This is hugely important to me that’s why I wanted to choose firsthand everything that is going to go in that tiny room. The bathroom I have in mind is well thought out and planned well. I want a certain look. When I was vacationing in Boracay, I happened to use one of the comfort rooms of a resort hotel there. Sadly, I can’t remember which one. What I remembered was the tile they used. How it was so beach-y. I want to recreate that in my own bathroom. Besides, aside from the bedroom, it is where we begin our day.

We also looked at some faucets, knobs and shower.  Others can be costly.  But I’m opting for the inexpensive one.  But I haven’t decided on that yet.  I want to check out other options in the market, and these two, were the only ones I saw that fit my ‘vision’ for my bathroom.

the one on the left is way cheaper than the one on the right but style-wise, they seem to be on the same level
