See the window on the far left side of this photo, first floor? That's our downstairs bathroom! |
Of course first thing this morning, I tracked down some inspirational images of vaulted ceiling-ed bathrooms-- and I love it. (Plus-- all of these examples prove that there isn't some secret contractor-y reason this isn't done...)
The first image is so similar to what I've got in mind for our bathroom-- it's a little preposterous-- though I'd give the golden-shower-head-from-above the skip, and most likely install our shower head on the wall that's hidden by the shower curtain in that photo. But in concept-- subway tile-- vaulted ceiling-- white tile floor-- this guy and I are clearly on the same page. It's also making me warm to the idea of shower curtain over glass door for a standing shower... M...a...y...b...e...
: )
I think I just heard John groan at that prospect. Especially when I mentioned a clawfoot tub. Have you ever carried one of those babies up a flight of stairs??? How about two?
Another thought I had that has me pretty excited is that theoretically we could even install another window in the bathroom if we wanted to... Once I started thinking about it "down to the studs" I realized the sky is kind of the limit! One idea was to install a sky light in the shower, because I'm pretty sure that'd be awesome-- but the downside is that the roof of the porch is really the first thing you see when you approach the house, so chopping a skylight into might not look so hot...
Hmmm.... Lots to think about...
wonder if the bathroom was carved out of the porch... it would be nice to have the porch go all across the front...
ReplyDeleteOh definitely! I think they dropped that truck-stop style fiberglass shower on the porch, put up three more walls and called it a day!
DeleteWe fantasized about returning the porch to its former glory, but we're about 20 years from building a bathroom somewhere else on the first floor, so that plan has been put on the back burner for now...
