The bathroom is a perfect place to use outdoor items such as terra-cotta pots, natural-fiber rugs and picket fencing. Designer Bobbie Snow O'Neill brings functional design elements from the garden into the bathroom. Terra-cotta pots and planters work beautifully in a bathroom, holding everything from soap and toothbrushes to shampoo, towels and magazines. Use a large patterned clay pot to hold rolled-up towels near the tub (figure A). A small wall sconce of terra cotta and wrought iron keeps combs and brushes within easy reach over the sink (figure A), and a large rectangular planter serves as a handy magazine holder on the back of the toilet.
