Years ago, when this bath first appeared in print, we were simply awed. There are countless extraordinary details from the size and scale of the space to the lovely natural light. At a time when white was the prevailing theme for baths (actually, it still is) this was a bold statement using period details, exceptional materials and deliberate architecture. I find the design as compelling today as the day I first laid eyes on it.

I am delighted to welcome GRANT GIBSON as my guest blogger this week. After a stint in New York gaining professional design experience, he set up his own business in San Francisco in 2002. Grant has participated in the San Francisco Design Showhouse and was named one of the “10 Designers to Watch ” by Domino Magazine in 2009. Grant travels, writes and photographs for his own blog.

As part of my series on designers and their work spaces, I recently talked with Barbara Westbrook of Atlanta about her office, a charming cottage right in the center of Buckhead.

Tomorrow I leave for a 10 day holiday in Paris. The highlight of this long awaited vacation will be a 4 day walking walking tour (with friends and guides) studying classical architectural treasures, some not readily accessible to the public. Of course, I look forward to sharing some of my photos when I return after Labor Day. Happy end of summer!
