Like so many ingenious ideas in this world, fractal painting originated by accident. Helene Slavin compares her discovery to the story of toasted ravioli in St. Louis, when ravioli pasta was mistakenly boiled in oil, creating the crunchy, browned noodle, at Angelo Oldani’s on the Hill in the 1950s. Slavin was mixing blue paint when it splattered. She noticed how the forces of nature spread it into a pattern of its own across the white lid of the paint can.

Modern Elegance

Elegant Escape
Soothing, tranquil and elegant perfectly describe this 144-square-foot master bath. Going for a modern take on vintage, the homeowner, along with Mitchell Wall Architecture + Design, created the ultimate oasis. After falling in love with the Waterworks bathtub, it became the focal point of the room and the basis for many of the design decisions. The curvature of the tub is replicated in all aspects of the bathroom including the cabinetry, tile and cabinetry hardware.
