Antique Tub, Nostalgia & New; Pendant Lamp (over tub), Mullan Lighting; Pillow and Headboard Fabric in Studio Stripe in Rose, Buchanan Studio. Charlotte and Angus Buchanan are obsessed with taking baths. So much so, the London-based designer couple and cofounders of Buchanan Studio situated their antique tub in the middle of their bathroom. “It’s like this super-luxury, lovely thing that you might get in a hotel room,” says Angus. Key to the whole arrangement was hiding the shower and toilet from view. That’s how the “sheds,” a term coined by the pair’s two children, Riva (6) and Wylder (4), came about. On either side...

Children who play Pokémon may experience developmental changes to their brains, according to research out of Stanford University. The findings, published in the journal Nature Human Behavior, indicate that when kids are consistently exposed to images of Pokémon, a wrinkle in their visual cortex forms specifically to store memories of Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Jigglypuff. The good news is that there’s no reason for parents to panic; Pokébrain might actually be a good thing.The authors of the study were inspired to conduct the experiment by past neurological research on primates, which suggests that there are distinct regions of the brain that develop as a result of early, often, and consistent visual stimuli. Human studies similarly indicate that people have specific neurons...
