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!

When I was single I was more adventurous with my design palette, when I started having children I became more practical. The result over the past 15 years has led me to live a very “layered” life. Full of treasures and memories from the many different influences and experiences I have had. “ (Source)

Kitchen Design Look Book: Style Maker Paul Anater’s Design Notes

image142Paul Anater’s Style Maker Look Book: Kitchen

clip_image0031If it’s possible to have a favorite metal, mine would be bronze. Here’s a bronze sink from Rocky Mountain Hardware.

clip_image0042This faucet is something we’d call a high-arc bridge faucet. This beauty is from Perrin and Rowe (at Rohl) and it’s even more beautiful in polished chrome.

clip_image00211This is a slab of Calacatta Gold marble. Marble counters are widely available but the key to using marble is to find a local supplier who can work with it successfully. You can learn more about marble and marble fabrication at the Marble Institute of America’s consumer website.

 clip_image00811A great kitchen deserves a great range and this Legacy by Aga is one of my current favorites.

image411The floor plan calls out for the perfect backsplash mosaic and one of my favorite resources for them is New Ravenna Mosaics.

image2 You can spend a fortune on cabinet hardware but it’s not always necessary. I find surprisingly beautiful selections at Restoration Hardware regularly.

clip_image00111This is an inset door style from Dura Supreme called Bella and it’s been painted an off-white.

 

image I love using wood floors and no wood sings to me quite the way walnut does. This floor is from Carlisle Wide Plank Floors.

image11With this kitchen, the walls are calling out to be painted in a near-neutral blue and no one comes close to Sherwin-Williams‘ palette when it comes to neutrals and near-neutrals. 

image A great kitchen deserves great lighting and a great lighting plan needs a focal point. I love the idea of using a chandelier in a kitchen and this Villeneuve from Vaughan Designs fits the bill nicely.

clip_image01211 I have been on a kitchen table kick lately and I love the idea of combining some of the function of an island with a table. This walnut table is from Spekva and its top is actually a cutting board.

clip_image0131I enjoy eclecticism a great deal and a utilitarian table like that needs a fanciful chair. No one makes better wooden chairs than Thos. Moser. These are Moser’s Pasadena chairs. image81 All great rooms need original art and a terrific resource for original paintings is Zatista.

clip_image01911

And no kitchen’s complete without a cook’s chair, a term I picked up from the talented Sarah Lloyd Kitchen Clarity in San Francisco. This chair is the Elaine from Henredon.

clip_image01511A kitchen table needs a carpet and this wool Kilim, also from Vaughan Designs would be perfect in the room I’m building. It has the feel of grass cloth but with the warmth of wool.
