Bathroom Beauty's

Are you considering updating your bathroom?

 Here are some things to consider before you begin.

 1) what is your style? is it contemporary or traditional?

 2) what materials will you use?

3) how much space do you have and how can you best use it? 

4) what style tub and sinks are available to me?

 I've been trolling through the internet searching for what's new and interesting with bathrooms and one common product kept showing up...Copper!  Copper is very trendy right now so I wanted to provide you with some ideas to get started.

Here are a few amazing products I've found that may peak your interest.

 

Bathtubs

 

We know we can get claw foot and jacuzzi tubs so here are a few unusual or out of box types.

Copper Japanese soaking tubs
 

this is a stainless steel soaking tub, it is really very comfortable because it has a little bench seat in there. they're not very wide but they are deep and perfect for a soak

 

This one is custom designed and can be molded on the inside to curve like you body

 

Holy Feng Shui! this one is stunning

 

I'd like to schedule me for 6 hours in this room

Sinks

 

 

There are currently 7 styles of vanity sinks you should consider when choosing products for your bathroom.

1st is the self rimming which sit on top of the counter and have a rolled or finished edge.

2nd is the console sink which is similar to a pedestal but it has a small amount of counter space available and looks more like a furniture piece.

 

3rd is the vessel sink, this looks like a bowl you've just set on top of the counter to catch the water as it pours into it.  

 

4th is the pedestal sink, this is a free standing sink and are great for very small bathrooms

5th is the wall mount sink which is mounted directly onto the wall.  These are also a great functional solution to a tight bathroom

6th is the under mount sink which is set just under the counter top 

 

7th is the vanity top sink which is a single sheet of material that is the counter and the sink all in one.  

 

Thank you

Modern Purist Kitchen Trends 

The definition of Purism is: an early-20th-century artistic style and movement founded by Le Corbusier and the French painter Amédée Ozenfant (1886–1966) and emphasizing purity of geometric form. It arose out of a rejection of cubism and was characterized by a return to the representation of recognizable objects.

So with the modern style of a purist kitchen, you would not see traditional ornament and classical motif’s anywhere.  What you would get a sense of is a clean even sterile aesthetic with contemporary yet incredibly functional materials and furnishings.  The purist kitchen typically means that it has pure color like white on the walls, it would seem there is a lot of white or natural purist colors that are used.  With fixtures like the faucet, they would have tubular shapes that are simple yet beautiful.

 

 

This is the "Purist" faucet from Kohler kohler.com

 

This is an example of the "Floating Glass Series" appliances by Jenn Air.  jennair.com

The aesthetic is very minimalist but Modern kitchen trends today can still have a purist flavor but just more inviting and encorporate luxurious elements like appliances and glossy lacquered cabinets or stainless with glass inserts like the example kitchen below. 

 

There is a desire for people to want to live in homes that are comfortable and personable and functional

 

  You may see concrete floors and counter tops and you may see organic wood floors with a lustrous chrome for cabinetry and or counter tops.  A Modern purist kitchen exemplifies an uncluttered aesthetic that would be pleasing to the eye as well as inviting.
