As if the canopy bed in the master bedroom weren't dreamy enough, take a peek inside the master bathroom of HGTV Dream Home 2009. At the end of the long, narrow room sits a grand Victorian-style tub, offset by gleaming hardwood floors. "It certainly looks great in its own little spot," interior designer Linda Woodrum observes. "It really makes you want to jump right in and take a nice long bath."

A treat for the eyes, the bathroom's neutral palette pleases Linda. "I think a bathroom is a great place to hold the color down," she adds. "It is very difficult to put on makeup or really see how you look in the mirror if you are surrounded by strong color. A subtle, neutral color scheme goes a long way in a bathroom."

Surrounded by custom cabinetry, each sink is dressed with fresh flowers, an olive topiary, candles and luxury soaps. Oversized mirrors, fitted inside weathered wood frames and suspended from the ceiling, overlap the existing expanse of mirror. Why double mirrors? "It adds a bit of charm and makes the story more fun," Linda explains.

A top-tier cabinet shelf, accented with elegant braided corbels, is home to fluffy white bath towels.
