Heaven in 65 square feet
Finally! The Bathroom is all done: towel bars are up, the heated floor is on, the toilet paper has a holder, everything's working.
The industrial door handles were meant to be bolted together through glass, so Ed came up with this quirky offset solution for a wooden pocket door, and I love it.
Magnetic soap holder!
You press a little metal button into your soap and hang it from a magnet. The soap lasts forever. Got these at Doug Mockett & Company. Inexpensive, easy to install, and really just plain cool.
And, to your right, the Bathtub of Resuscitation.
complete with candles that I put there just for this picture. The pebble floor is now warmed by hot water that runs in little tubes underneath.
Monsoon loves it.
When I come home from work he wanders out with hot fur.
And speaking of the 'Soonster, he's also fond of the new sink.
Which totally does not drip in any way--I just turn it on for him to play with.
It is a source of endless fascination to him...
...when he's not busy lounging on the heated floor.
Some fixture and fitting details:
Glass shelves! Robe hooks! Acoutrements! The little bucket? An inverted Kleenex cover. The fancy bottles disguise shampoo and stuff.
The robe hooks can't be in the usual place, see, because the door slides into the wall.
My night light says "Tranquility" in Chinese, or so they tell me.
I think I recognize that first character from the Serenity logo.
Every morning I get to take a shower in hot water pouring out of here:
...then grab a towel from the rack heated by the same hot water loop that runs under the floor:
(That control on the wall is for the steam shower, which will be Phase II of the project, coming up this month.)
And so life is fine.
This way, please...
