Don't let the presence of a low ceiling stop you from bringing this great bathroom decorating idea into your house.

Where the ceiling reaches below standing-height, this homeowner has placed the bathtub (who needs to stand in a bathtub anyway?). "His and her" pedestal sinks are split up by several feet. A natural-finish pine floor gives this bathroom the clean, healthy feeling of a spa or sauna.

Make sure that you install flooring-grade knotty pine, and not the tongue-and-groove pine boards found at home improvement stores and used for walls. Even with floor-grade pine, you still need to carefully sand and seal the floor to avoid splintering.
