Rough luxe is the design word of the moment, and this bathroom (via CountryLiving.com) illustrates some of the principles. We like the way the owners mixed glam touches (gold leaf trim) with vintage and utilitarian elements (a utility sink, for example).
A strip of gilding at the base of the tub adds a touch of glamour; a Sampler Gilding Kit (covers approximately 10 square feet) is available at Caromalcolours.com for $40.
A length of knotted rope serves as a door handle.
The owners left the markings from the salvage yard on the vintage door.
