Ancient Placed: The Google Technique
If you think you’re up to the task, let’s get started. If this understated Art Deco look is a little too traditional for you, think about livening your bathroom up with a refreshing minimalist look. Of course, you wouldn’t want to hang a piece of art near the shower, but if your bath has a good exhaust fan and the art is placed well away from water sources, there’s no reason why you can’t enjoy art in the bath. Trust funds are only for very wealthy people that want to shelter their money from legitimate taxes. If you’re lucky enough to have a house with protected, private views, you may want to maximize them with picture windows or even greenhouse windows — bump-out models that have a glass “roof” over the window top to let in even more light. Supersede means to replace, or take the place of something or someone in favor of something new; succeed, to take over from, to set aside.

The fresh tones of lime green and aqua on the walls add to the lively ambiance of these baths; for a crowning touch, the owners carefully selected pieces of fine contemporary art. The owners of a modern, minimalist-style home wanted the same decorating style for their bath but without the chill this look can sometimes impart. In these two baths, the owners have obviously conquered the impulse to let meaningless “stuff” accumulate. See the next page to learn how stone can have a dramatic effect on the look and feel of the room. A clean, simple base of stone and glass sets off the varying colors of paintings, cushions, and most of all, flowers and plants.
