This is where we wish we could be bathing this weekend.
We dig the Rob Ryan-style 'silhouette'-framed mirror. The shelves (easy to copy, these), with birdcage and fluffy towel stack. The vintage caned chair, given a white coat of paint. And the classical beauty, framed above the fireplace. (In winter, we fantasise about lighting a crackling fire in the grate, to towel-dry in front of. Following all the usual Health & Safety guidelines, naturellement.)
The pink walls, meanwhile, are clever: did you know you'll always look prettier in a pink room - not just a bathroom - because it gives a flattering glow to the complexion...?
What all our favourite Friday bathrooms - of which this is the latest in a l-o-n-g sequence - seem to have in common, meanwhile, is a fabulous old tub. If you've been inspired by our watery weekend musings to revamp your bathroom, we point you in the direction of Salvo, the on-line resource for architectural salvage, who always have a fantastic list (available from various reclamation yards around the country). We found examples from just £140.
Just add cost of delivery. Pipework/taps (we can't recommend Lefroy Brooks too highly - also beloved of hotelier Olga Polizzi).
And, of course, the sweet-talking of a friendly plumber...
