In a home chosen to inspire a new, more relaxed lifestyle, homeowner Karen Newman and her husband transformed their bathroom into a peaceful getaway with design inspiration provided by the classic film Lawrence of Arabia. A fantastic three-dimensional wall sculpture by artist Jacqueline Smith gives the new Arabian getaway the feeling of a romantic desert island, complete with camels and palm trees set against a soothing desert-sand background. Soft desert colors -- peach, soft cream and beige -- are combined with muted tones of blue and purple-blue in the sky. Peachy-pink marble used throughout the bathroom continues the soothing feeling. Skylights allow bright light into the large space, which includes a whirlpool, a television and a fabulous five-headed therapy shower.
