Luis Puerta, Design bathroom belle vivir

I posted about Interior Designer Luis Puerta almost three years ago where I expressed my admiration for his minimal yet very elegant Interior Design.  This bathroom he designed shows one more time his use of strong elements such as ornate wood, herringbone floor and ornate crown moldings to bring personality into more modern interiors with nude walls.  I love the whitewashed herringbone floors, the floor-to-ceiling French doors with inside shutters.  The use of antique furniture and indoor plants in the bathroom makes the space warmer besides the walls being bare.  The bathroom seems to project a Greek influence with the Greek statues displaying in the room.  I could really use a bathroom like this one.

As many of you may have heard, Fashion Designer L’Wrent Scott committed suicide yesterday.  As someone who had experienced the tragedy and desolation of someone in your family committing suicide I can imagine the devastation among her family and friends.  This is a very important moment to reflect on the saying “Do not compare your Inside to Someone Else’s Outside”.  Life is full of competition even when you don’t want to tag along, others sometimes take your actions as a provocation to compete and I can only imagine that this is prevalent even more frequently in the Fashion world.  I’m sure it’s full of great and fantastic people but I’m sure that it is also full of people who would be more than willing to give others the cold shoulder.  For many people everything that has to do with religion or spirituality is passé, but meditation can do wonders to those who feel lonely and without hope.  Only 5 minutes alone in the day with yourself to think and reflect on a greater good is enough to start feeling better.
