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.

MacKenzie Childs' stick that is certainly whimsical.Slideshow

My dear friend, Carole Glaser, the shopping bag collector, accumulator of hats, pictures, pins and other original vintage shop finds has a delightful collection of candlesticks that I could not resist photographing.

Light For Your Bath

November 7, 2010

But there is one thing I know for certain; you can never have too much light in your bath for applying makeup, taking out splinters and all those other eye straining rituals. It is a great bonus if your bath has natural light.  You can enjoy the seasonal shifts from bright morning light in the spring and summer to soft evening light in the fall and winter.
