Salle de Bain Pour Madame ~ Ron Mummert, Florida
Only saying it in French does justice to this fabulous bathroom designed for a Diva! Its swan motif carries the elegant theme from gold swan faucets to etched mirrors to sconces and a magnificent chandelier. Even the sink and swags of silk sheers surrounding the rose- tiled tub are trimmed with delicate roses, carrying out the view of the rose garden outside. Exterior garden lighting brings daylight into the room. This entire scene steps outside the box, literally, as its base is a 12" semi circle encased in plexiglass. Ron designed it with plenty of room to add a few accessories and personal touches of your own.
$150
Class will be held at Ron's Miniature Shop ~ 751 West Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32804 Transportation will be provided from the Holiday Inn International Drive Resort. Phone 407.841.9333
