I fell in love with my new apartment's claw foot, but after realising that the cast metal acts like a heat sink = the elusive dream that was never really a hot bath by the time you got in...and also struggling to clean the dirt from underneath, I had it removed. :-( Cute, but does not work.

Haha! Had EXACTLY the same in my apartment, I just ripped out everything and had a whole new bathroom installed. Still living with the white painted tile in the kitchen though. BTW, the bathroom tile was not vintage, they were standard cheapo porcelain, before anyone gets upset! :-)

I love each and every single one!

I loved claw foot baths - until I got one. How do you clean under/behind, also, they tend to get cold veeery quickly. :-(

Try it hotel style. AT, here is a range of hotels in South Africa for you to do a feature on...

Beautiful place. Pallet <> Pallette, though. :-(

Ahh, I am not a crazy person! My neighbour insists on waking up in the wee early hours, and wake us up by banging cupboard doors so hard, my boyfriend jumped up convinced that someone was trying to break into my apartment.

Remember - don't just think where the mirror will hang, but also think of what you will see in the mirror once it hangs - mirror in the bedroom? Don't hang it where people in the hallway can see private spaces or laundry. I hung a mirror in my lounge to reflect trees through a window opposite it. that way you have the sense of lush greenery surrounding you from both sides, and it amplifies the light in the room, appearing to be a second window. You can also either hang a mirror eye height, so that people can see themselves in it, or you can hang it just higher than is comfortable for looking at yourself, so that you see ceiling. That way it is not distracting, but still enlarges the room.

The US never HAD a monarchy, so you can't really return to it, can you?

I am actually Afrikaans. Lol!
