Miles Redd's gorgeous and infamous floor to ceiling mirrored bath holds a particular charm for me as it was salvaged from the Armour estate blocks from my childhood home in Lake Forest, Illinois. The home was built in 1931 and was the estate of Lester Armour of the meatpacking fortune. It was a collaboration between the brilliant architect David Adler and his equally brilliant sister interior designer Frances Elkins. The house was gutted in the 1990s by eighties pop icon Richard Marx and the bathroom languished in a salvage yard until rescued by Miles Redd.
Miles Redd's powder room-very art deco glam with its black, white, and Lucite. I love the little pop of color on the monogrammed hand towels.
I love this Cowtan & Tout Manuel Canovas wallpaper, the monogrammed towel (always make your monograms large, they are much more elegant), and the silver leather cube. The perfect woman's bathroom. This glamorous and feminine bathroom featured in House Beautiful is by designer Amanda Nisbet.
I have no idea where I originally found this photo, but I love the unexpected use of blue and white porcelain and the chopstick monogram on the towels-I would guess Leontine Linens. This is a great way to glamorize a white bathroom. I would have used a blue and white garden stool instead of the large vase on the floor-a perfect perch for a towel or robe.

ReplyDeleteg.-The funny thing is, it's the master bath-I wouldn't let my husband in there to mess it up! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Amanda Nisbet bath is my favorite, esp. because that Canovas wallpaper really grabs me!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved that famous mirrored bath of Miles! Did you ever see the video tour of it on domino before it was pulled down?
ReplyDeleteI love that he hosts dinner parties in the bathroom, since it's the biggest room in his apartment! lol

ReplyDeleteSF-You need to find a picture of his mirrored kitchen.
ReplyDeleteMiles Reed mirrored bath just blew my mind.
ReplyDeleteFF&C-It is amazing. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteYes, a garden stool would actually be a more logical choice since the bather can sit on it before/after taking her bath. I just bought a garden stool myself actually...
ReplyDeleteFrances-I love garden stools and just did a post yesterday on garden stools on Chinoiserie Chic.
