Video Transcript
We are in the new guest suite that was created in this house, and this is the clawfoot tub that was originally in her, kind of, dressing area as part of her bathroom. So we moved it to this new location. And you’ll notice that the faucet is actually on the room side in this particular bathroom. We are standing in a bay window that does not have floor beneath it, so we had to keep the plumbing on the warm side of the house.
We did his-and-hers vanities for guests. So, they’re a beautiful marble, which is in keeping with the marble that was in the house already, and we did a scalloped detail with a little ledge so if you’re traveling you have kind of a place to set your belongings. There are also nice drawers that go around the plumbing and have tons of storage. This is a wonderful suite for kids with their own families to come back to, or, you know, anyone who visits.
