All Clean

The most luxurious soak

Darryl and I took our first baths in the new tub this morning. Separately, people. Get your head out of the gutter! Now I'm not usually a bath person. In fact, if you remember an earlier post I mentioned how little I cared about this tub, besides the fact that it put the entire project back by several weeks. So this morning, when Darryl emerged from the bathroom and was positively crowing about his bathing experience, I was a little skeptical. I mean,  how much difference could a tub make really.

I'm not embarrassed to say that he was right and I was wrong. It really was a life-altering experience - or at least a Saturday-morning-altering experience. It was soooooo relaxing, almost as if I were on vacation at a spa. I took a magazine in with me, but I didn't even read. I just closed my eyes and sunk under the water. I could have stayed in there for hours, and when I finally got out and dried off, I felt totally invigorated and ready for the day. Which was just as well, because I spent the next six hours cleaning the new windows, dusting and filling the bookcase and transporting clothes from closet to closet.

It's pretty cool how the tub and tile reflect in the mirror

While the rooms are still a little sparse, I can confidently say that things look wonderful. We can't move furniture in until we have cleared final inspection - we are not allowed to show signs of occupancy. But we are ready to make the rooms our own. Watch this space!
