Sexiest Bathroom in Town?

By reading posts like Vintage Kitchen Covet and Stone Cold Sexy, we know interior designer and Grit gal Cortney Bishop is brimming with bright ideas. Well, in the August issue of Charleston mag, we're able to see just how brilliant she can be when she fancies up a whole house.

Before we get to the A-MAZING bathroom, a little background...

Cortney worked with friends and clients Monica and Alex Opoulos to outfit this East-Coast-meets-West hybrid on Isle of Palms. It's clever how the homeowners raised the backyard up 14 feet (seen above) to reflect California ranch sensibilities while still meeting our trusty Carolina flood requirements. 

Another highlight of the 10-page spread? The three-and-a-half-foot stadium lights Cortney hung in the living room... and you gotta love her earthy palette and all that wide-open space. 

Here's the jaw-dropper. The one that had us all hunting down sea-green glass tiles and a bang-up bathroom to hang them in (vertically and floor to ceiling, no less).... 

Congrats, Cortney! The full story—including more rooms, more ideas, more inspiration—can be found in the August issue of Charleston magazine, on newsstands now.
