I'm not opposed to animal prints -- even in bathrooms -- but mixing it up like that is just...ick. It puts the whole thing over the edge. I feel like you guys, I think.

Could be very yin and yang. But that Zanzibar is psychotic and bi-poplar. There is no excuse for this combination. I actually like the Tellieur for a Eastern influence powder room.

In fact, I'm wondering if there's a version of that first one in lilac, because I'm thinking of using that color in our upstairs bathroom with a lot of very white tile. Anything, though, would be better than the attempt to 'class up' the room someone did once upon a time. They took a very countryish, rustic style bathroom and fitted it out with lots of fake gilt and bad faux marble, and a shower liner of Venetian gondoliers in gold. Ick. Oh, and none of it has aged well. Speaking of gold, I think the biggest problem with the third one isn't the animal print. It isn't the gold. It's the fact that they combined animal print, gold, and flowers in the same damn sink. Any one of the above could work nicely. Either the flowers or the animal print could have worked with the gold...but they stuck all three together when any two of the above would be on the verge of bad taste. And then they didn't go far enough to make it gloriously Vegas-tacky. They stopped just shy of that point and wound up with merely tacky. I’m reacting the same way as you are to all three.
