Absolutely love your videos. I too rise early. Love gardening, baking and home decor. I would love to get your magazines. I'm a 61 year old woman that enjoys a great glass of wine and doing what I love. I'm a southern girl and we are kindred spirits.
Nothing like a long tub soak at the end of a cold or stressful day. Turn off the news, turn on some music, light a candle & sink into a tub filled with fragrant bubbles. Heavenly.
Oh my gosh Linda, I had just taken a break from cleaning my bathroom (letting a cleaner soak) and watched your video. The timing was impeccable. When we purchased this house it had a glass shower door, something I was not excited about due to the cleaning of it. I quickly mixed up your cleaner and it worked!!!! Now, if you could find a way for us over 50 ladies to lose those unwanted pounds, you would be my forever hero! Lol. Have a beautiful weekend Linda!
We put in a new shower with glass doors 19 months ago and have never had to clean it with anything harsh. We use an e-cloth to wipe the doors after every shower, and a chamois on the tile. We have very hard water too. Beautiful bathroom, love the alcove.
This is just what I was looking for. Your design sense and your tips were on point!! Your homemade bath salts are something I will be trying. Thank You!!
Gorgeous bathroom. I love that alcove tub! I also love making bath salts. Bath bombs are my favorite! I’m so pleased you get to enjoy Rhode Island so much.
What a wonderful bathroom. Love the soaking tub. I also prefer a long relaxing bath. Gil Schafer is one of my favorite architect. I also have two of his books and love browsing through them all the time . His style is timeless in my opinion. Thanks for sharing the glass cleaner recipe and how you make your bath salts .
Love everything you did!! All the perfect touches to make your bath so luxurious!! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas!! Hope your having a great weekend!!❤️
I redid my bathrooms last year, both are my oasis. Finally after years love my master bath. My guest bath has a very similar floor. So classic and timeless! Wow, I buy shower door cleaner, going to try the vinegar mix. Now I am looking for silver plate to store bath salts, bath bombs
I love watching and your beautiful home. I have had colonial furniture and decor for over 50 years. To me it is timeless but it is very difficult to find colonial decor in today’s world. I would love to go to thrift stores but with my age and Covid-19 it’s not possible so I am so thankful for your videos. I feel like I am visiting a friend in her lovely home. Thank you 😊
I loved this! I wish I would have had better ideas when we remodeled our bathroom four years ago...but, I'll make the best of it and use some of your wonderful ideas!
Everything looks amazing Linda. I love the shade of blue in your bathroom....very soothing. Thank you for the recipe for the bath salts. I didn’t Know about Epsom salts but I did know they contain magnesium..great for aches and pains. I would love to have that soaking tub..you created a really nice place for calm and serenity 🥰
Linda you are indeed INCREDIBLY.... (Project Mtg too for the bathroom?!), absolutely AMAZINGLY bathroom!!! Love the Wall Scone Lamps, the Paint Color and even the Rabbit Frame Picture and the Silver Sugar Dish...(can't take my eyes off!) I periodically go back and visit your old video's for a 2nd time, and wondering if you miss this bath now at Sugarwood?!
Your master bath turned out beautifully! My husband and I purchased a uptown condo five years ago after living in our large country home we built twentynine years ago. Our condo is beautiful modern/scandinavian,very different from our house. When choosing the design elements for the condo,we decided on a walk-in shower with no door's,it's very interesting 😳 Basically you walk around a tiled wall into the very large shower, you could have a party in there. Without door's, even with the heated floors, it's pretty chilly. We have a gas fireplace in the master bedroom,so l turn the fireplace on before showering and it helps to warm me up but l do miss the glass shower at our old house 🙂🍁
It’s soooo gorgeous. That mirror...and those sconces, and all the silver! It’s hard to take out a fireplace, but after moving into a Paris apartment with four of them, I realized just how hard they can be to work around. Haven’t removed any yet, but totally get why you did. The result is stunning. I may take out the one our small kitchen one of these days.
Luckily the chimney was to two burners in the basement and not a fireplaces. I think I would have us sleep in twin beds if that wasn't the case LOL. What we did have to do was replace the old burners with a new wall hung system, but it was worth it and so much more efficient. It allows us the ability to open up the kitchen too!
I have a squeege in the shower and everyone has to use it after their shower. That works great and only take a few seconds. I use the vinaiger and down trick also. Great ideas ! I will transform my bathroom into a spa by using some of your ideas. Great way to pamper yourself during the confinement period we have to live throw.
Hahaha! I make everyone use the Squeegee in my showers too! My family says I’m obsessed about it. 😳 I tell them if they had to clean the glass spots all of the time they would understand. And, what the vinegar and down trick?? I need in on this.
What a lovely spa/bathroom! I am so impressed with your abilities. I love hearing the “deals” you found while purchasing and planning the room! I found a pedestal sink once for $20.00 and every time I walked into the bathroom, I had immense pleasure over that sink. Haha! I have a book by Gil Schafer too-A Place To Call Home. See, I knew we were kindred spirits! I love that book. I also love the glass cleaning hint that you gave us. I am going to try it out today. I have labored so much over my shower to no avail. Hard water and soap scum are no joke! I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you.
