a true bathroom sanctuary
Every time we’ve been able to stay at a Ritz Carlton, I have always loved the bathrooms. They make me feel so elegant. I always said when we built our next house, that I wanted to have a glamorous bathroom like the Ritz. I started by doing venetian plaster on the walls, just in pure white. I used Carrera marble on all the floors and counter tops.
