Modern Luxury

Powder Room Pointer: Tuck that toilet away. If possible, avoid placing the toilet where it's visible from the front door when the powder room door is open. "To preserve decorum, when the hostess gestures to the second door on the left, one should not be staring at the toilet," says Mary Evelyn McKee.
