Bathing Beauty

Apparently there was a competition in the late 80s for the biggest bathtub.  The original owners of our house probably did a victory lap in this baby.  



This bathing beauty is literally under spotlights and takes up a sizable chunk of our 15' x 15' bathroom.  It is surrounded by white carpet which is always a smart design choice.



Perhaps in an effort to keep it from upstaging the tub, the shower was banished to the water closet.



Don't get me wrong.  I definitely appreciate the benefits of a good hot soak.  But, I am looking forward to downsizing the tub to this ...


Victoria & Albert's York Tub


It will be moved out of the center of the room, so the shower will get to come out of hiding.  Of course, it will still make a really nice focal point, and with a chandelier centered over it, it could be a real showstopper... I wonder if I could enter it in a contest...

  2. Can't wait to compare bathroom renovations. Still haven't heard from our "contractor", unclear whether he is really a contractor or just plays one but my husband says he is a real nice guy. Anyway, we took the wallpaper off and my friend seriously said the bathroom came out nice. Maybe the wallpaper was just that ugly?
