SHOWER LOVE In Miami

I remember spending part of a summer in Italy 

with a school friend.

We stayed at pensiones in Florence and in Venice.

I remember vividly how that the shower heads 

just came out of the wall in the bathrooms.

There was no shower curtain or door.

There was just a drain in the middle of the floor.

I thought it was brilliant.

And it is.

As you see an example of the same idea above.

Would you 

have a bathroom with a shower like this if you could?

Or do you 'NO LIKIE?'

Guest Blogger Buster Barman Is Back

Hi

I am Buster Barman 

my dad is a super famous designer based in NYC

DUH....!

John Barman installed a retractable, floor-to-ceiling door between the previously boxy spaces of his 1,500-square-foot Miami Beach apartment to allow immediate ocean views from every room. In the living area, Barman placed Thonet chairs from the 1950s and vintage accessories.

My daddy is John Barman.

He recently designed our new home in Miami Beach, 

it ended up on the September cover 

of Architectural Digest. 

That's my dad

John Barman, 

 designer extraordinaire!

I think it is spectacular. 

The colors are fun and happy.

Everything is bright and clean.

{i better steer clear of the carpets...or else}

This is where I hang out when my dad is entertaining.

The kitchen.

Occasionally someone looks the other way and I can 

steel a tidbit or two. 

Dad has hidden the sub zero behind cabinetry.

Do you like?

Architectural Digest did!

Another carpet to steer clear of!!!

...but it looks inviting.

Dad raised the ceilings in this room to 15 delicious feet.

How is that for a view?

This is the last room in the house to show you.

It is a combination office/guest room.

Lucky guests huh?

When dad is gone 

I nap on this bed 

and watch the action down on the beach.

The Tides In South Miami Beach -Architectural Touches

I grew up in South Beach, we would skip school ( at Ida M. Fisher Junior High) and go for ice cream at a place called 'Dipper Dans ', which was about 2 blocks from the ocean, and around the corner from The Tides Hotel on South Miami Beach.

Do not water the gold palms in the corner !

I think this is a great architectural touch, I see these as architectural accessories.

Really glamorous !

Turtle soup anyone ???

Seriously elegant, but I am hoping they are fake.

I love these dividers, and they are easy enough to recreate.

A suite at The Tides.

A super long chesterfield....more classic elegance.

Notice the DECO touches.
