Most of the time, we are hard-pressed to find a reasonably-priced yet classy rug for our living room. Perhaps that's why the idea of using such beautiful rugs in the bathroom seems like the epitome of decadence.

The feature on Kathryn Ireland's home in Domino this month reminded us of the bathroom we had seen earlier on Trendir, in a post about the wooden tub. But the rug really makes it.

We like the look, but again, we're still working on saving up for a decent rug for the largest room in our place. A rug like this in the bathroom would be a serious indulgence.

What a shame that whoever has that great wooden tub chopped up that beautiful rug to go underneath.

The epitome of decadence is a 15K teak tub. It's from Boxart...if you follow the links.

I love the look, but also wonder why anyone's decision to chop up a beautiful rug is my (or anyone else's) business. Kathryn Ireland is a designer, and she opens up her homes to us to give ideas and to let potential clients know what she might do. Woody Allen took at least one kilim rug years ago (from a book edited by Paige Rense that my mother had) and turned it into a frame for a mirror. I did the same thing 15 years ago, with a rug that wasn't museum quality but had seen better days, and couldn't have been happier. If you like the look, go for it--but a rug is ultimately a fabric. It's not like ripping up a Rembrandt.

OH I LOVE that wooden tub. I'd soak in that till it got soggy.

You could make a really big salad in that tub.
It's either that or get oars and start rowing.
