On a recent day in New York, I carved out time for what I call “sightseeing.” The Cooper Hewitt always has remarkable new exhibits, and when there, l love to revisit the decorative arts collections of the Hewitt sisters. If you are tech inclined, this is is definitely the place to go. Admittedly, I take the more conventional (old-fashioned) approach to gallery exhibits, which is to read the descriptions and take photos as opposed to trying to manipulate and play with the screens.

Occasionally, one inspiring photo can bring about a wealth of new ideas. This presumably small bath originally pictured in Architectural Digest offers many opportunities to discuss small bath options.

California-based designer, Tim Clarke, gets to create baths (and houses for that matter) with spectacular settings, often near the ocean. He uses the incredible views, natural colors and material surroundings as his inspiration. In his work, he creates a design dynamic by balancing inside and outside environments and by creating a sense of place.

As I continue to share images from The Perfect Bath, my plan is to include spaces large and small, especially the powder bath. In this post, I’m focusing on a dramatic powder room designed by Katie Eastridge of Eastridge Design in Princeton, New Jersey.
