Jubliant Way Home, 2004

This tub deck is slightly elevated from the floor to enhance the view out the window. The tile is a mixture of two different shades of travertine, the diamonds and borders were custom cut from full 18" x 18" tiles for the arrangement. The bathtub was reclaimed from a 1920's home that was being refitted with newer bath fixtures. The tub was languishing in the back lot of a plumbing shop, the homeowner inquired about it, they told him "it's yours for nothing if you haul it out of here." It has a slight blemish in the upper right corner otherwise the porcelain was perfect, this was going to be thrown in the trash. Just another testament to what can be found and recycled with a little digging.
