Bathroom design is more than just picking tiles, but that is probably the most important aspect of it. Modern bathroom tile designs are so varied, it can be hard to make the choice at all. Materials alone range from classic ceramics to natural stone, which, in turn, includes more varieties than just marble. Contemporary colors, shapes, and materials will make your head spin in a sweet whirlwind of bathroom remodeling.

One hopes that in 1954, this statement was not as fraught as it is today—today of all days. Between Citizens United, K Street, a malignantly partisan congress, and alleged kompromat material, all of which can lay justifiable claim to ownership of the incoming POTUS, it's hard to be optimistic about the current state of our union.

The Perfect Bath

Gil Schafer is a traditional architect with an affinity for new “old” houses and meticulous restorations. This approach has been informed by childhood homes that resonate with him, particularly a plantation in Georgia lived in for generations by his mother’s family. It was a classical house; dignified, understated and charming, with a well-balanced relationship between the house, its formal gardens and the broader semi-wild landscape that was a large part of the property.

Blueberry cobbler is such a delicious treat, but who wants to turn on the oven to bake it? Thankfully, you can rely on the slow cooker and take it easy and cool. Moreover, as with all slow cooker recipes, flavors blend slowly, the cobbler cooks to a beautiful finish.

Debuting at this week's LivingKitchen trade show in Cologne is this little number, er, letter. Designed by architect Michael Hilgers, the Y Kitchen is a tripartite island. As it lacks a refrigerator and an oven, it's meant to supplement, not replace, an open kitchen in a small space. Its strength is providing counter area and drawer storage in a compact footprint; its potential drawback is triggering a literal run-around.

While there are two distinctly different styles present, there is harmony in this kitchen. Without the ornamented interior architecture, the contemporary elements—the diaphanous light fixture and crisp cabinets—would sit in a space with little character or detail.

The principle of emphasis in interior design is the process of creating focus within a designated space. This method is used not only to draw attention to a focal point in the room but can also be used to divert the viewer from noticing a less desirable area of the space as well. This is accomplished through the utilization of the elements of interior design: line, shape, form, color, texture, and space.
