Outdoor showers can be a luxurious choice.

This San Miguel home was in the colonials section of ABC Realty.

Don't remember where I got this, one of the first bathroom pictures I ever saved and still one of my favorites.

Even when you throw oodles of money at a bathroom, I think it's the huge window (ok, and wood floor and warm-toned lighting) that gives it that luxury look.

You don't have such a great view? Afraid the neighbors will see in? Build a wall around it showcasing a 3-foot or 6-foot deep garden. The window will still make the bathroom and allow light in.

Or frost the giant window. You'll have still have lots of mood-happy artistic-looking natural light streaming in, save on electricity. Remember it's wall-to-wall that gives the window that special look, and turns your bathroom into a boutique, not the color of your towels.

I cannot stand bathrooms that pretend to make over by changing the color scheme or scattering a few specialty tiles around the wall. It's still living in a glorified cave! Windows rule!

If you can't get a giant window in, putting it up high over head level where the roof is raised, (sorry can't describe it or link to a picture, I saw this in a house in space-starved Hongkong), just having plenty of natural light in your bathroom during the day makes it a rejuvenating place.

Create a decadent outside shower with an artisticly tiled wall. It'd be good in the summer. And you could water all the plants at the same time. Of course, you wouldn't be able to continue this after Google starts providing live satellite ...

I've always thought that even if you had to throw a bathroom together outside, there's got to be a way to make it heart-soothingly luscious to look at; that recognizing beauty comes from a know-it-when-you-see-it hunger inside, not from how many dollars you have to throw at it.

Even on a bare budget you could have a floor like this, and a wooden tub. It doesn't require a space age shower capsule.

Granted, the metal tub is the star, but I thought I'd make a point about the floor.
