Holiday Hostess Gifts

November 19, 2014

Brass suddenly looks new again, particularly if it is unlaquered. Any one or all of these items will be perfect for the newly rescued bath.Slideshow

Last week I talked about getting motivated to rejuvenate the bath. With that behind me, it is time to go shopping for special holiday hostess gifts. I find myself completely distracted in large stores; countless gifts are piled on tables (often falling over) making it difficult to find that special and unique item . So, of course, I have taken myself to Waterworks where I always find just the right gifts on the highly edited and curated shelves.

The Big Book of Chic

November 19, 2014

Miles Redd loves books and the casual way he assembles them and incorporates pictures and found objects makes the space feel very personal.Slideshow

In 2012 Miles Redd created THE BIG BOOK OF CHIC, published by Assouline. His sophisticated and unique style is both playful and glamorous; it mixes high and low, a strong sense of color  and modern gestures. The entire text, quotes from famous artists, actors and authors, is printed in red and black large scale font.

Materials: Stone in the Foyer

November 18, 2014

Another beautiful example of a traditional black and white floor. It is crisp and appropriate.Slideshow

For years I have been extolling the beauty of stone for the bath. It is a natural material that comes in a huge range of sizes and colors with multiple opportunities for different surface textures. It is durable, timeless, refined and only improves with age. Clearly, I love stone. Not only is it the perfect material for the bath, but it is perfect for the entry or foyer of the house.
