Bathroom Renovation, Process and Economy

Recently we started a renovation in our main bathroom. This process entails economy in many ways. I think it’s a good word to describe the style we lean towards. Inspiration at work and at home come in many forms and guides our design process and choices. Human concepts, good reads, visuals snippets of what we find beautiful--from modern to rustic to audio to print all combined spur insight into what works well with us.

My letterpress mentor and friend Thomas Gravemaker, whom I first met in Paris, sent me a special letterpress wish from Amsterdam, and I received it today! He has recently set up his office back there and I look very much forward to visiting his new studio soon.
Some of his very interesting work is here.
