Design Daily - from the pages of French Home...

image via French Home by Josephine Ryan

..

This beautifully illustrated book explores the elements that combine to create spaces with an identifiably French feel:  the architectural details that enhance the framework of a room; the textures and colours that flatter various styles of furniture; options for lighting, mirrors, and paintings.  Looking at real homes, antiques dealer and stylist Josephine Ryan demonstrates a keen eye for objects both ordinary and extraordinary, and examines the alchemy of a style that can be either lush and complex or pared-down and rigorous.-excerpts from the publisher's description.

"The influence of Scandinavian and Japanese culture has changed attitudes toward bathrooms. In these cultures, the bathroom is regarded as a natural part of everyday life in which mental and spiritual well-being are as important as hygiene. This has given rise to the widely held view that the bathroom is a place not only to wash oneself but also to relax and enjoy a sense of well being."—excerpt from Ultimate Bathroom Design, page 11

I couldn't agree more!

"Not only is it a question of what is good for our planet, 

 it is a question of what is good for our spirit.  

Whether we are aware of it consciously or not; 

-What surrounds us either uplifts, inspires and energizes us or

 bogs us down, overwhelms us and depletes us.  

So today I challenge you to take a tour of your home..."
