What I'm understanding about myself is I'm a less or even more less kind of gal. What a wonderful gift you have.
Love seeing the variety. I know I like concepts from the more bathrooms like separate tub and shower, but all the other parts as less or more less. Happen to be on a short, short vacation in a cottage at the beach and it’s tiny & I could definitely live in something like this, except the bathroom 🤣. Need some more space and a tub lol.
