Design Talk & Look Book Inspiration

This dream bath is created for a woman who works hard and plays hard. A mother, wife, executive professional. Someone who appreciates the finer things in life and although quite busy with work and family, loves to relax in her own space. This is not a family bath! But a bath designed for a woman who wants to luxuriate in a feminine atmosphere, relax, have a glass of wine while bathing or reading. Yes, reading in the bath! I love books and think they give any space instant character and depth. I would have books, and beautiful, meaningful art pieces on the floating shelves. And, fresh contemporary flowers every day.

This really goes against some philosophies ( and really mine too for most of my clients) of streamlining the bath to do your business and get out. I wanted to create a bath that would be so restful and luxurious that you really could escape to it and spend time being a woman and not a busy professional or mom. Sort of harks back to the time when people bathed as an “event” and now, we really do not do this any longer. I think though, that people do want some luxury in the bath. Meaning, even on the smallest budgets you might enjoy a hand-shower or a beautiful sconce or fantastic walls treatments. I spend a lot of my time designing baths and I try to make each one unique in some way even on the smallest of budgets – finding a way to stamp the personality of the homeowner into the space even while addressing the needs of the client.

I have included a very large floor to ceiling window overlooking the beach. ( I live on the beach and it is my dream…so why not??)

I would have ample lighting….but all would be on dimmers and switched differently so that a mood can be created. I put the vanities by the large window because I believe you always need natural light by a vanity!!

This is the bath I would want if I had all the marbles in the world. My husband would just have to deal!
