Bathing Beauties
I’ve been dreaming about tubs lately. I’ve never resided in a house with a bathroom big sufficient to have a freestanding tub as well as walk-in shower. however I firmly believe in the concept of collecting concepts for the time when I may online in such a place. always great to be prepared, I say.
I Instagrammed this copper beauty last January — a showpiece of the Ikea bathroom installation at the interior style show in Toronto. No, you can’t buy this at Ikea, however the clever team there was showing exactly how you can save a bundle by designing a bathroom with Ikea cabinetry as well as fittings, then splurge on a stunner like this. It was a extremely take on advertising move that assists stimulate the imagination. task well done, Ikea. as well as just last week I spotted this tub once again at Addison’s, a vintage plumbing emporium, presided over by soft-spoken Scot as well as utter font style of plumbing knowledge, Jim Addison, as well as his adorable St. Bernard, Morag. Such a beaut (the tub as well as Morag)!
On the weekend I discovered this handsome set-up on Bathsofdistinction.com, a goldmine of tubs on the web. This style combines the very best features of a huge open shower as well as a deep tub all in one spot. The key right here is that all water sprinkle as well as overflow discover their method into an in-floor drain. No shower curtain assaults. It’s history-meets-modern-wet-room. like it.
Here are some other wonderful tubs spotted on the site:
This one has a bit of an ocean liner vibe, however I believe it’s definitely more Billy Zane than Leo. I’m okay with that. The brass rivets make it.
Copper is coming on strong in kitchens as well as bathrooms. This is an fascinating design, since it succeeds in looking vintage as well as contemporary at the exact same time.
One thing I’ll always like about a clawfoot tub is that it offers an chance to up the embellishing ante in a method other tubs don’t. this delivers a pop of Sherwin-Williams Oceanside Blue (SW-6496). So perfect for a waterside home.
Permit me to digress from the topic of bathtubs for a moment to share this — holy amazing! I would like to do a configuration such as this for the outside shower I’m planning for my cottage. only three more sleeps up until I’m headed there for the very first go to of the season. Can’t wait.
