tub envy

Sigh.  Unfortunately, I don't currently have a bath tub in the little pied–à–terre we are renovating but I am looking around and trying to find a spot for one.   If I could work out the privacy issue, I'd have a bathing room that opened up completely to the garden.  I could soak my cares away amidst the scent of lavender and roses watching the hummingbirds and butterflies make their rounds on a sunny morning or slip into a midnight bath and count the stars.  —Doesn't that sound heavenly?

The wood elements and mix of textures in the rustic bathing room above results in a cozy, enveloping feeling.  To make it ideal, I'm imagining a fireplace on one wall and on the other, a bank of French doors open to a lush garden.  Actually, scratch that.  As long as I'm dreaming... I'm in the bath overlooking rolling hills somewhere in Tuscany.  Let's see...Montepulciano...San Gimignano...Yes.  That's the ticket.   
 Ahhh.  ...Take me away!
