I am always surprised when I see a shower or a tub installation that does not have a hand shower. I have no idea how either can be cleaned without this admirable device. I am sure that there was a time when a hand shower was an exotic add on to an already expensive project. However, the small additional cost is easily balanced by its function.

My friend, George Champion, is a mid-century furniture and accessories dealer extraordinaire and a perfectionist. We have purchased many vintage credenzas, chairs and tables from him during the past few years. He is also the source of very special gifts for my sons. His shop, in Woodbury, CT, is a perfectly proportioned small white building that is the right scale for his artful displays of icons of modern design and his slightly quirky assortment of Italian objects often purchased when he travels to Milan for the Salone de Moblii.

I am so excited to introduce you to Tim Campbell, LA designer and friend. I think you will enjoy his post. ———————————————————————————————- Bathrooms are the most intimate and sacred spaces I can design for a client. The ritual of bathing is as culturally significant as some of our religious practices. From a personal perspective, bathrooms are our first foray into the world after a night of sleep. In that regard, a beautiful bath serves a functional purpose as the experience can set the tone for the day to follow.

The word “backsplash” is almost always associated with kitchens. I like to think of them not only for kitchens but for pantries, bars, laundry rooms, garden rooms, and bathrooms behind sinks and bathtubs.
