile pattern, reinforced by the stained glass window and the ornate mirror. 
Detail view of the tile pattern.  I cannot imagine the man-hours that went into this.   But you have to admit it's very cool.
All in all a very quirky but beautiful powder room.  So todays lesson is this:
  1. Keep it simple but pay attention to the details.
  2. A contrast of styles can be very dramatic.
