The re-enamel job was terribly done and after about two years it started chipping and cracking. Now sheets of it are coming off the tub in 2″ sections and it looks horrible (and is not super safe with a little one around). And once it’s been re-enameled, it can’t be done again. So now I have to rip out the tub and tile to replace it, which means also demoing the the old archway framing the tub, which means replacing the floor. It’s a domino effect! Luckily, my custom vanity and top can stay, as well as the new toilet. So while we’re doing all this, I figured let’s give this bath a facelift too. I still love how it looks, but now that it’s mostly Henry’s bath, I want to make it a little more masculine.
I love this art (print from Artfully Walls, frame is antique) and am kind of using it as a jumping off point for the design.
Popping in to remind you that if you live in the Boston area and haven’t been able to attend one of my book events, here’s your chance – I’ll be signing books at Designer Bath on Wednesday, May 15.
As I think through some places I want to travel to for my 40th birthday this summer, I began thinking about the English countryside. I read somewhere that Harry and Meghan spent a little “holiday” here at Heckfield Place (BTW, what do we think of the name Archie?), so I had to check it out. And boy am I glad I did. This is the place my English countryside dreams are made of!
I was SO delighted to receive an email from one of our readers, Laura, whose space we chose for one of my “Style Solutions” posts, showing us how she actually implemented our design in her space! How cool is that?
