Bathtubs You Can Paint!

I was doing some online daydreaming which is actually part of my job these days as an Ideabook contributor for the hugely inspiring Houzz.com (see the widget in the sidebar), and I found these gorgeous cast iron slipper baths which can be painted! I love anything customisable and my imagination began to run wild. Blush pink? Dusty blue? The exterior comes with a grey primer finish so you can do whatever you like. Pastel stripes? That's the challenge of customisation, I become hopelessly indecisive. You can also take the standard Black Imperial cast iron feet or upgrade to chrome, white or antique gold. Oh boy.

Above is the Imperial Ritz style which comes in two sizes, and below is the Imperial Waldorf and Imperial Bentley showing other tap configurations and colour possibilities. And then there are other paintable styles that have modern feet or bases and that's where my mind begins to become overwhelmed!

What do you think of the hardwood floor? Laminate flooring would make the most sense if you want that look in the bathroom. A friend has rustic planks in hers which is a huge space and with it being all wood it has a completely different feel, as if it's another room in the house that happens to have a bath, shower and toilet. I mean you can dance around in there and not run into anything! (Yes, I can attest to that.) I lalso love glass tile and hope to one day have a huge bathroom that is covered in pool blue tiles, looking straight out of a David Hockney painting.

This Baths are Really Great and your imagination idea of mix and match with lino floor is just too amazing. Even i am inspired to have these type of baths in my bathroom. :)

Those bathtubs are unusual. They have a vintage feel to them. And the wooden flooring adds a touch of uniqueness to the whole bathroom. I wish you had more photos that show the other areas of that bathroom.
