apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

My old bathroom, shown in an Apartment Therapy tour, is a pretty good example too. :)

Love this bathroom - want to find a tub like this...where did you get it and was it an arm and a leg?

Vanessa, your bathroom is a prime example. Looks great!

Bathroom fine, camera angle WOW

Kohler Greek Soaking Tub

List price: $1,489.85

uh, yeah, how DID you take that picture??

my thoughts exactly -- was it through a skylight?

Spider-Man must have taken that picture!

Very cool, and very modern. As are all the toilets in the Best Small lists. I have a tiny bath that I am trying to renovate so that it will look period appropriate in my 1928 apartment. Can anyone suggest a tiny, nice vintage-looking toilet for a 10-inch rough?

I'm sorry, this is totally off topic, but I navigated to your bathroom and saw your couch! Where did you get it? Do you think I could make one? What a nice couch!

I cannot wait for the idiotic pedestal sink fad to pass. A bathroom vanity offers so much storage space in what can amount to the same footprint as the pedestal sink.

Yes - its a Kohler Greek and I took the picture through the skylight. The toilet, for anyone who likes the square style is a Kohler Escale.
Thanks for your comments,

Timer Painters Tape = Spiderman! lololol

Definitely DO NOT sacrifice a large bathtub for ANYTHING! These 4 foot bathtubs are a product of Protestant ethics - you get clean, but you don't get to enjoy it.

I have to agree with TravelingRae. Everyone I know with a pedestal sink has ugly boxes and dusty bottles and fusty shower caddies of crap, all out for everyone to see. Fine if you have cabinets; for the rest of us, not so much.

I much prefer the three-drawer plastic box under my sink, which sits right next to the kitty litter, toilet paper, and first aid kit. Not pretty, but neatly away. I'm too anal retentive (sorry, bad pun) to have packaging out when it doesn't fit into my decor.

eaevansmd, we couldn't put it more succintly ourselves. Where space is an issue, a pedestal sink is a harebrained choice.

You forgot to mention accentuate the vertical! In my miniscule bathroom, I hung a 96" white shower curtain. I'll be damned if it doesn't look like the boutique-iest bathroom in all the lands! Or at least in povertyville, where I live.

I disagree about the pedestal sink issue. I have a truly tiny bathroom with a horrible tiny vanity. It is the most useless thing ever. I can barely fit anything inside of it so I end up having to keep all my stuff out in the open anyway. I can't wait to rip it out and replace it with a pedestal sink. At least with a pedestal sink, my bathroom will have the illusion of being at least a tiny bit bigger. Plus, my bathroom is so tiny that the door molding has a notch cut into it so that the vanity top can fit. I think that some people might think they have a small bathroom but probably do not. If you have a truly tiny bathroom, a pedestal sink is a godsend. Also, I end up storing a lot of bathroom items (extra tp, cleaning supplies etc) outside of the bathroom anyway.

the biggest thing that helped us to love our tiny, tiny bathroom was buying a shower curtain in a print that we really love (it looks like a cosby sweater). we had a translucent curtain before, thinking it would make the tiny space feel more open, but it only succeeded in showing off just how small and crappy it is.

now that we have a giant cosby sweater, the bathroom looks fun and whimsical, not depressing and claustrophobic.

We're lucky enough to have shallow, floor-to-ceiling shelves built into an alcove in our tiny bathroom, so our pedestal sink remains uncluttered.

I have a small bathroom and I actually went for a clear plastic shower curtain to open up the space more. You definitely have to keep your shower cleaner, but you get a sense of the room being bigger that way.

We had a pedestal sink in our tiny bathroom that still took up way too much room. We have a toddler who has a training potty and a step stool to reach the sink, plus her little tub that is regularly kept in the tub but sometimes has to come out onto the floor. We finally installed a wall-mounted sink and it opened up the bathroom so much! I would definitely choose the wall-mounted over the pedestal. As for the vanity sink, it would have made the bathroom feel a lot smaller. There are plenty of other storage solutions that don't necessitate a vanity sink in a tiny bathroom, nor clutter out in the open.

For about 3 1/2' or even 4' you would pay - 70€ (100$)?

If it's 5' it would go for about 130€?

And wall mounted sink can be very small, some are so small they become unusable, but small bathrooms are dificult to equipe. Yours is very nice!

We rent and our bathroom is one of the biggest points of contension...i mean linoleum floors, i just threw up a little, but anyway the point is there isn't a cut out, so what are my options other than the bath caddy, which I hate?
