One thing I have always loved ever since I was little is taking a bath.
I love being all alone, relaxing in the warmth and scents of a bubble filled bath.
In fact now that I think about it, the bathroom is probably one of my favorite places.
Which brings me to this post.
Me and Trevor are poor newlyweds.
We have a cheap apartment really close to campus where I go to school and work.
Usually cheap and close to the University is a rare thing, so we know how lucky we are. For this I am truly grateful.
Now that I have said how lucky I know we are to have this apartment, I am going to tell you that I live in a dungeon. We call it the "dungeon" because we live in the basement of a house.
A house that is over 100 years old by the way...
Anyways, the worst part about our bathroom is that it is literally big enough for ONE person to stand in.
When you sit on the toilet, your knees hit it the wall.
One day I was at a friends house and went to the bathroom. I realized I was sitting on the toilet sideways when I didn't need to be. I have actually developed a habit of sitting on the toilet sideways.
lovely.
Now onto the whole point. This bathroom only has a shower.
NO bathtub.
I miss my baths. That wonderful relaxing alone time I would have in the tub.
I wouldn't get out until I was nice and wrinkly all over :) That is when you know you are done.
Me and Trevor love to talk about "when we get out of this apartment..."
The "...." is a bunch of different things we would like to have in our next place.
But for now I want to say that one of my dreams is to have a beautiful claw foot bathtub :)
I think that a claw foot bath tub is the epitome of bath tubs!
Someday, Someday I will light a million candles, fill my claw foot bath tub up with a bunch of bubbles
and disappear....

ahhhh a clawfoot bathtub!! that would be amazing. your post was cute! i completely understand! :)
ReplyDeleteI am DYING for this bathroom right now! See... it's pictures like this that just make me want to stop school right now and just decorate my house! And don't feel like a lame-o about the school thing. That's kinda what we're having to do too! Tys will move out to DC in April and I'll follow in July after I've graduated. SO LAME. But I guess you do what you've gotta do.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, I want a claw foot tub too!
ReplyDeleteahhh i share the same dream!! i've spent 5 years with stall showers being in college, and i cannot wait to NOT have to bump elbows with the wall, shave my legs at an awkward angle, and drop everything on the floor!(TMI? sorry..)
ReplyDeleteYou even loved baths when you were little! Your sitting on the toilet at your friends comment made me laugh. I've sat on your toilet and it is awkward to sit sideways!! :)
ReplyDeleteNah I want a spa bath tub. One where I could lay down or at least recline without my feet/knees out of the water. One with jets would be so divine.
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by my blog! love yours, it's a beautiful blog :) i also L-O-V-E that tub and the mantel above it! helloooo, dreamy bathroom! i, like you, would like to light a million candles and sink right into the bubbles! happy friday!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a chic bathroom. You could really relax in that tub with a good magazine for a few hours!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I know exactly how you feel! Our ghetto house has a cave bathroom. . . it's quite frightening, but I really miss bubble baths!!! You're so cute!
ReplyDeleteWe have a bathtub where we live, but its nothing to write home about. The water only comes up to the middle of my chest if I'm laying down. And with both of my pregnancies it didn't even come close to covering my belly. It would stick out of the water like an island.
ReplyDeleteWe have a same situation..
ReplyDeleteahhhh my dream bathroom there at the end. We also live in an apartment it is rather nice for on campus and it does have a bath tub... but come on... who wants to take a bath in a tub that even if you fill it all the way up your thighs are barely covered?!?! hahaha!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I'm adding it to my sidebar! ;-)
Come take a bath at my house! I'm serious! Ours even has jets!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better than a huge soaking bathtub!
ReplyDeleteClaw foot bath tubs are so cute! I want one too!
ReplyDeleteOH. MY. GOSH.
ReplyDeleteLet me just tell you how much I know how you feel! People always make fun of me because I say that baths are 19874392497 times better than showers....I only have a shower now and I desperately miss baths :(
That bath is b-e-a-utiful! I want it!
"I have actually developed a habit of sitting on the toilet sideways." -- I lol'd.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is really beautiful. I love how there is an old mantle piece framing the tub! Saved this pic to my Home Inspiration folder! xo

ReplyDeleteI love claw-footed bath tubs too. SOOOOOOO elegant!

ReplyDeleteSo.. we have a claw foot tub and I have to stop myself from taking baths too often! I agree with you.. they are the bath tubs to beat ALL others!
ReplyDeleteHellooo! Thanks for checking out my blog and following and such. I pretty much have to say I love yours. It's so cute and makes me kind of happy just to look at it, haha. :D
ReplyDeleteI was never really much of a bath person myself, but I can definitely appreciate a good claw foot bath tub all the same. Once you two get your incredible dream house, you can have the most amazing bathroom and bathtub ever. :)
um yes i love baths as well....and this tub is amazing. i want one as well. isn't college housing the best ...not ;-) one day we'll each have beautiful houses....one day!

ReplyDeletePoor you! My bathroom is a bit like that too, though at least the shower is in another room (ahem, the shower is another room. I find myself avoiding going to the bathroom for hours because I hate that little room. ; ) That claw-footed tub does look really nice!
ReplyDeletethat bath looks heavenly! and the chandy is fab! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that is probably one of the most beautiful bathrooms I've ever seen! Hope things work out for you so that you could have your apartment...and bathtub soon!
ReplyDeleteLovely blog, by the way :)

ReplyDeleteUgh, sorry to hear about your itty-bitty bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI hope the claw foot tub is in your near future. those are gorgeous. throw in a chandelier too... why not...
Chic on the Cheap
What a cute post, a claw foot tub sounds just lovely! It's funny, but when you move all those little annoyances will probably be the things you miss the most when you look back. At least it was like that when I moved. But maybe not :p
ReplyDeleteLove love love that tub! Thanks for stopping by my bloggy. I'm your newest follower!

ReplyDeleteNot sure how I go here I was just hopping around...
beautiful! I hope you get that lovely bathtub soon! I want one too!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with you on the baths! I love a good and bubbly soak. One day your beautiful bathtub dreams will come true.
ReplyDeleteI also share that dream :)
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious about sitting sideways! I usually just feel like every bathroom I'm in is glamorous in comparison to ours! Someday... :)
I just randomly came across you blog and saw your post about taking a bath - hilarious, first of all. secondly, i posted a post (?) last week about taking baths and used that same image! isn't that bathroom the epitome of awesomeness. ohh, love it!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand sitting sideways on the toilet! Our bathroom sounds about as small as yours. The rest of our place is nice and roomy, but the bathroom is SO small!
ReplyDeleteLove that tub!!
uhmm hi! thanks for the sweet comment, it made my day. :) also, bath tubs are the bessst thing ever next to diet coke. love this bathroom!
ReplyDeletehow cute are you! thanks for your sweet comment on my post.. i am so blessed when i do nothing to earn it! thanks for stoppin by, and you're blog is the most adorable thing! makes me want to go to utah!
ReplyDeletethis is so funny because my sister is obsessed with bathrooms and she just wrote about it on her blog and this bathroom is one of the ones she wants!! haha you guys are cute
ReplyDeleteWhen you get your claw foot tub, make sure you get a separate shower. We had a cast iron pedestal tub in our 100+ years old house and taking a shower in it was awful. Unless you enjoy being attacked by shower curtains (I don't)!
ReplyDeleteI adore your claw foot bath tub! One day, maybe one day, I will have one! So lovely!
