Mediterranean Bathroom
No demolition. No permission. No commitment.
A rental bathroom in a major city, but the warm plaster and morning light say Palermo. Nothing here required a drill, a contractor, or a conversation with a landlord.
The white tile was already there. The curtain rod was already there. We layered linen, ceramic, brass, and teak on top, and let the building be what it is.

Teak shower stool
Solid teak, small, sits beside the tub or inside the shower. Holds towels, a bar of soap, the things you want within reach. Teak weathers better than olive wood in a wet room.

Brown ceramic vase with handles
Hand-thrown in brown glaze with two small handles. Holds one olive branch. The point of a vase in a bathroom is the silence around it.

Pure linen bath towels, set of four
One hundred percent linen, stonewashed, heavier than what came with the apartment. The kind you use at a Sicilian B&B in October and spend the rest of the year thinking about.
