From Julie & Sarah:
The Ace Hotels in Seattle, Portland, Palm Springs, and New York all feature simple, black-and-white baths, with easily sourced hardware-store and industrial elements. Photos from Flickr.

Recreate the look at home with the following elements:

Fantastic post. I've always admired Ace in Portland. Any ideas on sources for the corner wall mount sink they used?
Can anyone provide source information for the clawfoot tub shower enclosure/facuet? I can't find anything online that seems to be of comparable quality.
Check out these medicine cabinets--nicer design than Ohmega Too, and made by a craftsman in Brooklyn, NY

I built and powdercoated all the bath accessories for Ace Palm Springs and NYC. It wasn't that easy. You will note, all mine are black with no threads showing per health code reasons. Take a look at those robe hooks. Plated screws. Try doing that, I dare you to hide the threads!
