From Janet:
Some of us struggle with the issue of where to store supplies in the shower. Not happy with the idea of suction-cup soap holders or over-the-shower-head shampoo racks? Consider the versatile Mercer Bath System, $149 from Pottery Barn. Install the 36-inch-long bar in your shower or bath and you get instant storage: three hooks and two hanging caddies (one round and one rectangular), perfect for stashing shampoo, soap, sponges. Bonus: the polished nickel finish is lacquered to stand up to moisture.

Sometimes a clock can set the tone for a room, as in this bath from Living Etc. The clock is the 17-inch Calendar Wall Flip Clock, from Dutch company Karlsson, not as easy to come by as one would think. In the US, it’s available at Conran for $295; we have seen them crop up on ebay. The clock is also available on Amazon UK for £69.99.
