While MS Office may not be available for Chromebooks, there are numerous free alternatives that can cater to your productivity needs. Starting on May 11, a hazard search was performed, looking for unknown objects that could be a danger to the spacecraft, such as rings or hitherto undiscovered moons, which could then possibly be avoided by a course change. These living rooms are a case in point: Neutral floors and furniture create a simple, modern starting point. Small and mid-size tenants are in the market now, especially in areas that may be closer to where their employees live, and buildings are being leased starting with the lower floors. If you’re in the market for a really fabulous, totally modern bath, this one offers great inspiration. If you prefer a vanity sink, look for one in blonde wood with chrome banding and hardware, or have a vintage “moderne” chest of drawers converted. The classic retro look is a white pedestal sink; if you need the room, try a wood vanity painted in high-gloss white or, for the adventurous, metal finished with appliance-grade paints.

Choose a streamlined pedestal sink or a vanity with an interesting sink — perhaps hammered stainless steel or an art-glass bowl that sits entirely on top of the counter. Black granite tiles matching the vanity countertop were also used as flooring to unite all elements of the room. A pale marble, solid-surfacing, or laminate vanity countertop is a natural. With a slight shift of colors (lime instead of mint, for example) plus different fabric and laminate patterns, your retro look could flash forward to the early ’60s. Choose retro-patterned vinyl or linoleum flooring and laminate countertops. For example,­ this bath is obviously large, but even a small space will look bigger if you keep the vanity, walls, and flooring in the same light tones and smooth textures. To keep the room visually spacious, branched quartzite from Brazil was randomly placed as the flooring and as the wall accent. Accent with shiny modern chrome fittings, and scour flea markets and architectural salvage dealers for chrome counter edging, fittings, and vintage modern cabinet hardware. For accent colors, repeat your dramatic color, and add a few others — acid green, teal or violet-blue, lush cantaloupe or scarlet — and carry it out in accessories sparked with chrome and black.

To start, take your basic white bath, toss in a few bright primary colors and hot pastels (perhaps red, turquoise, and yellow, or coral, mint, and royal blue), and mix in a pinch or two of black for drama. The researchers originally set out to study a different aspect of black holes. In 2002, NASA researchers successfully demonstrated the use of spotlights and laser beams to provide small, unmanned solar craft with necessary energy. These two baths use tiles — some solid-color mosaic, some a mottled mix of related tones — to create depth and interest within a limited color range. But it also exhibits the intelligent use of design concepts that can work just as well in a smaller room. Flight attendants may work long, difficult hours, but when they clock out, they could find themselves anywhere — from Paris to Dubai. You may not have room for this many cabinets, but try a triptych (three-section) mirrored cabinet on one wall with the same model on the opposite or adjacent wall, and see how the space opens up. If privacy isn’t a problem on your property, why not treat your bath to the same scenic pleasures you give your living room?

These homeowners added space from a nearby bedroom and closet to their small existing bath to create a new 31×9-foot bath worthy of its inspiring garden view. The lovely view is made even more inspiring with wonderful framing. For even more drama, a combination of metallic finishes was applied to the walls, imparting a subtle, gleaming luster. Specify nonslip ceramic, natural stone, or even commercial rubber floor tiles. This quartzite is a metamorphic sandstone formed by water and minerals traveling through the capillaries of the stone, creating a unique texture and veins, or dendrites, that appear as “branches” in the stone. For your shower curtain, choose an abstract print in adventurous color combinations or in neutrals with an interesting texture. Finish it off with perky café curtains or a valance in retro-print fabrics (available new or in savvy flea market shops) over metal Venetian blinds, with a matching shower curtain.
