Splish Splash



 Everything is a miracle.  It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one's bath like a lump of sugar.
~Pablo Picasso

 

It is time to look for a tub/shower for the guest bathroom.   Tubs are highly personal.  Some people love to soak for a long time and listen to music.  Others love candles and a good view.  Oh la la and when love is in the air........

There are so many styles and shapes.  I love the clean lines of  the simple, stand alone tubs.  I wanted the white tub above.  It turns out they are all too wide for the space.  Very disappointing.  I had to look for something else.  Plus, after all, this bathroom is very, very small.  I just felt because it is so small it needed something special. 



Herr Reinhart suggested a clawfoot tub.  We had stayed in the historic Wawona Hotel in Yosemite National Park years ago.  Our room had a private bath with a clawfoot tub with a shower.  I began looking at clawfoot tubs.  Not as costly.  Will fit in the small confines of this tiny bathroom.  It has a specialness.  And I could paint the outside whatever color I wanted if I so desired! 

 

Off to Ohmega Salvage in Berkeley to do some tub shopping!
