Save My Bath for Rockers
I was speaking with a fan of my HGTV show, Save My Bath, about a recent episode that just aired. She was surprised at the outcome of this bathroom because it was so “out there” (in her words). Well… I was a bit taken aback, as you may imagine. She said “don’t you design a space based on your own good taste?” *Good* being a relative word, of course, because what is good taste? My taste is removed from the equation when I’m designing for other people. After all, people are like snow flakes – there is not one that is like the other.
This bathroom was designed for the Belisle family. Hubby used to be in a metal rock band, and wifey was also a musician. They had masks and skulls all around the house, and a poker room tricked out with a flame-motif table. They were fun, young and edgy. So their bathroom had to reflect that. Shabby Chic was not an option.
The ingredients for this Room Recipe: Chrome, lucite, glass and a vibrant color palette.

I am glad the bathroom was designed with the owners taste as a priority. Not just the designer's vision. The owners after all are the ones that have to reside in the home and use the bathroom. Everyones taste can not be the same. How boring would that be. Everyone's house a clone of the other.
