Bathing Beauties. The cover of the April issue of Metropolitan Home features the always-popular High/Low feature — this time focusing on a bathroom — a great resource for Bathroom Month! The entire issue has a kitchen and bath theme while covering a broad range of homes...
High/Low
• We noticed a lot of the LOW furnishings came from Brocade Home and CB2.
• We have always been fans of framing pattered textiles and wallpaper. (Just last weekend we framed a piece of wrapping paper!)
• Shawn Henderson's Manhattan 1 Bedroom (Shawn is eBay's Design Director for Home & Garden). A wonderful (small) apartment that ATers will appreciate. We love the casement windows.
• Almost half of the Market Report section has been covered previously on AT.
• Met Home of the Month: A Manhattan apartment designed by Maya Lin. $$$. Some interesting storage solutions with built-ins.
• Modern in (Ann Arbor) Michigan. Designed by Pentagram's James Biber. Crazy for MCM. Great roof!
• David Oldroyd renovates a Palo Alto Tract House. Great mix of furniture.

i always find, from my newsstand scans, that met home is a bit flat and i never buy an issue. even the high/low feature seems old hat. rather than choose an entire room of high or low a mix seems more current.
i keep getting my dwell and met home in the mail on the same day...and it's such a treat! of course, i find myself not so wowed anymore...but it's still so much fun to peek inside.
i ran across "new york home" magazine the other day (i had never seen it before!) and i'm thinking maybe it's a superduper cross between dwell and met home...and i should just subscribe to that one instead hehe
Note the shell! It's not a conch, but it's there.
canadian House & Home is focusing on bathrooms this month as well, what's up? It's pretty convenient for those renovating, but for those who have no plans to change the bathroom, it's a bit of a bummer.
Oh and from this point forward I will be known as angieinmontreal, since I've noticed there is another angie.
I think they now do the LOW and then build the HIGH off that instead of vice versa. I read it and thought it should be retitled "How To Get the Brocade Home Look For More"
I've thought the same thing Julianna!
