"Gratuitous Nudity . . . "
Academy Award Winner, Colin Firth. |
Greetings,
Well, I had to find some way of getting you all to peruse through some amazing bathrooms! I'm working on several projects at the office that are going to involve re-designing (or at least re-imagining) numerous bathrooms for clients.
Designing bathrooms are always a challenge. The specifications are usually quite technical. But more importantly, the rooms are incredibly personal. They is most likely the first room we each see in the morning. And the last we see at night. And frankly, we're in these rooms when we're naked. A badly designed bathroom can be amazingly sad. But, if beautifully done - they can be divine.
Enjoy . . .
Barry Darr Dixon, for House Beautiful (photo credit - Edward Addeo) Beautiful tile work. Great faucets. And I love the use of the drapery treatment in the space. |
Paolo Moschino, for House Beautiful (photo credit - Simon Upton) Intrigued by the unusual use of the hutch in this bathroom. And I'm almost always a sucker for a free-standing bathtub. |
Johnny Depp |
Dransfield & Ross, for Elle Decor (photo credit - Simon Upton) Great re-imagining of the console as a vanity. And love the dove gray colour of the casework. |
SMW Design, Atherton Residence (photo credit - Eric Tagan Hooten) A little corner in a project in Atherton. We ended up having to retro-fit the mirror on this adorable antique bamboo table. |
Neil Patrick Harris, television and broadway actor |
John Jacob Interiors Again - the blessings of a free-standing bathtub. And a fireplace. And great artwork. |
Joe Nye, for House Beautiful (photo credit - Roger Davies) Masculine. Clubby. Great lighting. And I love that mirror. |
Bradley Cooper, television and movie star |
SMW Design, Tahoe Residence (photo credit - Eric Tagan Hooten) A great little bathroom as part of a guest suite at a Tahoe vacation home. |
Mari Ann & Michael Maher, for Elle Decor (photo credit - William Abranowicz) And how amazing is this antique sofa as part of the bathroom. And oh, to have that much space! |
Don't forget to scrub behind those ears,
Scot

Are you kidding me, Mr.??? I didn't see ANY bathroom here... I saw really good looking actors! LOL
But, seriously.... gorgeous bathrooms! A very important thing when designing a bathroom: light! Not direct light, actually. The older you get, the less "light" you want to be directing on your...... (complete it however you want. ;-) ) Light and some comfort.... that's always nice too.
Have a Happy Day!

You had me at Colin Firth in bubbles. Loved every bathroom, especially the free standing tubs. Do you think the wing chair in the John Jacob room was covered in white terry? Who knew Bradley Cooper could make such a great accessory?!?
Great Post!
Bathrooms are "Sacred spaces" where images are dreamed of, imagined in, and made out to be fluid emotions.
Admittedly, it DOES seem like we American guys are more of a 'shower' nation - I still love the romanticism of the bathtub.
Maybe we'll need a follow-up posting - more focused on showers?
Hmmmmmm,
