Lauren Liess Instagram – The CORRECT 200-something-year-old tub has arrived at the Meadow!! 🛁And it is green!! (Phew!!) I’ve been going back and forth internally on its positioning… I have always planned for it to span left-to-right in front of the back window (1st video/ 2nd slide) but can’t forget how much I loved baths in our old tub which faced straight out out a (side) window so I’ve been wrestling with facing it towards the back window (3rd 4th slides). The glass door to the left side will lead to a walled-in garden with outdoor showers in it and the back window (not in yet) looks out to the back yard. I love the silhouette of the tub when it’s sideways and space-wise it fits the room perfectly but I can’t unsee the thought of those facing those views straight on. Here it is both ways and I’m 99.9% on team facing the views now. It somehow feels more authentic to me, having the tub face the way we will naturally want to look but I’m a little sad to see less of the tub straight on and I don’t love having my back to the room. Something I’ve written a bit about in the past is that there are some spaces where the “enjoyment” arrangement (the one you will be using and enjoying while in the space) isn’t as pretty upon entry or to look at… in these cases I think about pros and cons (enjoyment in the room usually wins unless it’s just way too awkward-feeling.) I’ll be posting a video update of our final decision once it’s made… what would you do?? Are you on Team sideways or Team Views?? 🫧 {Also, if you haven’t seen it, our first Meadow House episode is up on y o u. T ube!
