A formal garden at the urban cottage of P. Allen Smith in Little Rock, Arkansas, showcases several intensive gardening practices, including raised beds, containers and interplanting. Planting spring vegetable seeds around tulips is an especially clever idea that combines edible and ornamental gardening.

Interior designer Vern Yip chose to cover surfaces, floor to ceiling, with Ann Sacks glass tile that would reflect light from the far window back into the space. Stylish furnishings provide ample space for storage while contributing to the space's clean, modern aesthetic. "I wanted that bathroom to feel really spa-like and peaceful," he says.

With dark wood sides, the mirrored cabinet lends richness to the room while providing several shelves of storage space and a power outlet. "There's plenty of space for blowing hair dry or putting on your makeup or whatever it is that you need to do," says Vern. "Everything is there, it's just hidden."

Resting atop a custom-built pedestal, a white porcelain figure caught Vern's eye before he began design plans for HGTV Urban Oasis. Swimmer, sculpted by José Santaeulalia for Spanish porcelain manufacturer Lladro, seems to spring from the Hudson River into the bathroom space. "The bathroom is oftentimes a place where people are nervous about putting art because of the humidity and the dampness," says Vern. "This is a perfect solution."

Two black-and-white photographs, taken by Vern, add drama in the space. "They were part of my initial research in New York for Urban Oasis," he says. "One's taken inside the Met and the other is taken inside a retail store. It's a perfect example to me of how New York is filled with great stuff: old stuff, new stuff and everything in between. It's the reason I love the city. It celebrates diversity. It celebrates creativity. It's just a really rich place to live and to experience."
