Hi Kellie and Kim.
First, thanks! Yes, they are both lovely bathrooms. My only issue with this is that Katie Martinez is a professional interior designer who was paid for this. I would have absolutely no issue if this was another homeowner who had wanted to re-create the look. Just for reference, here are links to Katie's Pinterest account, where she actually pinned images of my bathroom... before 'designing' the one shown here.
Hopefully that helps answer any questions about which design came first. That said, Katie is obviously talented and a successful designer, which is why this feels so icky to me. I am not an interior designer. My bathroom was designed solely and completely by me (a process I started in 2013). I sourced everything myself. I did not see a photo of someone else's bathroom, designer or otherwise, and then adapt it to my own needs. Again, it's the fact that Katie has clearly used large parts of my bathroom design as her own, got paid, and will no doubt get further business as a result, that doesn't really sit well with me.
Obviously, in the long run, none of this even matters. I'm not trying to get anything out of this, and would rather it not get any more ridiculous. But, as the one whose work and creativity was ripped off, I simply had to say something.
And Kim, for what it's worth, I've been a Desire to Inspire reader since the very beginning. I love your site and all the inspiration you and Jo provide on a daily basis!
