Inspiration comes in the strangest places. I took this picture at the Buffalo Bill Cody Dam Visitor Center in Wyoming. It's a core sample of the original concrete used in the dam. I love the colors and textures in the concrete and different stones the dam's builders used.

Here's where this fascinating study in concrete and stone led me. It's a thoroughly masculine and dramatic bathroom in black, gray, taupe, and brown. I think it's appropriate as Wild Bill Cody was a man's man if ever there was one, and he wasn't opposed to showing off a bit. The floor is a natural stone mosaic, the cabinets are painted black, the countertop is granite, and the walls are a matte taupe.
Part 1 and part 2 of this blog series feature this same bathroom but with different walls, floors, cabinets, and countertops. Check 'em out.
