Soaking It All In

I LOVE a good bath.  I love being immersed in hot water with the perfect seasonal bubble bath, sipping a beverage and of course reading a good book.  Unfortunately I have been spoiled rotten at my old house and the bathtub at our new house is just not up to my exacting standards.   Lucky for me, we own this house and can upgrade!  Here are some epic tubs that I am looking at to enhance my soaking experience
Claw Foot Tub
I have a thing for these old fashioned claw foot bathtubs.  In fact on our Great Redwood Trip, one of the awesome parts was soaking in a tub like this.

Kyoto Ofuro Soaking Tub
Seriously though, there is nothing not to love about this tub!
Dark Patina Tub
This totally looks like something straight out of a book...I want it
Copper Bath
I love the borderline medieval feel of this tub...now I just need some fine strapping lads to fill it for me...

Steampunk Tub
Seriously we are probably gonna do the bathroom in a steampunk theme...so this is pretty much perfect.

Obviously the options for tubs are pretty much limited only by our imagination and budget.  I seriously can't wait until I have a tub that fits my soaking/reading needs.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Making Bathtubs Reading Friendly

After an insane week/weekend and another crazy crazy week ahead all I want to do is slip into a nice hot bath and read.  Unfortunatly I have a bit of a clumsy side and tend to drop my wine and books into the water on occasion.  Here are a couple nifty inventions to help with my problem.
Bamboo Bathtub Caddy
This one is so awesome it even has a none spill spot for my wine!
Wire Bathtub Caddy
This one has lots of little nooks and crannies
Ebonized Tub Caddy
I really like the simple elegance of this one
I am sure my books would appreciate any one of these to keep them out of the water.  So if anybody needs a gift idea for their favorite bookworm...:-)  Until then I will go balance my book on one knee and wine glass on the other and hope for the best.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Loo Literature

In honor of the Olympics being held in London, I have decided to dedicate this post to reading material remarkably suited for the loo.  Now depending on how fast a reader you are, what your business in the loo is and what your interests are, there are several books that fit your various pot-reading needs.
Uncle John's Bathroom Reader
This is the best all purpose bathroom book, it has a wide variety of topics to entertain any reader and most of the stories/articles/tidbits are only about a page long, so even slower readers can get the satisfaction of finishing before people start questioning the length of time spent on the pot.
Duh! The Stupid History of the Human Race
This book has some great examples of people who are really really really stupid in nice quick paragraph form. As an added bonus you will feel very smart and superior for being able to finish your "business" without any major catastrophe's.
Would It Kill You to Stop Doing That?
If you just can't stand to have a cartoony book sitting in your elegant bathroom, a simple etiquette book with a classy cover should take care of that, plus it might inspire your guests/husband/teenage daughter to become a tad more polite.
Cake Wrecks
This is a hilarious flip through picture book, with a great quick narrative, be warned you may hear unlady/gentalmanly like laughter emanating from behind the closed bathroom door, also I've had more then one person sneak this one out to finish in their room.
Bookshelf in the Loo
Of course on could also just install a bookshelf in said loo and solve any and all reading problems in one fell swoop!

What is your favorite thing to read on the pot?  Have you ever lost track of time because of a good book while doing your "business?  Have you ever used the toilet as an excuse to finish up book?

Books In The Shower

How cool is this?
Tiled Book 
A very clever way to have a "library" in your shower without ruining any books!
