The main bath......

The main bath here at Sweetside is pretty much done (is any renovation really done???). It was in process for a couple of years. We started the work on the first day we owned the house, ripping out the old shag carpet (yes, shag!), first thing. Ewwww....


. We pulled out the huge old tub and gigantic old vanity and well....everything right down to the plaster walls. ) It now has a great old clawfoot tub, installed here on the diagonal. It was salvaged from a Boston brownstone that was being "renovated." Gotta love Craig's List. It's now painted metalic blue. Most of the room is calming browns and tans so the tub provides the "spark." The soap holder next to the tub is an old dragon smoke stand. It holds a tea light candle set in sea glass, in additon to the bar of soap.

Many of the accessories in the room are from my favorite little used furniture and novelties shop in town, the Trading Post.
