In a previous post (4 bedrooms or 3 bedrooms?), we mentioned our struggle to find space for a bathroom and laundry room on the Master Bedroom floor. We were inspired to find an elegant solution by the picture of the original Victorian bathroom we found.
On a recent visit, the Lady of the Manor had an epiphany: why not turn the other bedroom on the 2nd floor into a Master Bathroom Suite?? I, of course, thought it was silly and impractical (which is why I hammer things and she runs the show).
So, we started working on a layout with our architects. After a few passes, we came to what we think is an awesome bathroom renovation, with a fireplace next to the tub. Wahoo. For perspective, this is the back bedroom on the second floor. It's roughly 288 sq ft... Certainly, a worthy bathroom for our classic brownstone!
In keeping with our Green Building principles, we will be re-using one of the claw foot tubs from another bathroom in the house.

I can't think of anything more relaxing or beautiful than a fireplace next to a bathtub. I don't think I would leave the bathroom ever. Great idea!
