A connecting bath adjoins the two upstairs bedrooms. Designers Joci Firth and Cullen Albright took a novel approach to this bath's wall treatment--covering walls with brown kraft paper. "You can buy this paper by the roll for about $30 at an office-supply store and bond it to the walls with natural wheat paste," Cullen advises. The grocery-bag brown creates a surprising alternative to wallpaper.
Another surprise found in this bathroom is the wall of hanging straw baskets, hung from three stainless bars, that stores towels and various bath supplies. Not only are the baskets practical, but they're easy to install too. The project took less than an hour to complete.
