This one, featured in The Wall Street Journal, is in a carriage house belonging to designer Jonathan Reed. The house was on the market last year in London, and a peek into the master bathroom reveals a tidy desk and chair in the corner of the frame. (The Wall Street Journal)
Another working powder room, highlighted in Architectural Digest, belongs to photographer Steven Meisel in Beverly Hills. He's set up his lavatory into a combination living room/home office, complete with a coffee table, upholstered chairs and a reading desk — in addition to the shower and vanity. (Architectural Digest)
Those two rooms are enough to pique our interest, but we combed the archives of Apartment Therapy to find this post highlighting a shared office and bathroom from New York Magazine way back in 2009. So is it a trend? Tough to say. Personally, I wouldn't want to work so close to the tub or toilet, no matter how tight it gets in my apartment. But something tells me these hangouts aren't economical space-savers, like when you or I would stash a dining table in the kitchen. So what do you think: Yay or nay on the bathroom workspace?
