Art of the Spa

When I look at this bicycle for the bath, I can’t help but think of how nifty it would be to run my fingers along the spokes of the wheels – and how the cool metal mimics the feel of the faucets.  What do you think?  What part of the bike would you touch first? [...]

Since it’s Black Friday, let’s stay in Turkey for an ultra mod angular black bathroom.  Loving the bath alcove here too!  How do you use Black in your decor or don’t you?  

Yes it’s less than a week til Turkey Day and there’s still so much gorgeous Turkish decor to gobble! The map on the ceiling of this bath demonstrates love for pattern, playfulness & brave color combos. Do you have an overhead view you’d like to pretty up? image via Sotheby’s.

La Sultana, like most spas in its nook of the world, has a wetter version of a steam room called a hamam better known as a Turkish Bath. The style is best emulated in a real home by introducing a few richly patterned pieces and keeping the rest of the room toned down. * At [...]

On September 13, 2010, Oprah’s “cutie pie” designer Nate Berkus launches his very own TV show on NBC. It’s about time! In the words of a friend, “He’s my home design hero!” Love that – you know who you are. In honor of the exciting news, our Twitter pals and HGTV design stars, the MoggitGirls [...]
