Here are before and after photos of the Dunham residence family bathroom remodel/redesign in London, Ohio. The home is a Craftsman era design with lots of built in cabinetry and minimalist functionality. These elements were incorporated into the bathroom design while simultaneously giving a nod to modern contemporary design. Our desire is that this design will remain tasteful over time and that the clients need for functionality is met seamlessly with the form.

The end result speaks for itself and the Dunhams couldn't be happier!

 A soaking tub was a definite must have for Susan Dunham to take her calgon baths in!

 An existing closet door was reclaimed and converted to a pocket door to open up the space by eliminating the door swing.

 Flush mount medicine cabinets are a nice way to seamlessly blend an often obtrusive feature.

 This troth drain nearly disappears into the floor adding to the minimalist design approach.

 A floating built in vanity is a great addition to add dimension and style. It also creates a counter balance to the heaviness of the soaking tub by creating a sense of lightness in the room.

 This stone feature adds great movement and depth to the room.

Saarinen Base With Custom Made Rosewood Top

Picked up this wonderful table which has an original aluminum Saarinen base topped by a custom made Rosewood veneer top. This table top was cut to exact proportions and finished with a beautiful Italian Rosewood Veneer.  Stunning really!
Now to find some Saarinen Tulip Chairs with aluminum bases to match. Will be enjoyed for a time in our home until some lucky individual buys it for keeps.

Peter Hamburger for Knoll Crylicord Floor Lamp

Lucite, Chrome and timeless design....what's not to love? We have found some amazing lamps this month and this is one of them.

Maison Jansen Gueridons.

These fab, Hollywood Regency styled Gueridons from the 1950s are just oozing with glamorous style with their Hand Chased Brass and rams head and hoof animal motif. Possibly Maison Jansen and if not a very close representation thereof. Lots of nice patina!

Quartite Creative Corp. 1959

Here is a wonderful pair of Mid Century Modern lamps marked 1959 we recently acquired. I have had these before in singles and have always been struck by their minimalist styling and form.  Nice to have found a set!

Otmar Furniture.

Furniture by Otmar is something of local treasure to the South Eastern Ohio region. Since 1960 this handcrafted furniture business has thrived, albeit, under the radar, having a steady and dedicated clientele of aficionados. All the while staying true to Danish Modern design and old school craftsmanship standards. We recently had the pleasure of finding this wonderful chair and ottoman in dire need of refinishing. We and the upholster could hardly believe the quality of the build and frame of this piece. Otmar Furnishings certainly rival the best you can find in the MCM/Danish Modern design and craft.

If you get a chance stop by their showroom at 301 W Franklin St Centerville Ohio. Prepare to be wowed and bring your check book! Mr Otmar told me on a recent visit to his showroom, that he has NEVER ran an Advertisement. What  a testament to the quality his family produces.

Russel Wright

Somewhere between Heywood Wakefield and Paul McCobb lies the design elements of Russel Wright. These Conant Ball chairs are a fine example of his great use of beautiful blonde Maple and Mid Century curves and lines. Truth be told Russel Wright designed for Heywood Wakefield in early career so it is easy to see from where these latter Conant Ball designs have their roots. Best know for his American Modern Dinnerware, Russel Wright believed that the table was the center of the home and designed in layers from there outward. If you have moment take a look at his amazing home Dragon Rock at Manitoga, which brought nature and architecture into a stunning union.
