there are bathtubs for every space, client and budget.  the cast iron push-in or alcove tubs from kohler and american standard are good quality and reasonably priced– perfect for the space which will have a lovely shower curtain.   then there are the drop in and undermount tub styles which require stone or tile finishes at the apron and deck offering a more refined, luxurious design.  last, we have the freestanding bathtubs – exquisite sculptural objects.  unlike the other types, which are easily transformed by the materials around them, these bathtubs become the centerpiece of the space.  from a girl who loves a good soak, here are some of my favorite tubs :

wednesday

WTFW .  this afternoon, cw forwarded me the link to Clark Sorensen’s urinals and we laughed our a**es off.   i think this for real.   who buys this?  

flora, very georgia o’keeffe

did i dare post Marcel Duchamp’s urinal next to this sculptural craftiness?  oh yes, i did.  so sorry for the juxtaposition, Duchamp is rolling over in his grave right now.  

tuesday

small spaces, small sinks.   think, powder room.   in san francisco, i’ve come across a lot of victorian flats with the split baths – vanity and tub in one room, toilet in the other.  some of the options below may work perfectly to convert the wash closet to a powder room turning your single bath to a 1 1/2 bath home. 

hand rinse basins : duravit architec # 076635 . duravit vero # 070225

asymmetrical basins : agape flat 80 . duravit architec #076465

stone basins : agape carrara CER730S . waterworks .25 corian PTLV25
