Bob Borson — December 5, 2013 — 31 Comments There are few things that are as stunning to me as a white marble counter top … I love them and appreciate the character and history they have as a material.

The Perfect Bath

JANUARY 29, 2014

Last week I attended the awards celebration of New England Chapter Institute of Classical Architecture and Art held at the State House in Boston, a fabulous Charles Bulfinch building built in 1798 with later additions. It is sited close to the summit of the south side of Beacon Hill overlooking Boston Common and the Back Bay.

Design With an Attitude

SEPTEMBER 1, 2011

However, my recent project in Boston has made me realize that it can be fun and very creative to work in a more “traditional/ formal” mindset. The history and the architecture of Boston inspired me to remember that the cleaner lines of many of today’s interiors all trace back to European and even early American inspiration!

The Perfect Bath

NOVEMBER 11, 2016

To start, for the guest powder bath I have selected the Waterworks Compass pendant in unlacquered brass. The room is a very small bath squeezed around a very large chimney. I love the Compass light, especially in brass, and have decided that despite the bath’s diminutive size, mixing finishes was the thing to do.
