For Those Bubble Baths
We have a large walk-in shower in the master bath and it’s the perfect set up for most days. But every now and then, I do like a luxurious bath and for that I have to go to the guest bathroom. So in a perfect world, I’d have a tub like these in the mater bath.
Who doesn’t like a claw foot tub:
Sleek, modern ones appeal too:
Maybe I could just put a tub in the bedroom?
Or not.
Do your tubs get a lot of use?

Not sure I like the one with the mirror at the end. The last thing I want to look at is me in the all-together!! I love soaking in a tub but the reality is I never do. Who has the time? I do enjoy it when on the odd occasion we are holidaying in some luxury hotel. I fill the tub, lock the door and relax.

I dream of bathrooms like these…and the time to spend in them. All the more reason to have a fabulous power shower in the bathroom too.

I actually prefer a bath to a shower, but you need more time to enjoy it. I love he 2nd from last but the first one took my breath away. Would love to have any of them really Alek. XXXX

Love a good soak!!
the first and second to last images are my favorite!!
completely different from each other but I love them both.
If my bathroom was finished I would take more baths, until then I need to get my bathroom complete:)

Yes! It is one of those things I wait for at the end of the day. I love my tub!

This is a GREAT post! I so enjoyed these pics that I all filed them!
We also have a bath bit hardly used! Always in a hurry taking a shower!

I notice that in the case of all the clawfoot bath images, they are photographed through a doorway with a glimpse of the painted door or doors. The texture and colour of that painted wood (I love those greys) really help to soften the bathrooms and give a sense of entering a sanctuary. But that's an aside. Bathroom no. 4 for me please!

I am thinking of renovating my bathroom, there is so much choice out there< i guess I will make my choice based on my budget, this photos are very inspirational!!

#8 is DIVINE. We hope to remodel our master bath in the next couple of years. I've already picked out the taps and the wallpaper.

I'm dying to soak in one of those beautiful bath tubs with a glass of bubbly! Especially the first three…love the vintage bathroom look…so cozy! xxx LZ

oh my gosh that concrete-looking tub is amazing!!!
so many beautiful peasecul rooms.. ahhhhhhh
I never use a bath – only shower – though I LOVE the modern ones that aren't attached to the wall. I could almost get into it (no pun intended). I just don't like it when baths have showers attached to them. I like the 2 to be stand alone.

a tub in the bedroom, now that's an idea i like! all of your choice are perfect, i especially love the white mirror over that one tub.

These are all so soothing…Love both the traditional and modern pics!

I love a freestanding tub — it's such a statement. I probably have a bath a few times a month, but it's one of my favorite ways to unwind.

The fourth one down is incredible. Well, they all are of course, but that one is particularly lustworthy!

Admittedly, I'm more of a shower girl. But perhaps, if my tub and bathroom more resembled number four, then a bathing queen I might become! :0)

I'm a huge tub lover! Last year, we installed our first tub and it is the greatest finale to my long days!
I'm going to move into the first image!

my tub bath has lots of use. it's so nice to spend time in it with my favourite bath tea (from wittard of chelsea). and now that winter is comming to town… even better.
i would love to have the first one in my bedroom. next home i buy i'll have to have a bath tub like that one in my bedroom with a mirror like the one on the 8th shot.
great post.

Hey, So I'm loving the tub in the bathroom and the one with that large mirror. Because I live in a really old apartment building, (an old school from 1930) I'm ummmm, shy about putting my tuckus on a place that's seen a lot of foot traffic. It's a shame because I really love baths- hot steaming baths and lots of candles are so relaxing. I wonder if I can resurface the tub to give that shiny, porcelain look. Who knows? I am actually open to suggesstions!
No kidding!! I have a folder full of floating tubs for my post friday!! I may steal some of your lovely samples

We have a claw foot bath and it does feel luxurious saoking in it…and for a moment, just a moment mind, you forget that the bathroom needs to be gutted because of the uber bad DIY renovation it suffered! Lovely post.

Jennifer: Good point. I know I wouldn't want to look at myself like that!
Julie: I'll post it to you right away.
mise: Very observant of you. I didn't notice that but you're right, it's a great effect.
Lindsey Lou: I can relate to that from my days of living in old apartments. I'm useless at DIY so I'm sorry I can't help there but I'm sure there are ways to resurface yours. Keep us posted!
karly: Not long ago I drafted an entire post about a hotel (the one in Barcelona) then saw it on your blog! You're welcome to any pics, of course.
sweet jesus! number 4 and 8 are just about the most awesome tub situations ever.
i use my bath at least once a week. my daughter uses it 7 days a week. which is why it needs to be reglazed. it's a clawfoot. a relic.
.-= my favorite and my best´s last post ..rock the vote bitches! =-.
So many gorgeous options, how could I pick just one? But the 4th image, with the gray/taupe walls behind the glass doors, that would be where I would love to be found soaking away.

Can we say, "Calgon take me away!" I would love to sink to the bottom of one of those glorious bath tubs!

I’m so glad you posted this today because god knows I need a relaxing bath! I think I’ll daydream about these instead of folding the laundry and packing for a work trip
Love the little tulip table as a bath side table!
I lust after clawfoot tubs… Some day we'll have one. But the truth is, I personally take showers rather than baths… But I'll do anything for a beautiful vintage tub – I'll even take long baths, if I *have* to!

I've never been a tub gal, but it's probably bc we've never had one in our bathroom. The one in the kids' bath is hardly relaxing with the squirters and boats and barbies stashed nearby. I think if I had one of these dreamy tubs, I'd find my bubble bath gene!

I love those old claw foot tubs…
.-= erin@designcrisis´s last post ..Dark and Glossy is Supah Flossy =-.
LOVE these decadent bath tubs! I have a plain old bath/shower combo that I never use. But if I had a gorgeous clawfoot, I'd at least use it weekly!

I love all these images…I wish I had a tub. My new place in Boston does not, sad face.
.-= Deliciously Organized´s last post ..still very INTO Fall =-.
Cute little stool in the 2nd pic…gives me an idea.
I think I like that first bath tub the most, then that textural gray bath mat.
These bathrooms are stunning!
