I recently visited a friend who’s in the middle of the long and arduous process of renovating her new, lovely-but-outdated ranch home. We were most of the way through the dones and to-dos tour when she showed me her master bathroom. I burst out “I love it!” just a moment before she told me she […]

After all, all a bathtub really needs to be decadent and relaxing is to be big and reasonably well designed. But style is a whole different thing, and that takes a little […]
