bathroom week

We've had a lot of activity in our bathroom recently, so I thought I'd let the blog reflect that and spend an entire week on one theme: bathrooms.

What kind of "activity" are we talking about, you may be wondering? Don't worry -- no one here has had a stomach bug or anything of that sort. :)

The first flurry of activity was the frequent use of our new soaking tub by a dear friend of ours in the final weeks of her pregnancy. The experience of weightlessness was a real relief to her during a time when her almost 10-lb. baby(!) was nearing his full size. And the midwife had also recommended  bathing as a way to reduce swelling in her hands and feet. It was such a pleasure to us to be able to share our new bathroom to provide much needed comfort to someone we care so much about.

The second flurry of activity was last week, when our contractor returned to repair an issue with the tile on the front of our tub and to deal with a few other punchlist items in the bathroom (and elsewhere throughout the house).

In recent weeks, I also spent some time with two other dear friends who are getting ready to renovate their bathroom. We made a field trip to The Tile Shop and picked out some beautiful travertine tile for their shower and floor.

So it's no wonder I have bathrooms on the brain!

Join me this week, then, as I feature our own new bathroom, my Tile Shop outing, and conversations about bathroom essentials, art in the bathroom, etc. It's all bathrooms all week here at the NestingBlog!
