These days there’s a lot of cool new stuff going on in the bathroom design world, but one of the wildest new trends I’ve seen is bathroom sinks made out of wood. Sounds a little weird, right, or maybe even ill advised? But these sinks are not only well designed (read: waterproof!) but they’re also […]

I’m a big fan of bathroom chandeliers. A huge fan, even, and not just certain bathrooms, but almost any bathroom big enough to justify one. Modern bathrooms, vintage bathrooms, country bathrooms, you name it – the right chandelier can do wonders for your bathroom ambiance. Really, this stems from my deeper love of lighting fixtures, […]

Seasons come and go and design trends change right along with them. So even if you’re in the habit of updating your home regularly, last year’s words of wisdom usually don’t still apply. And if it’s been even longer since you’ve updated your bathroom, it can be even harder to figure out what’s hot and […]

As much as I can sometimes be a sucker for high design, deep down in my heart of hearts, I’m a little bit of a scavenger. I love old furniture and fixtures, both the great antique finds and the fixer uppers (and the process of breathing new life into them!). In that vein, today I […]

It’s the age old question of bathroom design, and probably the one that depends the most on your personal taste: shower curtains or shower doors?

At its core, Parisian chic design is an homage to the fashion and luxury – past and present – of the City of Light, and a way to bring a little slice of it into your home. It’s one part modern, one part antique, and all about luxury and style. As with any theme, Parisian […]

There’s nothing more beautiful than furniture made with high quality, exotic wood. The very best wood has its own natural luster, with intricate natural patterns and deep, varied colors, and even a little natural shimmer and shine – no stain needed.

One of the biggest problems with modern bathroom vanities – and, really, modern bathroom design as a whole – is that the minimal design and industrial palette tend to err a little on the side of stark, cold, and even sterile. That said, if you give your bathroom design a creative eye, it’s more than […]
