bathroom
This master bathroom is in a Spanish revival house in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz neighborhood. But before it was remodeled by interior designer Deirdre Doherty, its basic fixtures gave it a nondescript flavor. Her goal was to enlarge and lighten the small, dark space while making it at home with the original architecture.
Overlooking a tropical garden in Hawaii, this showstopping copper tub is set upon black river stones. This kind of luxury doesn’t come cheap; similar tubs retail for about $13,000. Another thing to consider: Even with a ¾-inch dedicated line, the tub takes a half hour to fill, according to designer Saint Dzier. So this one’s not for impatient bathers!
Designed by DeForest Architects, this shower disappears into its surroundings. The tile is sloped toward the central drain, so there is no need for any curbing, and the floor is heated, so excess water evaporates quickly. The shower wall, made up of strips of water-resistant ipe, continues into the outdoor courtyard.
Fashioned from Indonesian river rock, this solid tub is outfitted with dramatic uplights for bathing after dark. The tumbled-stone wall behind is covered in mesh-backed pebble tile and features a water spout, which was custom made by designer Iwan Sastrawiguna. The handheld shower and faucet are from Kohler.
Get a dirigible. Don't ask me why, but zeppelins and other dirigibles are highly celebrated by steampunks. Could be the whole hot-air thing.
