Awash
in white, this revamped
bath
welcomes bright color and a few
fun touches.
When space is tight, it’s easy to get hung up on function
and forget about style. But not in this bath. The 5><8-foot
room, located in a 1928 cottage, dresses the part. It’s a
cottage classic, with beaded board on the walls, subway
shower tiles, and hexagonal floor tiles. Yet it’s still fresh
and modern—not formulaic. Instead of a boxy sink
cabinet, chrome tubing and fittings topped with a
limestone remnant form a sleek, open vanity. Yellow-
painted upper walls and room-softening fabrics add
high-contrast punch, ensuring that the formerly dingy
room always shows its sunny side.

AL'S THE VOICE OF REAL DOGS.
He calls it like he sees it. Nothing complicated.
Just the basics. As in the three basic food
groups: ALPO With Beef. Chicken or Lamb.
Mmmm. 100% complete and balanced ALPO.
