<span style="font-size: large;">We like make-overs just as much as our customers do! Lately, we have been displaying some new items in our showroom to change the scenery a little bit. We have always had a great selection of wall sconces for the bath on display, but did you know that we also can order pendant lights for over your kitchen islands? </span><span style="font-size: large;">And dramatic chandeliers for your bathrooms and living spaces?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We love this bubble inspired orb from <a href="http://www.hudsonvalleylighting.com/">Hudson Valley</a> that we recently installed over a new-to-the-showroom soaking tub. The silver finish on the outside of the tub is sleek and elegant. Beneath it, we are planning to add an equally luxe carpet from <a href="http://www.landryandarcari.com/index.php">Landry and Arcari.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We also have some new recessed mirror cabinets on display. Typically our mirrors are shown with mirror side kit options even though they can be installed as recessed. We are now hoping to create more vignettes in the showroom with the mirrors built-in as you would expect to see them in your home. This particular brand also has some gorgeous Venetian mirrors in their collection, so just ask if you are leaning towards this type of design style.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you follow us on <a href="http://instagram.com/designerbath">Instagram,</a> you will often see showroom updates as they happen. Last week we added a head/back rest accessory to our <a href="http://wetstyle.ca/">WetStyle</a> display. When you just don’t want to get out of the tub, this piece will truly enhance the relaxation experience! The wall mount cube system provides additional storage options within arm’</span><span style="font-size: large;">s reach. We also put one of their shower bench options in the showroom. It’</span><span style="font-size: large;">s a great piece to add to a shower or freestanding within the bath room.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Often times we are able to introduce exclusive pieces in our showroom, like this “Thatcher” bath vanity with copper basin. Besides experiencing in real life the latest design trends in kitchens and baths, another benefit of shopping in our showroom is our pricing labels. We have been working diligently to price all of our vignettes and fixtures so that our customers can quickly determine which pieces will be at the top of their project wish list. Some pieces are marked as take home today (gray tags) while others are special order (orange tags). </span><span style="font-size: large;">All of our experienced and knowledgeable sales consultants can help you discover how to best accomplish your goals in your desired time frame and within your budget range.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Who says a bathroom can’t get decked out for the holidays? We’re not talking traditional reds and greens as much as bits of designer bling like we recently saw at the <a href="http://glenmagnafarms.org/">Glen Magna Farms</a> Designers Holiday Show House in Danvers. Held December 1st – 15th, this show was a fundraiser for the Danvers Historical Society in its continued efforts to renovate and preserve this historic property. The show, which relied on over a dozen design professionals to transform the estate, had four bathrooms on the tour. Each offered some fabulous styling tips and unique design solutions for the hard working – and frequently visited – very important room of the house.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When challenged with an old and worn checkerboard vinyl floor in the second floor powder room, Candy Weston of <a href="http://westondesignvt.com/">Weston Design</a> knew just what to do. She enlisted the artistic talents of Karen Ward of <a href="http://nantucketdecorativepainting.com/">Nantucket Decorative Painting</a> and the two of them completely changed the look of the room with a vintage stencil pattern. Protected by several coats of varnish, it will stand up to years worth of visitors beautifully. Adorned with a sparkly white floral arrangement, flickering pillar candles, and silver mercury glass votives this space shined for the holidays. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The final bathroom in the estate was the first floor powder room which I personally took on to re-design. Tucked under the stairway, it had short ceilings on one side and on the other side a necessary heating duct ran from floor to ceiling. After weeks of trying to figure out what to do with this elephant in the room, it occurred to me that the pole looked similar to a tall thin tree (especially with its bumpy bark-like peeling paint surface). Inspired by a vintage fabric depicting a woodland scene that I had chosen for the room’s new window treatment, I had Mary Taggart of <a href="http://taggartstudio.com/">TaggArt Studio</a> paint the pole to look like a birch tree, much like one would see in the surrounding gardens of the Glen Magna Farms estate. Mary’s beautifully done faux finish was a design solution that surprised and delighted visitors. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes starting with simple decorative touches can make the biggest difference.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Other new and improved features in this tiny powder room included a set of vintage-style polished chrome hot and cold pillar taps from our showroom, a wall-to-wall woven vinyl floor covering called <a href="http://www.landryandarcari.com/GalleryOverview.php?f=Woven-Vinyl">Bolon</a> </span><span style="font-size: large;">(water and stain resistant)</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">via Landry and Arcari, and a tailored sink skirt in a soft gray Barbara Barry indoor/outdoor fabric from <a href="http://kravet.com/">Kravet</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Congratulations to all the participating designers and to the <a href="http://www.danvershistory.org/">Danvers Historical Society</a> for their collaborative efforts to transform Glen Magna Farms while raising much needed funds for the continued preservation of this historic property. Now that the show is over, the estate is ready to book future events for weddings and special occasions. Schedule a tour to see it for yourself. If you visit in the warmer months, be sure to step outside to walk the landscaped grounds. There is just as much beauty to discover beyond the mansion’</span><span style="font-size: large;">s doors!