One of the most beautiful books to cross my desk recently is NOMA, TIME AND PLACE IN NORDIC CUISINE. It is a much appreciated gift from Fred Wilson and Elissa Morgante of Morgante Wilson Architects in Evanston, IL–tendered in appreciation for their participation in the Design Leadership Summit.
Water and fish; very bathroom worthy. Notice the soft taupe upon which the fish swim.

I am not really a “trend” person, but I would have to be blind not to notice all the fabulous wallpapers being installed now, especially in powder rooms. I can’t think of a better place to experiment with some funky wall covering than a small bath. The drama ratio is high and the expense can be low because so little material is needed.
Occasional splashes of bright color can liven any room of the house. In the bath, the splashes can be temporary with the addition of a seasonal towel collection.

I have written at least one blog about white as my favorite color and will likely write more. My friend, Eric Mandil, has also recently written about color on The Perfect Bath. However, I was recently in Washington, DC and went to an early fall farmers market and then to the American Art Museum in the National Portrait Gallery. I was so inspired by the shades and tones of Fall and the great modern art that I decided to write about color and lots of it.
