This is what you get when you combine opulence and technology. A backlit Amethyst stone tub deck looks absolutely divine in this application by Stone Source. Since many of the semi-precious stones are translucent, the result is a soft glow that radiates and enhances the stone's natural beauty.

IF you are partial to classic purple tones like me, then Amethyst is a perfect choice. Stone Source offers many different stones however, like Quartz, or a ravishing Red Carnelian that would be perfectly suited in any stunning commercial application like restaurant or bar.

How lovely is this backlit stone table? It is just another example of Stone Source's incomparable workmanship.

POW! BOFF! BAM! No, you aren't reading onomatopoeia's from a Batman comic, but these would be the sounds of colour and pattern coming to life from an Amy Butler Rug. Each pattern of these hand-tufted rugs are bursting with vibrancy. Gone are the wash of blah blah neutral throw rugs, kick it up a notch and live alittle, and for goodness sake add some much needed colour in your life. Oh my, these rugs do get me going don't they? This hot number is called Caracas.

And here we have Coventry and Chrysanthemum respectively.

Lacework is a bit more subdued in pale tones like cornflower blue and lemongrass greens. This would be a cottage favorite, I could base the design of an entire summer house off this one!

This pretty bath is such a shining gem, it has struck a perfect balance with cool blue-grey hues of carrara marble, mosaic tiles, blushing corals and the warmth of polished brass as well.

Polished brass is an uncommon finish selection these days, as polished nickel and gleaming chrome are usually selected, but brass clearly wins in these images photographed by Martin Cederbald. This ultra feminine bath was designed by Eva Lindh.

Planning on going with a subway tile backsplash but want it to still look interesting? Think about adding the Heath Oval tile, visually it packs a punch while keeping somewhat traditional as a subway tile look. I thought these tiles looked familiar, they were featured in the newest Sex in the City movie, see blow:

The cobalt blue in these tiles match the long-awaited special order sofa Carrie had commissioned, and are they ever stylish! You can get them at Ann Sacks.