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A classic gray and white bath is the perfect counter point to an infusion of the warm and vibrant Pantone color of the year, Radiant Orchid. Layering in colors like deep amethyst and soft pink – close to orchid on the color wheel – is a great way to add depth to a design that features this stylish hue.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">While last year we enjoyed <a href="http://designerbath.blogspot.com/2012/12/design-forecast-going-green.html">Emerald Green</a> in our fashions and furnishings, in 2014 we have lots of Radiant Orchid coming down the runways and into our homes. Including orchid in our wardrobes may not require much of a commitment, however when considering dressing the bath it is best to stick with touches of these on-trend colors. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Trying to come up with an out-of-the-box holiday gift idea for that special someone? Significant others can be the most difficult to buy for, especially when there is a house-to-do-list vying for attention both during and after the holidays. Why not consider crossing two items off your lists by giving a gift card that allows the receiver permission to enjoy the gift of luxury every day. A soaking tub with aroma therapy like the one above from Bain Ultra, is one way to extend the giving season throughout the years to come.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Creating a spa-like experience at home is one way to give the gift of wellness. Incorporating a steam shower into a personal residence can be done at the design stages of a project as well as retro-fitted into an existing shower. The health benefits of steam therapy include muscle relaxation, improved blood circulation, release of toxins, allergy and asthma relief, and even more restful sleep. Talk about a gift that keeps on giving!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bling can come in all forms, even paired with polished chrome. Adding a bit of sparkle to the bath in the form of Swarovski crystal finials on faucets and towel holders, or rock crystal wall sconces, is an attainable luxury that elevates everyday rituals. When installed in a first floor powder room, this brilliant element of surprise will be a gift for guests as well. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We were split up into a number of groups and then set up at different work stations, with each table filled with an abundance of fresh ingredients and the latest cooking gadgets. Fortunately each of our groups had a Eurostove chef on hand to share proper techniques along with flavor combination strategies. Our job was to create a complete menu of choices, ranging from soup to salad to main courses to desserts.</span></div>

The underdog meal (as in no one wanted to come up with a vegetarian dish) ended up taking first place for its presentation and flavorful combinations.

<span style="font-size: large;">1. Loo is always there for you. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">2. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Loo respects your privacy.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">3. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Loo does not judge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">4. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Loo inspires a feeling of lightness and well-being.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">5. </span><span style="font-size: large;">What happens in the Loo, stays in the Loo.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Blog author disclaimer: OK, technically #5 does not really happen, since modern plumbing – as most of us know it – efficiently takes care of any business that is left, um, behind.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">While this may not be the most glamorous of blog posts, no one can deny that without the luxury of the loo, every day life would certainly be a lot less comfortable.

<span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">To know them is to love them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Did you know that the invention of the toilet has actually saved more human lives than any other invention in history? Did you know that 2.5 billion people around the globe still do not have access to a toilet? And that illnesses that are a direct result of poor sanitation are the 2nd largest cause of death of children in developing countries? This is why World Toilet Day is important. Because toilets can save lives. And that</span><span style="font-size: large;">’</span><span style="font-size: large;">s worth talking about. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The goal of World Toilet Day is to create an environment where sanitation needs can be discussed openly and honestly. By opening this taboo topic up for discussion, we can find ways to work together to make life better for others.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“</span><span style="font-size: large;">Houzz, Pinterest and Instagram are great tools that help to shorten the sales cycle and enable us to service clients at a higher level. Immediately the client is able to paint us a picture of exactly what they are trying to achieve. Pictures are worth a thousand words!</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">“</span><span style="font-size: large;">The DPHA conference was a time to explore opportunities for our business. I walked away energized about all the future possibilities. As a result of the conference, we’ll be adding a brand new faucet line to our offerings and expanding on several of our existing lines. I’m confident each will be a huge hit with our customers. Our industry is moving faster than ever. It’s critical decorative showrooms keep up with trends and all the innovation this great industry has to offer. DPHA helps us do that so we can offer our customers the very best.</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

