The fairest of them all, you ask? Thanks to the task mastering, all over flattering, latest and greatest in bathroom mirror backlighting, the answer will always be “you.”

For our August bath issue, we asked local design professionals if Mediterranean tiles in the bath are a classic or a craze. Here’s what they had to say. 

Located in the refreshingly free-form Terryhill area, the home of Marilyn and Jay Cohn is as close to idyllic as one can envision on a warm July afternoon. Their garden is immaculate. Their almost 80-year-old home is immaculate. Their property is an exercise in cohesion and cooperative balance. Everything agrees and everything blends. 

When it comes to bathroom design, mirrors are a necessity. But your choice of mirror doesn’t have to be basic and boring. A statement mirror in an unusual shape, unexpected finish or over-the-top size will make your bath bubble with style.

SLHL: How do you help homeowners come up with a bath design they are seeking?
Anne: First, I learn about the client and who is using the space. Then, I genuinely listen to them… their dream spaces, their “Pinterests,” what they envision and I ask what functionality is missing for them in the space. I try to drive each project by the client’s needs.
