Tub Trays

How great is this bathtub setup (via Remodelista and pinned here)?!

That wood plank across the tub makes me so very happy. Here's another one (via Hearth; I blogged about this bathroom here!): 

These curved edges on this tray (via La Maison Douce) are especially beautiful (and perhaps more forgiving if bumped into!):

I was just in one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn Heights, Collyer's Mansion, and saw this great tub bar. I love its simplicity: 

Of course, I also think this would be a terrific DIY opportunity. My girl Martha writes about it here. 

Not too tough, right? And so totally chic. Now I just need a claw foot tub!

DIY I'd Like to Try: Pressed Leaves

Sarah Jessica Parker's home in Bridgehampton (as seen in Elle Decor here and pinned here) is as fabulous as one might expect. And would you believe those white tables are Ikea Lack side tables lacquered in white?! Start believing. I'm especially loving the pressed leaves on the walls:

A great DIY opportunity! I know I can be a little Martha Stewart-esque with my DIYs ("It's so simple, really..."), but this one really is so simple. There are tons of options for configuring the leaves, like this great image from Domino (pinned here):

Aren't they gorgeous? If they're pressed between the pages of heavy books (with wax paper to protect the pages!), the color will be mostly preserved and they can then be arranged in gorgeous patterns, like this image from Interiors Addict (pinned here):

The leaves could be framed in glass-on-glass (as shown above) or with a background--I love crisp white or kraft paper and a black or wood frame. Or skip the frame altogether, like in this photo from Country Living (pinned here):

The options are endless! And it's a quick and thrifty DIY to fill up the walls. Win-win :)