Eight distinct properties, ranging from newly renovated, to an old world style estate, to an historic 1742 charmer, were opened up to hundreds of visitors who were invited to tour the heart of the home, the kitchen. Many <a href="http://www.salemplumbing.com/">Salem Plumbing Supply</a> fixtures were discovered on our day long journey that provided us with a glimpse of what</span><span style="font-size: large;">’</span><span style="font-size: large;">s trending in our neighbor</span><span style="font-size: large;">’</span><span style="font-size: large;">s kitchens.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">White ceramic apron front farmhouse sinks were popular on the tour this year. They are very </span><span style="font-size: large;">“</span><span style="font-size: large;">New England style,</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span><span style="font-size: large;"> and provide plenty of room to wash oversized pots and pans. A sink grid on the bottom prevents potential surface scratching while reducing the overall depth of the sink for additional dishwashing comfort. Sink grids are available either in stainless steel or vinyl covered options.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bar sinks or prep sinks were also in many of the kitchens. Installing a second sink in a kitchen island for use when the main one is occupied is always helpful. Including one in a remote corner, such as in a separate butler<span style="text-align: center;">’</span>s pantry, is a great way to add additional function to a storage area. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One of the benefits of a wall or deck mounted pot-filler is the ability to fill a large pot with water where it actually is going to be used. Locating a pot-filler by the stovetop eliminates 50% of most heavy lifting, since that same pot will still have to be brought to the sink for draining. Being able to save a few steps during the cooking process is a time saver, while also serving individuals with reduced hand strength.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our ability to navigate comfortably through our homes on a daily basis was the topic of discussion at a <a href="http://services.bostonglobe.com/consumer/dne/default.aspx">Design New England</a> Design Salon that we hosted earlier this month in our Beverly showroom. Three guest speakers – Lisa Bonneville of <a href="http://www.bonnevilledesign.com/">Bonneville Design,</a> Leo Chantre of <a href="http://stoneprojectsnewengland.com/">Stone Projects,</a> and Mark Doughty of <a href="http://www.thoughtforms-corp.com/">Thoughtforms</a> – joined us to share what they know about designing a home with accessibility in mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While some think of Universal Design as preparation for Aging in Place, the real plus side of planning ahead for possible limited mobility is that spaces designed with universally accessible features actually benefit a variety of ages and abilities. From the very young to the elderly, to those with temporary or long-term physical challenges, the principles of universal design improve quality of life by creating environments that are safe and comfortable. For those who want to remain in their homes as long as possible, preparing ahead may actually save money in the long term, by avoiding the expense of having to move into an assisted living facility.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We asked designer Lisa Bonneville to share the story behind her award-winning master bath that featured universal design products from our showroom. Lisa is the author of <a href="http://www.asid.org/content/safe-home-designing-safety-home-1">The Safe Home,</a> and is an expert on creating lifelong interiors. Lisa explained how there are many thoughtful options available today for universally designed spaces. Gone are the days of commercial looking grab bars and sterile environments. Homeowners can age safely and comfortably in their homes and still satisfy their design sensibilities.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />We had a full house for this event, and a number of people with physical challenges who rely everyday on accessibility through universal design were in the crowd and generously shared their unique points of view.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We thoroughly enjoyed presenting this very important topic for discussion and are always happy to assist our customers in discovering the best fixtures and accessories for a safe, efficient, and beautiful bath. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While we may be separated by about 3,000 miles and a significant difference in wardrobe styling, interior design choices on the West Coast appear to be very similar to what is available throughout East Coast showrooms. New Englanders may lean toward more traditional looks to fit within the framework of our older homes, and our vibe may not be as minimalist in nature, but it is nice to see that we still have access to the same types of high-style bath products that our sun-kissed neighbors get to enjoy.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Visiting a tile showroom is a great way to experience complete vignettes that really highlight a products beauty. How amazing is the chevron textured tile behind the equally textured copper sink from <a href="http://www.nativetrails.net/all/laguna.html">Native Trails?</a> Also loving the black lav faucet ... great combination!