Steal This Look: An Achromatic Bath with Modern Details

November 9, 2021

We love a Barbara Bestor-designed bath. The LA architect paired up with Carter Design to bring a modern black and white theme to the upstairs bath of a renovated Victorian in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Here we dissect the look with a mix of exact and similar sources.
