Bathtub finish?

5 years ago

Curious to hear what the finish is on this built in bath? Is it the same material as the countertop across the vanity? Thanks

Yes, the tub and counter top both use the same quartz material.

I don't how to finish my bathroom

Hi Lilly! Well... I have to be honest and admit that I was thinking about lying and saying it's great, etc. The truth is: I've never used it! not once. I'm a shower girl and it's not that I won't take a bath (I would, I promise I'm not whiffy!!) it's just that since we've moved in, I never had the time or felt the need. Plus, I feel guilty and uneasy thinking of the amount of water I'd waste filling up that monster (and we have a second tub in the loft bathroom that's smaller -- never used that one either...) When we chose the tub, I think hubby and I were a bit nostalgic; I used to have this huge hideous burgundy corner bath in the house I bought just before we met and let's just say, we used to like taking baths together (hmmmm...). So we went for a large one, I guess both thinking of our almost decade old adventures'! I did however undertake an experiment for you: I went and laid in it, just to see how it is. I'm 1.62m (about 5'4'') and with a slight bend of either knees or neck, you can sleep quite comfortably in there. I also thought it could be a great hiding place in case of 'god forbids': fill half of it with water, add bubbles and submerge - it's enough to cover all of you & hopefully nobody will think to look for you in there! :)) I've digressed ... not sure if I answered your question. If you wanted details about the make of the tub - this is a Clearwater natural stone bathtub: http://www.clearwaterbaths.com/products_main.asp?cat=201&subcat=395 I can tell you another downside of it: if you ignore the waste of space and water, you can't ignore the amount of dust that accumulates in it. I've resorted at hoovering it; just rinsing it with water didn't do it.... But hey! it looks great and generates questions on Houzz, so I guess it has its uses, right?!! :))

Which style of bath tub do you prefer? Free standing or in a deck?
Q

You can use side panels or a deck/surround to create what is, in effect, a free standing bath that would work well aesthetically and, optionally, as part of a wetroom-style bathroom. Deep soaking tubs are especially effective for such projects; they have smaller footprint, which affords more room in the shower area, but their greater depth makes them exceptionally comfortable.

Help needed for finishing touches

Hello lonec1, Thank you! : )) .. I took the inspiration from what you already have, but I just "see" what works with what is already in the picture or I just decide if there are no images or guidelines. I make very quick decisions but they are very considered if that makes any sense at all! .. .. The chest is an antique piece from Shimu and is £645 I think .. but shopping around of course you could find cheaper.. (I have discussed trade with them before) The lighting is Noguchi which I am sure you know of course, seeing as you have the table. I happen to love these and Ikea did a similar one years ago quite large with 3 legs and a bamboo circular top, but they have not had anything that good since.. .... and the chair is Eames but not one that is possibly really well known.. I loved the shelving piece antique and thought it was fantastic for behind the dining table.. With very little on it.. So it is really a piece of art.. With maybe the little lamp on it.. .. The butterfly stool (like putting your hands together at the wrists.. is Sori Yanagi.. Do ask if you need any other advice... : ))

Lounge finishing touches - product and style advice please?

Looks like a nice space -I could easily relax in your lovely corner sofa! Personally, 1. I would add rattan chair - natural colour, you have loads of cushions so 1 or 2 on the rattan chair would tie in with your scheme. 2. The pictures above the sofa could be moved to the left to line up more against the end of the sofa. 3. The lamp on the white table - try to find something much bigger - relative to the sofa it appears very small. The main thing is not to sweat too much - rooms devolve and part of the fun/enjoyment is finding things that you like.
