Big Showers, Big Style

November 5, 2015

This large shower takes full advantage of the view. I appreciate the layout of this space.Slideshow

The perfect way to start the day (after exercising, of course) is in a shower with fabulous stream of hot water pouring over your body, eyes closed, and the fragrance of aromatic soaps permeating the shower box. How dreamy, especially if you have a large shower with a place for your amenities.

Restaurant Bathrooms

November 1, 2015

I love white tile with dark grout and the use of art in a public bathroom.Slideshow

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. Graphically, it is an engaging format and the full page photographs in both color and black and white give the reader an insight into Miles’ very personal blend of work and fantasy.
