This is just one view of the award-winning master bath from the <a href="http://designerbath.blogspot.com/2012/01/contest-shine-with-designer-bath.html">“</a></span><a href="http://designerbath.blogspot.com/2012/01/contest-shine-with-designer-bath.html"><span style="font-size: large;">Designers Shine with Designer Bath</span><span style="font-size: large;">”</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> contest that we announced at our last showroom event in July. In August, I got to see the entire space (it is the size of a small bedroom!) in person and style it for this image photographed for our September/October ad in <a href="http://digital.designnewengland.com/designnewengland/20120910#pg76">Design New England Magazine.</a> I arrived at the stately seaside home with a van full of design props that were later artfully arranged to complement the thoughtful design work of our contest winner, Ian Mentasti of <a href="http://www.stephenterhune.com/">Stephen Terhune Woodworking.</a></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Styling the space ...</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Pops of <a href="http://www.designerbath.com/">Designer Bath</a> orange were sourced from within the home itself to go along with the visual identity that I have established for our current ad campaigns (have you seen some of our ads with orange backgrounds?) The zigzag gray and white Dhurrie carpet was selected at <a href="http://www.landryandarcari.com/GalleryFocus.php?f=Kilim-Rugs-Dhurries&pic=44&max=51">Landry and Arcari</a> in Salem. <a href="http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod20380&cm_ps=modal_add_to_cart-_-none-_-other_items_you_may_like&categoryId=cat780015">Frosted glass pharmacy bottles,</a> bath salts, a natural sea sponge, and plush <a href="http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1214123&categoryId=search">slippers</a> from Restoration Hardware set the stage for a spa-like retreat. A stack of fluffy white towels from Home Goods, some borrowed items from our showroom, and an arrangement of pretty green and white hydrangea blossoms freshly snipped from my friend’s front yard and this designer bath was photo-ready!</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Of course, before we even arrived the space was looking pretty amazing because of the gorgeous fixtures specified from Designer Bath, elegant tile selections, serene color palette and expert craftsmanship that combined to create this luxurious master bath retreat.   </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">For additional views of the space along with details on the fixtures chosen and the team who worked on this project, check out my post on <a href="http://designerbath.blogspot.com/2012/09/an-award-winning-master-bath.html">the Designer Bath blog.</a></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
