It's no wonder CNBC picked one of the bathrooms in this Dallas, Tex. mixed-use building as one of their top 10 "extreme bathrooms." The deep soaking tub, surrounded by a wooden deck, is complemented by showers that drain through a layer of pebbles. Pretty extravagant, but that's sort of the idea of this office/apartment near downtown Dallas. Totaling 17,577 square feet, this is one heck of a set-up for the work-at-home type, with a massive street-level, air-conditioned garage—currently stocked with expensive toys by Porsche and Ferrari. The second story is devoted to the office, while the third and fourth are residential units, one with a moody grey color scheme and the other done up in brilliant white. The price for parking, office, and home all in one? $5.5M.

Rumormongering: Is Shopping at Ikea the Ultimate Depressant After a Breakup?
"Something about IKEA, or any store full of home decor, makes it an epicenter of breakup pain. Do not attempt to buy quirky Swedish goods without a friend with a strong back to accompany you. Something about making decisions about bedspreads or trying to load those ridiculous flat-pack boxes into your cart alone, while surrounded by adorable freshly-habitating couples, may make you horrifically sad. You have been warned."All right, point taken. We will take our displaced loneliness and bring it to Shake Shack.

Gifting: Here's to an EnGAYgement! The Ultimate Design Junkie's Registry
Freelance writer and editor (and former lighting/interiors editor at Architectural Record) William Weathersby has a great eye for gift giving. Yet he's harnessed by a perennial problem: receiving. He can't technically get married in the traditional sense, at least not in most U.S. states. He’s gay. So he sought a single gal pal with equally refined taste and no pre-existing nuptial plans: Curbed National correspondent and Weathersby's fellow Southerner, a one Miss Sarah F. Cox. In a New Year’s haze of libations, licentiousness, and a smattering of greed, Weathersby and Cox decided to become affianced. Expressly for the gifts. So if you were wondering what to get them now that word has leaked out through their Facebook relationship statuses, below please find a curatorial selection of baubles, bricolage, and booty the soon-to-betrothed have in mind. And if you lose this post or forget to bookmark it, please direct yourself to the couple's wedding website. (What? That's not your homepage?)
Why she likes it: Already in possession of an iPhone, it seems silly to make the small upgrade to an iPad when there's an entire portable office to iTrump all the other iJunk.
Why he likes it: That’s one big pocket office. What size are the pants!
Why she likes it: Sit down? Hell no. Both of our firm asses still look mighty fine upright, thank you. Instead, let's get $4,010 worth of furniture that friends can neither sit upon nor sully with red wine stains. (William’s soirees tend to get out of hand.)
Why he likes it: The houseboy can Swiffer everything within a minute flat.
Why she likes it: The Inkhead pattern by Florian Hunter reminds me of a tattoo’d dude I once dated. That reminds me, where's his number?
Why he likes it: I can’t decide between the insects-atop-the-plate pattern, Entomo Black by Monica Tsang, or Lisa Turner’s Anatomica, which is perfect for a Silence of the Lambs buffet (lamb with fava beans paired with a lovely chianti.) Plus, SWITCHMODERN's proprietor, Roy Otwell, is a hottie.
Why she likes it: Colorful and obscure. Let’s help this exquisite SoHo store stay in business if nothing else. $19,000 for a fugly vase—boy, I landed the right guy.
Why he likes it: Mouth. Blown. Enough. Said. Plus, Murray M. has had enough tax troubles of late, so let’s offer a helping hand. And its designer is Gae! (Aulenti).
Why she likes it: Looks like a good hard wood to me. And with Simon Doonan (Mr. Jonathan Adler) being recently named—perhaps downgraded?—to Barneys Creative Ambassador-At-Large, why not invest in solid goods in this economy?
Why he likes it: Always go with a hard wood. And at $5,998, we're not exactly asking you to spend six grand, people.
Why she likes it: William, isn’t this where Anderson Cooper works out?
Why he likes it: I’ll be in the locker room with a CNN “feed” for a while if you need me, Cox.
Why she likes it: I'm bringing the pup, Raleigh, into this relationship. Hellooo, puppy daddy!
Why he likes it: As long as that little bitch is nowhere near my separate bedroom she can have anything she wants.
Why she likes it: Austin Powers Alert: Designed in 1968 by Luigi Massoni, this round bed is ultra-sweet. As they advertise, “The bed headrest is fitted on a 360° rotating base that swivels both clockwise and counter-clockwise, thanks to wheels fitted inside the base.” A set of cotton sheets is also included. Ready to rock.
Why he likes it: Don't even try, Cox—it's going in my room.
Why she likes it: Its linear profile looks like a connect-the-dots or Etch-A-Sketch drawing. And if you're marrying the former lighting editor of Architectural Record magazine—full disclosure, I was William’s intern there without any on-the-record hanky-panky—why not shed some light?
Why he likes it: It’s a steal at $9,100, a limited edition of 10, and, as designer Lindsey Edelman says, “chestnuts, acorns and twigs can be found affixed to arms and joints.” Festive!
Why she likes it: Why was this not my engagement ring! It's 18-carat, bi-color gold with .75 carats worth of diamonds. A rectangular-cut aquamarine—William’s birthstone, a plus—and the diamonds are single, round, and marquise. It's an iconic piece of hand candy. Plus, it can be sized.
Why he likes it: Sarah is a size queen, too—that's part of our love connection—and is the price truly the question?

Why she likes it: Because as crass and materialistic as the world may be, impoverished people always need clean wate.
Why he likes it: Because, like Sarah, I have a heart, too. And I love her.
