After a long, hard day all I want to do is soak in the tub.
I like to stay in a sizzling bath at the end of work to loosen up my muscles.
The idea of a pale white, porcelain or plastic bathtub didn’t appeal to me. They are giant, shaped wrong as well as not pretty. I decided I wanted a wooden bathtub created to match the modern, minimalistic interior concept of our home. There is a pleasant odor to wood as well. Also wood will diffuse sound. I knew it would greatly add to my relaxation plus the aesthetics of the powder room. I called up a custom furniture craftsman to create a layout plan as well as build our ideal tub. While the price tag on making a handcrafted wooden bathtub was significantly more pricey than a conventional option, the natural beauty as well as particularly was worth it. Because wood is easy to work with, the bathtub was able to be set up in any shape that I wanted. I chose on a raft style shape as well as asked for it to be much wider as well as deeper than a usual tub. I wanted to be completely wet as well as able to comfortably lay in there for almost an hour. The custom craftsman legitimately used raft building ideas to create a solid tub that looks great as well as is also durable. He used over one hundred individual pieces of sustainably harvested pine wood, which is a very high-end wood similar to mahogany. There is an invisible fiberglass film put over the top, as well as it is varnished with 6 coats to protect the integrity of the wood.
