I just got this book and I have to say that I really enjoy it. That being said, I do agree with some of the negative reviews here also, insofar that people are unhappy with amount of practical ideas it presents. I would say, if you are remodeling your bathroom and are looking for a how-to book, decor-wise, then this is probably not the book for you. But if you just enjoy getting new design ideas and just being creatively stimulated, then you should definitely purchase this – the imagery is gorgeous, and it has already given me loads of ideas for my own house as a whole. So: not perfect, but still worth buying!

It’s about time!!! I’ve been waiting for a book like this for years. Pottery Barn Bathrooms has to be the most beautiful book on this subject that I’ve ever seen. The book features lots and lots of clean, classic, and lovely ideas for bathrooms. I especially enjoyed the section on using colors, which talks about core colors, basic colors, and accent colors. I highly recommend this book. You won’t be able to put it down!

I bought this book because it has the exact look I want for my bathrooms–traditional bridge faucets, vintage type toilets, white tiles. I got few ideas for my dressing room layouts. But where s the resource guide for all those wonderful faucets? I don’t think Pottery Barn sells those? I agree you’d get the same info and design inspiration from their catalogs. Not very practical.

My husband and I are building a house and I was looking for bathroom ideas. Well this book is for you if you like painting every speck of your woodwork white (what ever happened to natural wood? ), want a castiron or claw foot tub and are into strangeness like putting your bathtub in the living room! I guess I’m just a little too mainstream for this. Most of the ideas in this book are just way too impractical… This book pictures this hottub I guess you’d call it, that is actually a concrete box…I want a hottub in my new bathroom but I’m looking for comfort, that concrete box looks like a cold water coffin. This book also features this bathtub in the living room idea. Hmmm call me crazy but why on earth would you want to do that? Theres also pictures of an outdoor bath in a watering trough!!! I was really hoping for some ideas I could use. Silly Me!!!
I’m sending this book back, there’s absolutely nothing in it I can use.
