I wouldn't change a thing! I love that the mirror is to the left of the sink. The sink, toilet and tub are "keepers" in my book.

I am currently trying to re-do it and I was thinking of getting rid of the rub and finding out the costs of building a big shower. Now, after seeing this I'm torn. I love your re-do as it is now! Maybe I'll keep my tub and get a shower attachment. Yours looks SO pretty! (When I moved in my sink had a trap but it was drooping off the wall about to fall off!

It's a beauty. We have a small master bath, nothing spectacular but enough for us. As long as the space is planned out well you should be all set. Huge bathrooms are over rated.

Some day anyone who still has one will be the envy of all. I imagine the tub will be history, which is kind of sad, because it has such vintage appeal.

Wow. I never cease to be impressed by you and your talents. That valance is so interesting and I love your little bath tray. <br /><br />I grew up with a clawfoot tub which my parents did not install a shower in until I was about 15. I used to wash my hair in the bathroom sink (or submerge). Those days are gone but I still love a clawfoot tub. Wonderful colour on it. I LOVE the first photo. SO are you losing the tub for the new shower?<br /><br />The reno will be perfect. I think enormous rooms are overrated, particularly bathrooms. They can take up so much real estate and since I am a shower-type, I honestly don't spend all afternoon in there. We are content with the small bathrooms in our house - they are functional but do need an update.<br /><br />Can't wait to see the final result. It will be respectful of the house and perfect, I know.<br /><br />xo TerriWindlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-7991234932716332072011-03-19T14:08:05.698-04:002011-03-19T14:08:05.698-04:00wow!!
