Disney Castle Bathroom

Did you ever wonder what the inside of Cinderella's castle looks like? I came across some photos from about.com depicting the Cinderella's Castle Suite. The pictures that caught my attention were those of the luxurious bathroom. I learned that you can actually spend the night in this magical suite.

Below is a view of the entire bathroom,


the jacuzzi bathtub complete with stained glass tiles and a waterfall faucet,


the copper sink with wall mounted, single handle sink faucet,


and an over-sized shower head and a convenient hand shower.


Not pictured above is the royal toilet, which i can only imagine looks something like this toilet throne fit for a king (or queen).

Customized Showering

If you've never seen it before, this is the Kohler WaterHaven custom shower. Equipped with seven different sprayers, you can customize your showering experience by adjusting the various knobs and ports. This shower is not only a great way to get clean, but you can adjust the direction and intensity of the sprayers for a massaging effect, or keep your hair dry while cleaning only the rest of your body. Additionally, the WaterHaven includes a handshower.


Another great thing about this deluxe shower is that it only requires one single connection. The WaterHaven can be hooked up through the wall or floor. For this reason, the shower can be flexibly located to your location of choice.Everything about this shower is customizable. You can even manipulate the water flow, using as much or as little water as you choose.Learn more about the WaterHaven custom shower or view more photos and and instructional video by Kohler.

Travel and Bathe in Luxury

I recently came across the ultimate coffee table book for railroad enthusiasts. Each page of Luxury Trains by John Smith is filled with lavish photographs of the most luxurious trains in the world.
One particular steam train caught my eye; not because of the extravagant, Victorian style dining rooms or the spacious rooms with lounge areas. I found Rovos Rail of South Africa the most intriguing because it offers a full sized bathroom in its 172 square foot Royal Suite.

As far as Vintage Tub and Bath is concerned, this train has set a new standard in luxury travel by furnishing their Royal Suite bathroom with a clawfoot tub.


As you can see from the photo above, in case bathing on a train isn't your thing, there is also a full sized shower available. These Royal Suites must be roomy if they are able to accommodate a 60 inch clawfoot bathtub. For more photos and information about Rovos Rail of South Africa, visit their website here.

New Affordable Luxury Shower from American Bath Factory

For decades, travertine stone has been used to create some of the most luxurious bathrooms. Many have adorned showers, floors, and countertops with travertine for its warm, lavish appeal. Chances are many more would have done the same had not cost or labor been prohibitive.

Enter American Bath Factory's Sistine Stone Shower System™.

For years, American Bath Factory has provided a line of products known as Sistine Stone™ - a resin-based stone that offers the look and feel of travertine for countertops, vanities, and backsplashes without the lofty price. An now, they've extended this line to include their latest innovation - the Sistine Stone Shower System. Never before has it been possible to enjoy the luxurious look and feel of a travertine shower at such an affordable price.

The Sistine Stone Shower Systems in essence is a manufactured shower kit that can be easily adapted to virtually any bathroom. It's available in a variety of sizes and formats such as left or right threshold, single threshold, or neo-angle threshold. It includes prefabricated shower walls, 3/8" glass door, 1-piece shower pan, and designer faucet with a hand shower. Optional accessories include a bench, recessed shampoo shelf, and body sprays.

Even better, its intelligent design makes it possible for the average DIY'er to install it in a comparatively short amount of time. Moderately experienced renovators can install it in less than one day. Try doing that with real travertine stone tiles.

Attractive as their look is their cost. With prices starting below $2000, you will find these showers to be a fraction of the price of traditional travertine showers and equally enjoyable.
