I have to, um, hand it to Cecil Beaton. He was awfully creative. The walls of his guest bathroom were adorned with outlines of his guests' hands (painted by Beaton, of course) that were signed by the respective hand's owner as well. Not for everyone, but it is a humorous take on the ubiquitous guest book.

Now this is different! Love it. Have a nice weekend.

Genius.
ReplyDeleteVery chic indeed. But it takes a talent like Beaton to pull it off. Otherwise, it could look like graffiti!
ReplyDeletepretty neat. just have to show you this...because they are so similar, when I first saw your image my heart skipped a little...

You have inspired me-love your posts. Take a look at my blog According to Braswell
ReplyDeleteJust brilliant! I'd love to do the same in my guest bathroom (when I actually have one!)

Nice to see what folks of this ilk do in their own surroundings.
ReplyDeleteVery original and cute
ReplyDeleteI always love a touch of whimsy in a room-such a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteSuper clever and yet a smidge creepy. Certainly a conversation starter!
ReplyDeleteCertainly clever,and certainly somewhat creepy as Grammercy Home points out. But far more interesting than the New Yorker covers that my mother's friends papered their powder-rooms with in the 1960s. Reggie
ReplyDeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteSo unique! These things can go really wrong or really right...this is wonderful. I was just at B&B 2 weeks ago and the owner asked us to sign a cotton kitchen towel. She then embroiders the names on the towel and when it's full uses it in her guest suites!