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I saw a real mix of contemporary and traditional styles at the WestEdge Design Fair. <a href="http://www.rohlhome.com/">Rohl</a> had a number of vignettes set up that included some new products paired with some of their best sellers. <a href="http://www.rohlhome.com/Bath/Products.aspx?CollectionName='Perrin%20^%20Rowe'">Perrin and Rowe,</a> part of the Rohl brand, is very New England looking. In fact, we have the console sink below in our showroom.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Fresh filtered water delivered with ease makes <a href="http://everpure.com/Pages/default.htm">Everpure</a> one of my top-picks. We have a working system installed at our showroom coffee bar sink. I visit it throughout the day to fill my drinking glass with crystal clear, cold water (no water bottle waste!) A small filtration unit is placed in the cabinet below the sink. Ask to see it next time you stop by!</span></div>

Design principals Caitlin Flynn and Elyse Parkhurst are in the process of re-designing a bath at <a href="http://glenmagnafarms.org/index.html">Glen Magna Farms</a> in Danvers, an early 1800 country estate owned by the <a href="http://www.danvershistory.org/">Danvers Historical Society</a> which is currently used as a special event venue.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This grand mansion has entertained many guests over the years, and is in need of a bit of updating, both functionally and aesthetically. It will be completely transformed by a team of design firms this fall, and will be open to the public for a two week Holiday Showhouse starting December 1st through December 15th. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Designer Bath was happy to be asked to sponsor this local renovation project, including supplying fixtures for the space that North Fork Design Co. is working on. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I asked Caitlin and Elyse to share a sneak peek of the design plans they have put together for their project.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">At our initial visit to preview the property, we immediately saw the potential that the guest bathroom had. With the beautiful trim molding and clawfoot tub, we began the process of working though our ideas and inspiration to make the space feel clean and refreshed. We could already envision the impact that new flooring would have on the space.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We decided to propose our take on a classic black and white tile floor, using a black hexagon tile and white offset border. With the help of <a href="http://www.smethursttile.com/">Wm. Smethurst and Son, Inc.</a> in Malden, we will be adding a granite tile “carpet” in front of the sink that has a water jet engraved image of the famous <a href="http://glenmagnafarms.org/derby.html">Derby Summer House,</a> which is located on the grounds of the property.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">By taking the classic mosaic styles, reversing the contrast and having the black be the main mosaic color with a white offset border, we will create a fresh perspective on a classic look. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The bathroom is also receiving some incredible upgrades with the addition of several new fixtures, which are being generously donated by <a href="http://www.designerbath.com/">Designer Bath.</a> It has been a pleasure to work with Jason Sevinor, who has had some wonderful ideas of which fixtures would be most appropriate to make our design vision for the bathroom a reality. The existing sink and toilet are being replaced by the <a href="http://www.porcher-us.com/">Porcher</a> Sonnet Petite Console, and Calla II Toilet. We are also installing a range of chrome fixtures from the <a href="http://www.gatco-inc.com/index.php">Gatco</a> Charlotte line. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The existing shutters on the window are being removed, to make way for a tailored roman shade, which is being made in a classic yet elegant striped fabric. </span><span style="font-size: large;">With the addition of beautiful time-honored bath fixtures and accessories, the space will be reintroduced as a handsome space that feels cohesive. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As the Marketing Director for Designer Bath, I try to come up with engaging ways to highlight the fabulous products that we offer through our Beverly showroom. We have had a lot of fun in the past being a part of interior design shows (Wenham Museum’</span><span style="font-size: large;">s North Shore Design Show in <a href="http://issuu.com/nefinery/docs/newenglandfinerysummer2011/37">2011</a> and <a href="http://designvignettes.blogspot.com/2012/05/preview-party-pics-north-shore-design.html">2012</a> and the <a href="http://designerbath.blogspot.com/2012/11/modern-glam-for-vintage-bath.html">Junior League of Boston Show House</a> last fall), so this summer we headed north and spent five weeks in Kittery Point, Maine to take part in the <a href="http://www.oldyork.org/visit/showhouse.html">24th Annual Old York Decorator Show House.</a> </span><span style="font-size: large;">“</span><span style="font-size: large;">Secret Cove</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span><span style="font-size: large;"> seemed like the ideal summer getaway to set up bath vignettes that could tell a more complete design story than a print ad or facebook post. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I joined forces with two of my designer friends, <a href="http://design4seasons.blogspot.com/">Katherine Hawkins</a> and <a href="http://thefocusondesign.blogspot.com/">Rosanne Palazola,</a> to form <a href="http://triodesignshowhouse.blogspot.com/">Trio Design</a> so that we could tackle a number of spaces as a team. Katherine designed a glamorous teen girl’s bedroom with a mermaid theme (Syrena’s Room) and I designed the en suite bath to complement her space. Rosanne designed the “Poolside Portal</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span><span style="font-size: large;"> a mudroom made modern, stocked with all that one would need to enjoy the home’</span><span style="font-size: large;">s stunning salt water pool, and I designed the adjacent </span><span style="font-size: large;">“</span><span style="font-size: large;">Petite Powder Room.