At last! Our long-awaited and much-delayed Los Angeles showroom opened on December 10th. I can proudly say it was worth the wait. We have introduced our Waterworks Kitchen brand to the L.A. market with displays of our Alta and Belden cabinetry styles for the bar, laundry, pool house and mud room, as well as kitchens in wood stains and great paint colors. Each installation includes subtle or bold backsplashes, fabulous stone counters, boldly scaled pot racks, practical work tables and tempting kitchen accessories.

I was inspired to start a series on bath accessories after visiting an apartment that Thomas O’Brien designed. He is a master at re-purposing objects, and the apartment had many beautiful things that might have been found in a library — great shagreen boxes, framed family pictures, and silver or ceramic cups. Much to my delight, O’Brien placed some of these items in the bath.
