Inspired by Holly Golightly's unforgettable sofa in Breakfast at Tiffany's, one Côté Maison reader decided to take matters into his own hands and DIY a clawfoot tub sofa for himself.

To see how the tub turned out, Read more
In one of my many dream worlds, I'd live in gorgeous old fixer-upper in the South of France — a French version of Under the Tuscan Sun — with a restored claw-foot tub in my en suite bedroom/bathroom. In that world, I'd also sleep in 'til 11 a.m. on weekdays and wouldn't be rushed in the morning to take showers, or get to work for that matter. So in that world, my life would warrant having a Read more
This weekend, my fun and relaxing Saturday was derailed by the discovery that water was leaking into our basement. The source of the deluge?

I have to admit, I'm a fan of the bathtub flower or vegetable garden — as long as it's done tastefully. I've seen beautifully planted clawfoot tubs that look elegant in the right garden, but I've also seen bathtub planters that look haphazard and tacky. It's all a matter of keeping it pretty, tasteful, and presentable. Source: Flickr User mikecogh Would You Ever Garden in a Bathtub? Read more

This racy photo from Public Enemies has me thinking about how rare a bath is in my cleansing routine. There's really nothing more relaxing than a bath with some candles and light tunes, but a quick shower is usually really all that fits into my schedule. How about you?

I think that floating candles in a bathtub is absolutely romantic, but when it comes down to it, who has the time? I can imagine doing so on a romantic vacation, but it's not my style for a weekly bath at home. Source: Flickr User Monsieur Gordon Do You Float Candles in Your Bathtub? Yes, I love the effect! No, I don't have time for floating candles! Read more