</span><span style="font-size: large;">” Collaborating with other designers on a show house project was both fun and inspiring! Below are photos from the two baths ... </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The challenge for this bath was to change out the existing formica counter and relatively small sink with a larger scale vessel that would still fit within the footprint of the original cabinet base, which happened to be sandwiched between a window and shower wall. Since Katherine has always been a fan of the Moon sink with accompanying glass counter from <a href="http://www.vanico-maronyx.com/en/collection.asp?id=43">Vanico-Maronyx</a> that is <a href="http://design4seasons.blogspot.com/2013/02/my-passport-is-full.html">on display in our showroom,</a> I placed a special order for a custom sized version for Syrena’</span><span style="font-size: large;">s Bath.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The pearl shaped sink paired with a shapely faucet from the <a href="http://www.brizo.com/bath/collection/rsvp.html#.UiVBn2T5mTY">Brizo RSVP collection</a> (adorned with Swarovski crystal finial) seemed very appropriate for a teen girl who loves the natural beauty of the ocean, along with all that sparkles! The Brizo RSVP collection was featured throughout the bath to complete the look, from mirror to robe hook to towel bar to tissue holder, even the tank lever was swapped out (it makes a huge difference!) Borrowed from our showroom, </span><span style="font-size: large;">a three-sconce light fixture from <a href="http://www.hudsonvalleylighting.com/SearchResults.aspx?p=basking+ridge">Hudson Valley</a></span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.hudsonvalleylighting.com/SearchResults.aspx?p=basking+ridge">’</a></span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.hudsonvalleylighting.com/SearchResults.aspx?p=basking+ridge">s Basking Ridge</a> collection illuminated the newly painted room <a href="http://us.farrow-ball.com/">(Farrow + Ball</a> Manor House Gray on the walls, Borrowed Light on the ceiling, and Pitch Blue on the vanity and linen closet shelves). The look of the smooth glass counter top was extended with a glass tile backsplash (thank you <a href="http://weaverbrothers.blogspot.com/p/tile-work.html">Weaver Brothers of Lynnfield).</a></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The smallest room in the York Show House was the first floor powder room. The original space was functional if not fashionable. My plan was to transform this tall-thin room into a glamorous show-stopper. My muse was the <a href="http://www.brizo.com/bath/collection/jason-wu.html#.UiVTX2T5mTY">Jason Wu for Brizo</a> collection. After attending the Jason Wu Fall 2013 fashion show in New York <a href="http://designerbath.blogspot.com/2013/02/getting-glamorous-with-jason-wu.html">last February,</a> I was inspired to create a room that paid homage to his design aesthetic.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once again, just the counter was replaced (this time with honed absolute black granite from <a href="http://www.glenvillesurfaces.com/">Glenville Surfaces)</a> and a small round sink (hammered copper in brushed nickel from <a href="http://www.nativetrails.net/db/products/EntryDetail.php?EntryID=576&DatabaseID=1&SearchID=3&SearchContext=YTo4OntzOjg6IlNlYXJjaElEIjtzOjE6IjMiO3M6MTA6IkRhdGFiYXNlSUQiO3M6MToiMSI7czo4OiJLZXl3b3JkcyI7czoxMToic21hbGwgcm91bmQiO3M6ODoiU2VhcmNoX3giO3M6MjoiMTMiO3M6ODoiU2VhcmNoX3kiO3M6MToiOCI7czoxNzoiRmF2b3JpdGVzVXNlckNvZGUiO3M6MzI6IjhmYjljZTIwMGYwZTY4ZWRkMTJiMWRlMjdiOTE0ZmUwIjtzOjY6Il9fdXRtYSI7czo1NToiMTYxOTM2NDE5LjEzNTM2NTM1NzUuMTM3Nzc1MDQ3OC4xMzc3NzUwNDc4LjEzNzc3NTA0NzguMSI7czo2OiJfX3V0bXoiO3M6NzA6IjE2MTkzNjQxOS4xMzc3NzUwNDc4LjEuMS51dG1jc3I9KGRpcmVjdCl8dXRtY2NuPShkaXJlY3QpfHV0bWNtZD0obm9uZSkiO30=">Native Trails)</a> was installed. The Jason Wu matte black <a href="http://www.brizo.com/bath/jason-wu/lavatory/65675LF-BL.html#.UiVUQ2T5mTY">SmartTouch technology faucet</a> made a sleek designer statement. The temporary floor covering, a silver snakeskin leather, was my version of a runway-ready high heel, fabulous to look at, but more for show than practicality.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">PROBLEM + SOLUTION: Without enough wall space to light a vanity mirror on either side with wall mount sconces (most flattering for the face) a self-lit mirror from <a href="http://www.electricmirror.com/project/integrity-lighted-mirror/">Electric Mirror</a> solved the final design challenge for the Petite Powder Room. Many visitors to the show inquired about this unique piece. We have a number of Electric Mirror products on display in our showroom. Stop by and see them! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">SOLUTION: Pat also chose a Native Trails hammered copper sink in brushed nickel, this time a vessel version paired with a tall lav faucet from American Standard. She placed both on the right-hand side of the vanity allowing the mirror to be positioned above the sink instead of off to the side. A neutral – but warm and beautiful – stone counter from <a href="http://cumar.com/">Cumar Marble and Granite</a> combined with an amazing metallic leopard print wallpaper <a href="http://us.farrow-ball.com/ocelot-bp-3703/ocelot//fcp-product/203703">(Ocelot from Farrow + Ball)</a> and architectural shutters from <a href="http://newenglandshutter.com/">New England Shutter Mills</a> made this large master bath finally stand out and get noticed. </span></div>

<span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Statement Pieces at Designer Bath</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Over the past several years there has
been a seismic shift in how homeowners want their home decorated.
