Collection from Duravit : Design by Sieger Design</a></i></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Working at the <a href="http://designerbath.com/">Designer Bath</a> showroom for the past six months has opened my eyes to a wide range of beautiful fixtures that I never knew existed before. Along with being crafted of the highest quality materials, the <a href="http://designerbath.com/content/products/products.html">product lines</a> they carry almost always have brand-specific collections created for them by world-renowned designers (<a href="http://www.brizo.com/jasonwu/index.html">Jason Wu for Brizo</a>, <a href="http://kallista.com/onlinecatalog/collections/suite/landing.kls?collection=Glamour%20by%20Barbara%20Barry&designer=Barbara%20Barry">Barbara Barry for Kallista</a>, and <a href="http://www.duravit.us/website/homepage/products/product_overview/series/starck_x.us-en.html">Phillipe Stark for Duravit</a> for example).</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Since I have a few bath renovation projects on my to-do list (well technically on my husbands list : ) I have been daydreaming about bringing home some of the pretty pieces that I have recently discovered. Since there is no way that I can choose just one look (I have come to love and appreciate so many different styles, choosing one will be like choosing a favorite child) I am going to start putting together a few different design plans and then see what works for my “significant others.” </span><span style="font-size: large;">Seeing that I share my space with all guys, I have to come up with a look that is boy friendly, but that still appeals to my need for a bit of glam.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQuaf5LTELDcaUN5mfp3yor6d6DAhWau8h1sn_540XQxPUq2KPPOT9Vlrv4H1gTJyD1dMtsAEtSQoh161PFAj29qfEFuaCVu2FFCQIj0MPzcTmozR8p62Hhnr5vb-lra2cRqXsJY3o0rVV/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-02-27+at+10.04.53+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQuaf5LTELDcaUN5mfp3yor6d6DAhWau8h1sn_540XQxPUq2KPPOT9Vlrv4H1gTJyD1dMtsAEtSQoh161PFAj29qfEFuaCVu2FFCQIj0MPzcTmozR8p62Hhnr5vb-lra2cRqXsJY3o0rVV/s800/Screen+shot+2012-02-27+at+10.04.53+PM.png" width="500" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/my_designer_bath/set?id=44539805">Plan #1: classic, yet contemporary, white bath with lipstick red accents</a></i></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">My first design plan incorporates a collection from Duravit that is called </span><a href="http://www.duravit.us/website/homepage/products/product_overview/series/happy_d.us-en.html"><span style="font-size: large;">“</span><span style="font-size: large;">Happy D</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> created by <a href="http://www2.duravit.com/au/products/designer/sieger-design-useo6q3ry6.html">Sieger Design</a> of Germany. This classic, yet modern, Bauhaus-inspired style is pretty to look at, but not the least bit fussy. I am particularly fond of the <a href="http://www.duravit.us/website/homepage/products/product_overview/series/happy_d.us-en.html/p-92783">metal console</a> beneath the washbasin that functions as a towel bar. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Geometric patterns like the herringbone shower curtain and hexagon floor tile work for both boys and girls, while a print of a tuxedoed bird speaks to the formal art of getting dressed in a gender neutral way. By including some bright red accents to this mostly utilitarian space, I get my girlie-fix in a room that still welcomes the yin to my yang. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Stay tuned for more design plans featuring brands that have caught my eye in the showroom. If you could design the bath of your dreams, what would it look like? </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
