Sure, your home’s primary bathroom should reign supreme when it comes to renovation and makeover priorities. If you have more than one bathroom, it’s the one you’ll use the most, so, of course you want it to be comfortable, serene, stylish, functional… all those things.
That often leaves the guest bath as a second fiddle. You might paint it, add some cool fixtures, put in some fluffy towels, display some fancy soap on the counter, but most homeowners might not put too much thought into the design. Well, today’s room tour feature might make you rethink that.

Located in a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom home in the Lake Street neighborhood of San Francisco, this guest bathroom is a real stunner. And it wasn’t a total fixer-upper originally—it had been renovated recently by the previous homeowners and featured nice fixtures, marble tile floors and shower walls, and a modern new tub. But the new owners—a young couple with great design taste—wanted the space to reflect more of their personality and tastes.

Joseph, PhD, associate professor of turfgrass and ornamentals, department of entomology, at theUniversity of Georgia. “They release pheromones for mating so you’ll typically see them congregating on the side of a building, often near a light.”

This Vintage-Inspired Home Is Better Than the Barbie Dreamhouse
A couple of the Sunset editors were talking about the Barbie Dreamhouse the other day. And we had a hot take: Although it’s an iconic home (with a slide, pool, and a color palette that childhood dreams were made of), it’s not the most attractive-looking space from an interior design or architecture standpoint. Sure, it has some touches of mid-century modern style and an extremely cohesive color palette, but we think not very many people would want to live there IRL. On top of that, it doesn’t really look homey or comfy. And all of that’s okay, because the house is for a doll and make-believe moments. What’s a human who wants to live out their Barbie fantasies to do?
