I still haven't got over my obsession with wood as the major design element at The Cool House. The
teak shower bases we put in the downstairs bath and
the boys' bath have been very successful; they are warmer than tile, and much less slippery. I'd really like to get more wood into the master bath remodel and have been mulling over the idea of paneling the master bath walls in walnut. I love the concept but I don't want it to look like a 70s sauna, so I'm focusing on wooden sinks and baths that might give me more of the look I want without the feeling I should be beating myself with birch twigs.

Basic tub is probably my favorite, the one that fits best with overall style of the house and it's small enough to replace the existing tub without any major changes to the plumbing or layout of the room. What about you? Any particular tub strike you as swoon-worthy?

Whoa. I must be behind here because this is the first I've ever seen (or heard of) wood sinks and tubs! Very cool. I'm fascinated by this. Thanks for joining my party and teaching me about something new today! :-)
ReplyDeleteLaguna, definitely. Gorgeous! I hadn't heard of these before either! Very cool indeed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images. Very modern design.
ReplyDeleteThat tub is amazing. Rather than paneling, maybe you could do some ceiling beams?
ReplyDeletewhoa is right. how do they prevent the wood from cracking? thanks for posting. Nadine Bouler

ReplyDeleteWho know? I certainly didn't.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea ---a wooden tub? The Laguna is stunning to look at.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for dropping by. I guess I've always had a love of wooden boats and these bathtubs remind me of tugs bobbing in the water. Come back and visit when ever you have a chance.
ReplyDeleteRT, low ceilings and a 6' 3" Guy mean beams are out unless I want to hear Bang, Ouch, Bang, Ouch and assorted swear words when he gets up early and forgets to put the light on...
Gorgeous wood!
ReplyDeleteThat tub is fabulous. Thanks!
