Blue Moon Tub

Bathing not in a tub but in a pool. The more water, the more space, the more depth the better. With its square corpus and round tub the Blue Moon whirlpool looks like a pool; and with its water depth of 530 mm it feels like one, too – despite occupying an area of just 140 x 140 cm. Immerse yourself in water with mood-setting colored lights. Bathing in a pool? Letting yourself go? Floating? Pure relaxation? It’s not easy to describe the feeling. Suffice to say that Blue Moon is a unique bathing experience.

Erosion Concrete Sink

Erosion can be a force to be reckoned with, we can try to prevent it, but in this case let it slide.  The Erosion sink is the signature sink by Gore Design Co.  It is made with concrete, and it really looks as if a pool of water has etched and formed sinking profiles overtime leading to the drain.  The interesting texture formed by light on the “levels of wear” are fascinating.Gore Design Co. is a vanguard artisan studio specializing in custom concrete surfaces and interiors. Countertops, sinks, furniture, architectural elements – all handcrafted using pioneering eco-friendly techniques.

Heat Sensitive Tiles

Heat sensitive tiles

The Northern Lights inspired tile line by Moving Color is a technicolor wonder of spectacular proportions.  These 4×4 glass tiles are black at room temperature, but all that changes with a turn of the shower taps; a gradual spectral display of the aurora borealis in your very own shower would make for a delightful morning treat. Wouldn’t these be fun in a guest bath? I love surprises. I saw the real phenomenon only once in the Muskoka region way back when I was in teen summer camp, I jipped myself out of the true experience watching the Northern Lights as I didn’t have contacts back then and I refused to wear my so-not-cool glasses, from what I could see it was beautiful, oh the things we do for our summer crushes.

Le Jardin Basin

Le Jardin Basin

I love the classic look of a good toile fabric, and this Acorn and Oakleaf pattern effects me in the same way.  The traditional yet flirty pattern and Garnet on Sand color choice in the Le Jardin Basin is just divine! Sherle Wagner has a matching wallpaper, just be careful not to get too matchy, solid bath linens with accent garnet ribbon detailing will do just fine and perhaps just an accent wall of the matching wall covering.

Waterworks Opus Faucet Line

The line of faucets by Waterworks (where water is their muse) truly reflects the natural elemental beauty of water. The Crystal Egg Handles of the Opus Lavatory Faucet in Nickel finish and shower Opus Wall Valve Trim are like drops of clear cool water.  Inviting and organic, I wouldn’t mind this set in my ensuite. Lever handles are also available and matching accessories like the Opus Moon Sconce, the Opus Single Vanity, and much more.They look great against the Iceberg Matte Penny Tiles don’t they?

Point of Use Water Heaters

Point of Use Water Heaters

Ever wonder when you take a shower at a large hotel how hot showers are instant no matter how many people may be running hot water the same time as you?  I used to think that a hotel must have to store fantastic amounts of hot water heaters to supply such a demand! Inline electric water heaters (tank-less water heaters that heat water at the point of use) are used and save amazing amounts of energy and provide zero wait time for warm water.  Let’s get green and save our money and resources by making smart changes in our homes! Here is an excerpt from an online article that is very thought provoking:

A recently released report, by the OPA, states that 33% of Ontario electricity consumption is due to “electric home water heaters”, according to a Toronto Star article by Peter Gorrie, Feb 4 2006. What took OPA so long to figure this out? You would have thought that someone would have thought of inline electric water heaters, a long time ago. Inline electrical water heaters are an obvious solution to reduce electricity consumption. Inline electrical water heaters, raise the water temperature to the usage temperature as its being used and thus save energy as follows. This means: No standby loss. No dilution loss. No exhaust loss (as in natural gas water heaters).
