THESE SHOES WERE MADE FOR…….BATHING?

Posted on April 17, 2011 by shaynna

Now this has to be a Carrie Bradshaw must have! Designer bath tub in the shape of a shoe? It is not to everybody’s taste but there must be a market out there for ladies who have a whole room (or wing of a house) dedicated to shoes.
These Audrey and Audreyette baths have been created by SIGIS who are known for their incredible mosaic designs and strong colours. The bath is created in a mold and then the tile designs are put on by hand. I cant even imagine how much it costs and as I am asking, I obviously cant afford it!

What I do love is the waterfall spout that will tumble water down on to your luscious locks making you feel like an expensive, pampered goddess.

I still think they should have called them Carrie and Carriette!

Would you buy something like this if you could afford it?

Guesthouse that gets it right

Brooks Guesthouse
When you book accomodation online you can sometimes be playing a game of chance but on this occasion it came up a winner! Brooks guesthouse in Bath ticked all the boxes with attentive hospitality, a tasty and filling breakfast but my big tick was the interiors. I love to mix period and modern details when I design, and the interiors of the guest house carry if off with ease. The guesthouse is sympathetic to the original Victorian features and as you make your way around the charm is slowly revealed and produces pure delight.

Sit in the guest lounge by the fire

Our room was relaxing in an old fashioned way and finished with lush silk curtains

The ensuite was small but was fitted with good quality modern fittings and a hot shower was welcomed at the end of the day with the temperature hitting a high of four degrees

The ‘comforting’ cooked breakfast was served on the lower floor. Original parquetry and bluestone floor and complimented with simple modern and aged furniture and cleverly decorated with teapots.

A diversion to the powder room revealed a sense of whimsy.

The corridors to the rooms displayed varied lighting and pictures

Incredile Bath and its Spas – Day one

Posted on December 13, 2009 by shaynna

Entry to Thermal Spa – 1hr massage and 2 hours in the spa and steam room and your day is set!Bath, England was created by the Romans as a place of relaxation and to honour the gods with rituals. After spending two days there I am in love with the place! A morning in the modern Thermal Day spa, followed by boutique shopping surrounded by elegant Christmas lighting, wandering the streets and finally settling for lunch with a bottle of wine was a great way to spend day one
