Part 5: Finished One Bath and On To The Next

We have made some major progress since I last checked in here, so much so that we’re very close to being finished with the current bathroom and we’re moving on to the next one! Of course, this process didn’t happen without a series of hiccups and issues, which I’ll delve into below. I also have some controversial content to share! And just a heads up, this post is a long one…

Luxury Marble Tub Decks and Surrounds... Should I or Shouldn't I Install One In Our Home?

If you’re a bathing enthusiast you may have seen undermount alcove tubs surrounded by marble on both the front apron and the top deck. And you may have thought like myself “I need that luxury in my life”. Perhaps you’ve wondered about the functionality or considered what it must feel like bathing in such a set up. Well much like how I over think everything when it comes to design, I have spent a lot of time thinking (perhaps overthinking) this whole situation and whether or not I should install a marble tub surround in our home.

Part 2: Classic Design Traits from Bathrooms Built in the Early 1900s & a Short History of Modern Plumbing

In my last post which you can find (here) I announced that we’ll be renovating not one, but two of our bathrooms, almost entirely at the same time. Before I can share my design plans, I felt it was really important to share my inspiration and a little bit about the history of plumbing, which actually has a lot to do with how I am planning on going about designing these spaces.
