One of Maria’s many gifts is the ability to see art and design as an integral part of life, not only in the studio, but even in the bathroom. She has transformed our bathroom into a kind of living art gallery, it changes almost every day. I contributed by ordering an orange razor and stand from Harry’s, the best of the online shopping revolution. On the right, on the soap dish are Maria’s bracelets, which she changes daily, and on the dish, a flower from the Chicken Pod Thai I ordered from a Japanese restaurant in Bennington, Vt.

The blue rinsing cup contrasts well with the wall color.

We have preserved the old bathroom fixtures like the sink, and the art deco mirror above the sink A bathroom sink becomes a still life.
