Bathroom Designs

I love bathrooms/ladies’ rooms/ restrooms with character.

These are bathroom photos I took somewhere the hubby and I went to and I couldn’t help but take photos no matter how blurred these turned out to be:

Bathroom Ceiling Light

Bathroom Door

The last bathroom photo I took was last Sunday with my youngest daughter (haha, a selfie no doubt) at the church were we attend Sunday mass. It was our first time to go down to the church’s public ladies’ room and I was impressed how nice it was inside. It was as if the designer looked at www.qualitybath.com/ for some inspiration.

Not only should these rooms smell fresh and clean but the bathroom fixtures inside must look good too because why else are these called “rest rooms” if not to be able to relax and feel better (LOL) after doing what needs to be done 😀

On Selfies

Are you fond of taking selfies? If you are living under a rock for the past year or so and ask what on earth is a selfie, this is what a selfie means:

Selfie means “taking a photo of oneself.” To take your own picture, you either extend your hand to make sure your face is within the frame of the front-facing camera or you stand before a mirror and take a shot of your reflection. – Taken from this article I wrote.

I’m sure all of us have taken selfie photos at one time or another and with one that we publish online or have brochure printing companies print, there are probably ten more we have in our files. How do I know?

I just know, lol.
