Only when you add your personal touch to a bath does it take on personality and reflect individual style and taste. The display of family pictures and art in this particular picture is a great example. Many of the items seem to be vintage; each has a soft patina. The layering of textures and finishes adds considerable warmth to the space. Additionally, the small table with shelves adds practical and decorative storage.
The refined graphics and the signature blue give a hint that something special is inside.

It is so exciting to discover a shop that is both original and inspiring. MARCH located on Sacramento Street in San Francisco is just such a place. MARCH is the brain-child of Sam Hamilton, a graduate of the Ralph Lauren enterprise. It has been my must-see shop in SF for several years. In its’ first incarnation, MARCH sold European antiques and contemporary furniture; but not just any furniture. There was always something special about the pieces whether it was the finish, the scale or or the uniqueness of the design.
MacKenzie Childs' stick that is certainly whimsical.

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. Each stick has a story or two. And, her personal vision for their display is to place them all together at one end of her dining table. They make quite a statement.

I am frequently asked to describe my personal bath. I always say that my house and bath look much like me; classic, tailored and neutral. So it was most auspicious when Newell Turner asked if House Beautiful could feature my bath in the “Bath of the Month†column.   I was delighted to oblige.