Most likely influenced by design blogs, decorating TV and popular online sites such as <a href="http://pinterest.com/designerbath/boards/">Pinterest</a> and <a href="http://www.houzz.com/pro/designerbath/designer-bath-salem-plumbing-supply">Houzz,</a> homeowners are no longer
interested in living in homes that look like someone else’s style or
even worse, furniture store catalogs.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The majority of homeowners today want
their home to reflect their unique personality and be authentic to
how they and their family live. Hand made, custom made and unique
items are all trending and it seems that the number one buzz phrase
used by designers is that “they strive to have their designs
reflect the personality of the homeowner.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On a recent visit to Designer Bath I
decided to dig deep and investigate what was available beyond the
many beautiful, timeless and classic sinks, vanities and tubs. I
wanted to see what was possible as far as statement pieces and unique
items that would suit those clients who wanted that certain unique
something that would express their personality. I must say I was
not disappointed. Here is just a small sampling of some of my unique
and fabulous finds.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Vanities are a great way to add

Sinks are another great way to express your individuality and
Designer Bath has something for every taste. One of my favorites is
this beautiful hammered copper vessel sink from <a href="http://www.nativetrails.net/">Native Trails.</a> The organic yet
industrial look would suit country style, industrial style, or even a
rough-luxe look.</span></div>

Lastly, my biggest find of the day was not even on display. While on
my hunt for the really unique and that one of kind item you
could be sure your neighbor won</span><span style="font-size: large;">’</span><span style="font-size: large;">t have, I discovered animal skin wrapped
tubs. Talk about a statement piece in the bath! You can choose from a
relatively conservative red leather </span><span style="font-size: large;">wrapped tub ...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Each summer, we host a special evening event in appreciation of the design professionals who partner with our showroom consultants on their bath and kitchen projects. We have had the opportunity to see some really great spaces brought to completion and thought why not let others see them to? So we created the <a href="http://designerbath.com/shine/">“</a></span><a href="http://designerbath.com/shine/"><span style="font-size: large;">Designers Shine with Designer Bath Awards</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> to celebrate and give recognition to the talented designers that rely on us to provide the products and customer service that makes them look their best.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">PROJECT: New Construction Kids Bath</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">CRESTIN’</span><span style="font-size: large;">S DESCRIPTION: This</span><span style="font-size: large;"> client was willing to take some risk, but very much wanted a camp that was family friendly. They were open to my desires to work with local and reclaimed materials. For the kids bath we pulled a vibrant color from the surrounding forest and ran with it – the tile we built it around was called “fiddlehead!</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span><span style="font-size: large;"> I designed the sink base, got crafty with bypassing mirrored doors that hide storage, and using plumbing parts for towel bars. The door to the space is a salvaged door that we put on barn door hardware. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>This bath was recently published in <a href="http://www.nehomemag.com/article/lakeside-lovely">the July issue</a> of New England Home! My client had an easy time selecting plumbing and has come back to Designer Bath for another new project. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">GREAVE’S DESCRIPTION: The interior of this newly constructed 8,000+ square foot waterfront residence is simple, yet elegant with clean visual lines. The design reflects both the homeowner’s worldly aesthetic and desire to create an intimate setting. The rooms are filled with generous natural light and a soft spectrum of beach sand and sea glass hues. The house is a bright, shingle-style residence. The design-build team of Windover Construction and Olson Lewis Dioli and Doktor Architects, both of Manchester, MA, created an updated interpretation of traditional New England architecture by blending vintage style with contemporary “coastal cottage” details.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">BASSETT</span><span style="font-size: large;">’</span><span style="font-size: large;">S DESCRIPTION: The pre-existing bathroom was an outdated ’50s bathroom only measuring 5' x 7', single bowl vanity and a shower the size of a telephone booth. We demoed the existing “His</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span><span style="font-size: large;"> and </span><span style="font-size: large;">“Her</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span><span style="font-size: large;"> closets that bordered the existing bathroom to create more space. </span><span style="font-size: large;">My clients love contemporary clean lines and wanted a spa</span><span style="font-size: large;"> feel to the new bathroom. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I kept the lines clean using a limestone called Cloud Stone for the counter and walls and floor. The detail wall in the shower is a carved and polished three dimensional Wave stone 24" x 24". I designed the custom made vanity to accommodate my client storage needs.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">PROJECT: Aging In Place Master Bath</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">BONNEVILLE</span><span style="font-size: large;">’</span><span style="font-size: large;">S DESCRIPTON: </span><span style="font-size: large;">When they bought what seemed to be their last house, these baby boomers started planning ahead – step-by-step they began remodeling spaces throughout their home so that they can live there as long as they choose – even into old age. This past year, they demolished what was once a tiny windowless vanity and shower tucked under the large sloping front roof of their 1968 contemporary home and created this spacious relaxing and joy-filled master bathroom. