Bathroom renovation














Well, it's about time we are done with the bathroom!

We were sick and tired of the old (man-made marble) tub that had the jacuzzi wannabe arm rests that took 1 feet from the witdth of the bath surface. It's no secret that I like taking baths with the wife but the experience used to be "really cozy".
So we decided to get rid of the tub, enlarge the shower, put a frameless glass door and double heads/handshower on a sliding bar for Isabella.
We used Bisazza glass mosaic. At first, we wanted to do just the floor like that, but we loved the look and went with the whole shower enclosure.
The shower head on the bar is by hansgrone and the shower head and valves/thermostast are by kohler. We have the "rainshower" 7" head. It's very relaxing... but since I rarely take showers relaxing and thinking I was on a tropical forest.... most likely at 5:30 in the morning with 15 minutes to be ready, we are changing the arm and showerhead to a hansgrone jet series so it's more like little needles instead of droplets.
We finish the floors with marble instead of wood floors (what was I thinking!) and one thing we never thougth about it... the Aha stool by Stark. It works perfect due to the small footprint. We are very happy with the outcome. Now the wife have more than adecuate real estate for all her stuff but I miss the coziness...
