Three themes for the bath; how do you interpret your bath?

The Classic bath includes a chandelier, seating, a neutral rug, mosaic tile and personalization.

How about the Fresh bath? Simply elegant marble tilework, brass sconces, daylight lit bathtub,  freestanding washstand, and a canvas covered classic chair create the elements of this style.

Finally a Natural bath-freestanding tub, side table for book or drink, mosaic vessel sink, botanical art.

On the website, HomeAccentsToday, I saw these beautiful bath accessories designed by Clodagh  in conjunction with Gail DeLoach (formerly Asiaphile), known for luxurious, clean accents for the home crafted in traditional Asian techniques.  Consistent with her vision, shared below, I hope they capture your eye as much as mine.

“a space cannot be truly beautiful unless it functions in harmony with who we are… it’s about pleasure: discovering what pleases us and creating an environment that will celebrate those qualities and sustain us”. Clodagh

The tantalizing description, “Inspired by the idea of bringing spa luxuries to your home, the modern Spa Collection outfits pristine pieces in glossy celadon, white and charcoal lacquer.  The Luna Collection expresses Clodagh’s interest in organic texture by combining basketwoven buntal (a sustainable palm fiber) and dark wood trim for an earthy, yet sophisticated feel. ”

Let me know if you love these accessories.  Send a comment and share your ideas.  Faith

Designer collaborations are never ending with some hugely successful and others ho hum.  I am excited to see a new collaboration which pairs the fabulous colors and patterns of Trina Turk in outdoor fabrics for F Schumacher fabrics.

From Schumacher     “Trina’s dramatic collection of indoor/outdoor prints, many of which were originally designed for her resort collections, are inspired by the poolside lifestyle of Los Angeles and Palm Springs, and also the variety of cultural influences and landscapes that are found in California. Bold geometric patterns are mixed with prints derived from natural motifs, and also designs discovered in Trina’s extensive collection of vintage apparel. The color palette of this collection is fashion-influenced; bright and breezy shades of turquoise, citron, watermelon and marine are combined with smart neutrals such as sand dune and charcoal, giving these outdoor suitable prints a thoroughly modern appeal.”

Albert Sack is himself an icon of the American antiques business.  Known for his integrity, sagely advise, friendly demeanor and expert eye, he is still actively involved in the American decorative arts community – and still routinely consulted by individuals and collectors  needing the advice or assistance of this top authority of American Antiques.

All Items From Hickory Chair