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Now they enjoy the full complement of bath amenities they had dreamed of: a streamlined style to match the architecture in a neutral palette of porcelain tile; contrasting Caesar stone surfaces and Douglas Fir cabinetry fit wall-to-wall; a large double sink vanity with storage hidden in shallow sink-side drawers and the out-of-sight storage of necessities in his and her tall recessed medicine cabinets; a full linen closet with pull-out lower shelves; a roll-in showering alcove with adjustable height and detachable shower head to reach a sitting bench nestled under a second window; a wall-hung heated WC with programmable controls; and ample open floor space for walker, wheelchair or .... for dancing! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">PROJECT: Master Spa Bath</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">MEYER</span><span style="font-size: large;">’</span><span style="font-size: large;">S DESCRIPTION: My client wanted a bathroom that combined rustic and refined with traditional and modern. They envisioned a spa-retreat that would simultaneously relax them and serve their day-to-day needs. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Dark Shale finish cabinets from Bertch were combined with quartz by Okite to provide a balance of light and dark, elegant and natural. These blend elements of green with subtle sophistication. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The enlarged steam shower is spacious and heavenly. Glass panels bring in natural light while chrome fixtures from Sigma add their own sparkle. When the couple steps out of the shower they are greeted by a towel warmer and radiant floor heat. </span><span style="font-size: large;">A claw foot tub from Victoria and Albert adds a feminine touch. Sonoma Tilemakers recycled Vihara stained glass accent tiles in watery hues bring peaceful color into to the space. Porcelain tiles on the floor and shower mimic marble, enhancing the luxurious feel. </span><span style="font-size: large;">A new Runtal baseboard heater adds much desired warmth to the room.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In mid July, I was one of almost 100 design bloggers who traveled from across the country to see how <a href="http://www.brizo.com/">Brizo</a> products are made. We toured the <a href="http://www.deltafaucet.com/index.html">Delta Faucet</a> plant in Jacksonville, Tennessee, and saw first hand the care and quality control that backs every product that leaves their factory. Brizo is the luxury division of this American company, a leader in faucet innovation since 1954.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our trip started in Memphis, with a visit to <a href="http://www.stjude.org/stjude/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=f87d4c2a71fca210VgnVCM1000001e0215acRCRD">St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,</a> the world’s premier pediatric cancer research center, founded by internationally known entertainer <a href="http://www.stjude.org/stjude/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=576bfa2454e70110VgnVCM1000001e0215acRCRD&vgnextchannel=d48478b27119a210VgnVCM1000001e0215acRCRD">Danny Thomas</a> back in 1962. Why did a faucet company take a bunch of design bloggers to visit a children’s hospital? Brizo has been a proud sponsor of St. Jude</span><span style="font-size: large;"> since 2010, and they wanted to share with us why St. Jude is so special. We spent the day touring the St. Jude campus, and what we left with was a feeling of hope and optimism. This is a very special place that allows children being treated for pediatric cancer (and their families) to dream of a healthy future.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It may have taken a faucet company to get us there, </span><span style="font-size: large;">but after touring the hospital and patient/family living centers on the St. Jude campus, it was clear to all of us design bloggers that the success of this research community is based on the dedication of each and every person on staff, f</span><span style="font-size: large;">rom the administration to food service to nurses to doctors and so many others. The entire St. Jude team is fully committed to creating a hopeful experience for the children and families that they treat there. Equal credit goes to the numerous donors who support the work of this positive healing environment. It costs around $1.8 million a day to run St. Jude. Public donations cover 75% of these operating expenses. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One of our goals at Designer Bath is to continuously offer the latest designs and most exclusive brands to our customers. By bringing in new display models on a regular basis, we are able to showcase a wide range of products in an equally wide range of styles. We are excited to introduce a few new lines this summer, including <a href="http://www.fairmontdesigns.com/bath-collections/collections/smithfield/vanities/smithfield-48-vanity-medium-gray.html">Smithfield from Fairmont</a> (shown above and below). This transitional collection comes in many sizes and counter top combinations, allowing it to blend with a variety of design styles. The warm gray finish is casually elegant and <a href="http://designerbath.blogspot.com/2013/06/design-trends-from-new-york.html">right on trend.</a> It is also available in Mink, a rich brown finish, which pairs well with black hardware.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We are very excited to announce our new Guest Blogger series! At the Designer Bath showroom, we work with a lot of design/build professionals who rely on our team of showroom consultants as a resource to facilitate the completion of their design projects. Some designers are working on dozens of bath projects at a time, and we are there to help them finalize the numerous selections while managing the ordering and delivery process. We thought it would be nice to share some of this collaborative work with our readers. </span></div>

You may remember her from our <a href="http://designerbath.blogspot.com/2013/02/meet-our-passport2design-bloggers.html">Passport to Design Blog Tour post</a> from earlier this year. Kristina shops our showroom on a regular basis, and has completed many projects with Mindy. </span></div>

