Great Holiday Gifts from Waterworks

/ January 18, 2012
I love the bud vase that is part of the Chatham collection. Three lined up on a dining table each with one beautiful flower is often the perfect decoration.

This light colored horn elliptical bowl is one of my favorite objects. It looks great in the bath for holding rings and watches or for serving nuts on your holiday table.
My favorite Gotham towels with white, pearl, cream or black binding.
I love these hand loomed kitchen towels. They soften with washing. The olive and mint hand soap smells divine.
This is the bath towel cum tablecloth. It looks great in black and linen or two shades of linen.
Purple is the surprisingly neutral color of the moment. This is my gift to Paul and Jack for hosting Christmas dinner.

I am not a great shopper, so whenever possible I try to make it personal and gift purchases from stores where I know I will get great service and find beautiful, unusual gifts. For me, one of those places is Waterworks. Every time I give a gift from our store I get such a delighted response.

A kitchen clad in Grove Brickworks from floor to ceiling. The texture and grid of the glazed bricks add warmth and interest to the space. This kitchen is the creation of Steven Gambrel.
A laundry tub made from soapstone with a grooved facade that adds color and texture. The brass bolts and wall mounted Easton fitting compliment the dark stone. The unlacquered brass will develop a patina in time.
Stainless sinks are great for customization. You can create a size and shape to fit any installation.
Handmade cement tiles (Promenade) are embedded with an aggregate of white marble.

A 2 x 2 blue (color: Depth) Repose glass backsplash is dramatic. The Henry shelves in unlacquered brass are perfect for a bar installation in either a residence or commercial installation.
An assortment of materials that would make great backsplashes.
Durable floors, both modern and rustic, are available from a large assortment of materials suitable for heavily trafficked areas of the house.
And, don't forget those all important decorative lights in the kitchen, bar and laundry.

LIVING WELL is the story we tell in our newly launched Kitchen & Bar brochure. While we are well known for our commitment to the bath, we also have a robust assortment of fittings, sinks, surfaces and furnishings for the kitchen.

The ink formula is calculated by an ink master and is the reason that the color has such clarity.
An experienced pressman checking the pages before sending through the press.
Inspecting the pages as they come off the press for color and clarity.
Ready for recycling.
Here is the before. The brass ingots on a table and out of context.

These are spouts as they come out of the molds. They require many steps before they are complete.
This photo shows the beautiful proportions of our assortment of spouts and handles that make up the complete fitting. You can see how much work needed to be done before a spout is box ready.
We gathered all kinds of surface materials from ceramic tile to glass and stone.
This photo was designed to show only a small range of sizes, textures and finishes of our surfaces assortment.
We gathered many towel textures in preparation for the HERITAGE BOOK.

I don’t like to use this blog as a platform for promoting products from Waterworks.

I, personally, spend way too much time thinking about the perfect gift and then have to scurry at the last moment. So here are some never fail suggestions available in the Waterworks stores or online.
