Don't put a designer in charge of photography when you're on vacation. If you do, you'll end up with a lot of pictures like the one below, some pictures of the landscape, and a few pictures of people. Just saying.
I took this photo of limestone deposits forming in a pool at Yellowstone National Park. The organic shapes, rough texture, and soft colors caught my eye. Let's focus on the colors. I could design a room, even a whole house, around the soft buff and coppery beige colors of these stones.

What would that look like? I imagine something like this bathroom with earthy white painted cabinets, a limestone countertop, and copper plumbing fixtures.

When you're putting together a room based on an inspiration photo or sketch, work with physical samples rather than pictures - it's the only way to make sure all of the colors and textures work together. In this case, you order or pick samples of: the wall paper, paint, floor tile, countertop material, and the cabinet finish.
The cabinets here, from our Modern Country collection, are painted Earthy White. You can get a free sample - yay, free! - here: GET YOUR FREE SAMPLES.
