Full Fathoms Five Thy Father Lies

And now for something completely different. My posts have tended toward the woods and wild of faerie. But there's an entire ocean of myth out there as well to dive into for inspiration!!

Someone (I'm so sorry I can't remember who!!) posted this picture to the Domythic Bliss FB group of a beautifully lacy pearl and shell corner:


Of the Little Mermaid (Disney) rooms I've seen, this one is my favorite. Imagine having this room as a little girl:


Or um, you could just have enough money to have an entire aquarium built around your bedroom...


I seem to recall this grotto bathroom was from Neuschwanstein Castle. I could very likely be wrong:


Or you could sleep surrounded by open water. Quite risky for sleepwalkers and groggy mornings:


Or sleep on the half shell:


I found the below image to be more practically inspirational. I love the way they used blue organza for the curtain, mimicking the shimmer of light in the water:


Merle Pace's beautiful underwater bathroom she helped create for a friend: Grapevine on the walls resemble coral and seaweed, and glass fish hang all around.


Mermaid and ocean themes are pretty common for bathrooms, but I thought the soft colors and the pale mermaid statue of this incarnation below made it quite inspiring:


Oops...Mr Octopus is reminding me not to forget our more Jules Vernesque friends:


How about a submarine underwater home theater?




Or this sublimely beautiful dining room? This one also, while extremely gorgeous and elaborate, is inspirational for any room I think. Their use of the dim lighting, the color green instead of blue, and the patterns on the ceiling and walls really give it a different sort of look from the other undersea rooms, and yet entirely oceanic.
