The Guest Bathroom

In my house, we have a little bathroom down the hall once you take a left from coming inside. It's a relatively small space. The floor is covered in large, dark brown tiles that have a certain shiny quality to them. There's a sink and a toilet, and a small window. The mirror over the sink is large with a thick black frame, and three lights (the only the the room) hang over it. The sink itself rests on two minimalistic black-brown drawers with silver handles. Rather than being a cavity in the top of the counter, the sink is a box-like apparatus that sits above the surface. The walls are painted a light green-yellow color, and there's a framed painting of a leaf whose colors are enhanced and brightened to match the color of the wall. Above the toilet, there's a bas-relief image of a lion with a spear in its side.

Overall, the impression that our guest bathroom is trying to give as "artistic." Unlike the bathroom that I use more frequently, which has far less cohesive in appearance and is strewn with my things (toothpaste, hairbrush, hair dryer, washcloths, old shampoo bottles, the list is endless), the guest bathroom has a distinct style that would be disturbed by messy things such as my personal care items. With this style, of course, comes the visual argument that my parents are stylish people. They chose to make their bathroom have a matching color scheme, a unique sink, a print of a pop-art leaf, and a bas relief image of a lion with a spear in its side. In so doing, they chose to make the visual argument that they are stylish people that have good aesthetic taste, throughout our entire house, right down to the bathroom.
