Your kids might not like brushing their teeth, but I’ve never met a small child that didn’t see the bathroom – especially the bathtub – as a place of adventure, and just another room to play in. And, of course, we all want to encourage those feelings to help promote good hygiene. But little ones are also notoriously fickle, and they grow up fast – so before you go pai
In the 40s, society was recovering from the Great Depression and the second World War, and fashion and style came back with a bang. People finally had enough money to renovate and go shopping and they all wanted a taste of the American dream.

When we bathe, we are completely vulnerable and exposed. We want ambient light because we don’t want someone to be able to spy on us like in Psycho, but we want task lights to feel like nobody can sneak up on us either like in Jurassic Park. Basically, we want something more than a fluorescent light bulb jutting out above the mirror. Our dream bathroom lighting fixtures are out there. Task l
