We are currently renovating our bathroom, something that I'm super excited about, as it's been a looong time coming. Our home is a constant work in progress, and we've left the bathroom and kitchen until last. These are usually costly spaces to renovate, and I wanted to do it right.

I'm a big fan of marble, especially the soft and subtle patterns found in Carrera marble, and would've loved to have included it in our new bathroom. Unfortunately my husband doesn't share that love! He thinks of marble as being old fashioned, and even though I showed him countless images of marble in cool, contemporary settings, he still wouldn't sway!

Actually, I tell a lie... he did sway a little bit, and nearly gave in. But I could tell his heart wasn't really in it, and I want him to be as excited as me with the end results. So although I won't be having a marble bench top or tiles, I've decided I can still get my marble fix throughout our home, just in smaller doses.

These are all very cool options, but I may even take it a step further and get this gorgeous marble top side table. Yes, love it! What about you... are you a fan of marble?