<i><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Guest Post: A Citrus Bright Bath by Kristina Crestin ...</span></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;">I always have fun working on kids baths – typically it’s an opportunity to take more risks and be more creative. There is also the challenge of being able to bridge the gap in age appropriate design as the kids grow up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We’ve been thinking industrial fun on this one; playing with color and materials to start. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I stumbled upon this cool vintage metal ca</span><span style="font-size: large;">binet at </span><span class="s1" style="font-size: large;">Apartment 528</span><span style="font-size: large;"> and we were sold! We liked that it was vintage without hitting you over the head with the </span><span style="font-size: large;">“</span><span style="font-size: large;">industrial</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span><span style="font-size: large;"> idea. That led me to the idea of a textured glass to integrate into the shower wall. Initially we were thinking something retro and reeded, but if we can source chicken wire glass we’re going to totally do that! That would be a nice connection with the sconces from </span><span class="s1" style="font-size: large;">Schoolhouse Electric</span><span style="font-size: large;"> that we like, along with the simple styling of </span><span class="s1" style="font-size: large;">Grohe</span><span class="s1" style="font-size: large;">’s Somerset</span><span style="font-size: large;"> faucet that I’ve used over and over again.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cross your fingers that we go ahead with the design! <a href="http://www.eatsleepbreatheinteriordesign.com/">(follow Kristina’s blog to keep track of her progress)</a></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It’s not unusual to see drivers pulling over on the side of the road to look for bargains on someone’s front lawn during summer months in New England. Once a year, we host a sprawling tag sale of our own under huge tents set up in both the Designer Bath and Beverly Depot parking lot. Our friends from <a href="http://www.moynihanlumber.com/">Moynihan Lumber,</a> <a href="http://www.landryandarcari.com/">Landry and Arcari,</a> and <a href="http://lucialighting.com/">Lucia Lighting</a> join in the fun. For one day only, showroom items and overstock inventory from all four locations are offered at super low price points. Deals are everywhere!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We have regular yard sale customers who plan their home improvements around this annual event (this year was our 23rd Beverly Yard Sale!) With so much to choose from, the difficult part is deciding what to take home. Some of our seasoned shoppers take the following approach ...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">1. Build from the ground up. Find a large inspiration piece and then shop the rest of the sale for bargains to match it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">4. Plan ahead. Is there a room in your home that you would like to tackle? Start with a low priced sale item then shop later for the rest. By saving money at the beginning of the project there is more in the budget later for finishing touches.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A trip to New York is always inspiring design-wise, but especially so when the ICFF <a href="http://icff.com/">(International Contemporary Furniture Fair)</a> is in town. Recently I visited the Javitz Convention Center where this exhibition of the latest and greatest in global design was held in late May. Over 500 exhibitors from over 30 countries showed off their best new product designs in a range of home furnishing categories including kitchen and bath. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I returned with a round up of fab finds </span><span style="font-size: large;">in decorative plumbing </span><span style="font-size: large;">from some of the quality brands that we represent in our Beverly showroom ... </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The newly introduced <a href="http://www.hansgrohe-usa.com/16805.htm">Organic</a> lav faucet from the Axor Hansgrohe brand is a minimalist design by Phillipe Starck that offers dynamic water saving features. Water is released in a pearlized spray that reduces the actual amount of water that is used by about 50%. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The temperature control is at the top of the fixture, while the on/off valve is at the bottom of the spout which reduces the delay in the time it takes to shut if off after done with use.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Duravit brand displayed a new collection, the <a href="http://www.duravit.us/website/homepage/products/product_overview/news_2013.us-en.html">Happy D.2.</a> It comes in a range of sizes, from powder room petite to much more expansive. </span><span style="font-size: large;">With its rounded edges this collection has a distinctly feminine quality. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The newest option in finishes is a brushed linen look that is a warm greige in color – not quite gray, not quite beige, with a hint of pink.

<span style="font-size: large;">There was a lot of warm gray at this years ICFF including this transitional painted vanity cabinet from <a href="http://www.fairmontdesigns.com/bath-collections/collections/smithfield.html">Fairmont Designs</a>. This model will </span><span style="font-size: large;">actually</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">be in our Beverly showroom in the near future. It, too, is available in larger widths (up to 48 inches) and has an optional matching mirror to complete the look.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Another item I would like to get in our Beverly showroom were these colored taps from <a href="http://www.fantini.it/">Fantini,</a> especially the bright Designer Bath orange version in particular. How fun would these be (with matching colored spout, of course) in a modern powder room or child’s bath?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The mission of the <a href="http://www.fantini.it/public/CMS/Files/3641/100%20FONTANE_110000286REV0000.pdf">100 Fountains Project: Fantini for Africa</a> is “ ... to bring water to those who do not have it, to give greater dignity to everyday life and the hope of a better future. Good water changes lives: having it close to your home, within reach, simply pouring out when you turn on the tap, transforms behavioural and hygienic habits unexpectedly and radically.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Every 10 sets of I Ballocchi taps sold will finance a water delivery system in the villages of Masango in Burundi, Africa, one of the poorest countries in the world where children spend most of their days fetching water, leaving no time for education or play. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A very cool product shown at ICFF was digitally fabricated lighting, furniture and jewelry by locally based <a href="http://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/index.php">Nervous System</a> of Sommerville. Using computer simulation and 3D printing technology, delicate orbs in organic shapes appeared almost etheral. I really loved the pendant lighting along with the option to customize designs.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I discovered even more inspiration during a private blogger tour of the 41st Annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House, which was also happening in New York during my visit.
