A Maine Renovation

Interior designer, Suzanne Kasler, and architect, Ken Cole, revamped this run down Port Clyde, Maine, compound into the charming property it is today for their southern clients.

It's just lovely and the rustic, natural landscape is the perfect setting for it all.

This is the pool house kitchen.

Vintage framed naval flags.

A Room of Her Own - A Lady's Bath

Here's a nice little getaway from a hectic day - no work, no socializing - simply pure relaxation in a hot bath with a fragrant oil, a fireplace with a tv above it, lit candles, a glass of wine and hors d'ouevres.  Perhaps music playing on the tv.  

This scene covers all five senses - smell, taste, hearing, touch and sight - a perfect atmosphere!

Have a very relaxing weekend!

A Sophisticated Child's Bath

Designer Leigha Heydt was asked to renovate an existing bathroom for a California family with 4 children between the ages of four and thirteen.  The one request was that she use the Kohler Brockway trough cast iron sink so two children at a time could use it.

The vintage vibe of the trough sink led to the feel of the rest of the bathroom which included the claw foot tub and pull-chain water closet.  Benjamin Dhong designed the shower curtains that also act as a window treatment.  And note the brass accents......an altogether beautiful bath that will be as suitable for the children for years to come as it is for them now.  

Love it!

Trough sinks are definitely popular right now as you can see from the examples below.  They're suitable anywhere, but especially nice in children's baths to double and triple the availability of tooth brushing and face washing.
