…And so it continues - the blog series, At Home with Ashley. This week, Relax with Ashley!

My favorite spot to relax in my home is my bathroom. Okay, I know that sounds weird, but it’s because I have this weird obsession with baths. Paige actually introduce me to this relaxing ritual and it’s been a life changer. She indulges in baths quite often too… and always loves a good long bath when she comes and visits me!

We recently renovated our guest bathroom. I thought the bathtub would be nice for the baby, but it ended up that I’d spend hours in there while I was pregnant. Now, I only get to indulge in a bath every once in a while because I don’t have much extra time with Vivi…

Why do I love baths so much? There is something so soothing about a candlelit room, the sound of the water flowing, and warmth of the water. I like to let the entire room fill up with steam so it feels like I am in a steam room! It’s a time where I can think and reflect and do nothing else but sit there and soak.

So about my bathroom. Staying with the period of the home, we bought the vintage cast iron claw foot tub from a salvage shop called Second Chance in Baltimore (Google it!). I won’t get into it here, but it is one of my favorite places to shop for things from my home. The vanity and medicine cabinet are Restoration Hardware. The floor is Carrera marble basket weave. I designed the space—and all the work, besides the plumbing, was done by my talented hubby for fun!

We hope you’ve found the perfect place in your home to sit back and relax! Where is it?

Lots of Love - from our relaxing place to yours!