WOW I can't believe it... I'm redoing my condo and today I started the guest bathroom. It will be Victorian (would love to do a soaking tub),Im not able to get in and out (getting up in age 😉) xoxo really enjoyed your channel.
Love your master bath home spa! I only have a shower in mine... can you recommend some of those bath bombs for the shower? I'd love some with a citrus scent to help wake me up in the mornings! Love the faucet fixtures too. The shower glass cleaner recipe is a great one - I have used it!
I use that vinegar and Dawn dish soap mixture to clean almost everything and it is fantastic. It has an overpowering odor so I put it in an empty repurposed squeeze bottle instead of a spray bottle so it doesn't aerosolize. I also take baths in Epsom salts or magnesium flakes when my arthritis is flaring or my muscles are sore. It really does help.
I do hope you have planned the tub such that the plumbing is accessible should a problem arise. Our installer did not think into the future and now that a pipe leakage problem appeared, some plumbers would not tackle the repair.
Linda could you please and make sure you put a photo of the bathroom on Pinterest? I follow you and am planning on a redo of my master bath. Love the look you created! Thank you ❤️
Wi loved the video, also the colour of the bathroom. Is the magazine New England Fine Living available for Canadians by subscription , I get Southern Living this way. Thank you in advance.
Cindy, The paint color Linda used, looks very similar to my Dining Room, Sherwin Williams "Magnetic Gray" (Blue Gray) SW 7058. I have the "Silver Strand" SW7057 in our Great Room and it's just a tone lighter. An Interior Designer had used these colors in 3 Display Homes near our home in NC. I adored the Displays Homes, and copied the paints, dark wood floor, similar drape color / pattern and similar upholstered furniture and obtained my own new Display Home! I love the paint colors and it's been 8 yrs and the paint colors are still trending in design yet today. We will be moving soon, and I am going to use the SAME colors in our new home. I don't think, I will ever live in a house with different colors other then these in my main rooms. I also used "Original White" SW 7077 ( just a hint of grashing lavender/pink), in the Hallway. Good Luck!
For natural stone, use isopropyl alcohol in your recipe instead of vinegar. Alcohol won’t etch the stone, dries streak free, and if you allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes, will help to disinfect, as well.
I have the original clawfoot tub in my 1929 house. Everyone and their Aunt Millie thought I should rip it out and "modernize". Oh, heck no! My house is not fancy but I enjoy those soaks just the same. If I had the money the plumbing would get an upgrade but that cozy porcelain tub will stay as long as I'm here. I am the only bath-taker in my family but I make the most of it. 🛀
Hi Linda, just wanted to tell you that the Dawn green apple is not dish soap it's an antibacterial hand soap. I made the same mistake but caught on right away and took it back to the store. I asked them why they put it with the dish soap and nobody knew????
Lovely video, well done! Just to let you know, the salt in the sugar container is not a good idea, unless is solid silver. The salt will find its way and it will start “eating” into the metal very soon. And that sugar container is way too nice to ruin it. Unfortunately I learned this the hard way. ❤️
@@newenglandfineliving what you can do to put in that container is a bath milk, using powder milk, baking soda and starch and of course you can use flavours and scents!
Absolutely love your videos. I too rise early. Love gardening, baking and home decor. I would love to get your magazines. I'm a 61 year old woman that enjoys a great glass of wine and doing what I love. I'm a southern girl and we are kindred spirits.
Nothing like a long tub soak at the end of a cold or stressful day. Turn off the news, turn on some music, light a candle & sink into a tub filled with fragrant bubbles. Heavenly.
I just love the Dawn/Vinegar solution. Wish I knew about it when my children were small. Life would have been so much easier.
You have such lovely taste and finds❤️
What a beautiful bathroom. You did a fabulous job!
Absolutely lovely... I feel totally relaxed just watching and listening to this video. 🌈

Blue is my all time favorite color. It goes with everything. My daughter said ,do you ever get tired of blue accents and I said why would I???
Such a beautiful bathroom. I love the faucets you picked out and your light sconces. tfs
I'm an old nurse of 32 years. I had several heart attacks and open heart surgery. Gave up working. My passion now is home, cooking etc.
Absolutely beautiful
This was just lovely. You've given me ideas.
Inspiration everywhere. Thank you Linda.
What a treat, Linda! Thank you!
Love this video Linda. Beautiful ideas.❤️
This was so beautiful to watch...beautiful ideas. Thanks Linda. 🤗💕
Wonderful! I’m going to transform my bathroom into an oasis! I’ll also be trying that vinegar and dawn soap solution. Thanks Linda!
absolutely lovely!!!!
This video was perfect to listen to as I’m currently priming my new bathroom. Getting me excited when the claw foot tub is placed.
Lovely video...ahhhh
Thank you so much for sharing.
I am in the process of remodeling my bathroom. I love the glass containers to hold my bath salts and toiletries. Thanks for the ideas!
Thank you for the recipe and your bathroom is gorgeous
Just lovely! I’m inspired to paint our vanity and tub surround from black to white. 🙂
This is so beautiful. I just love your home!
Wonderful spa!!!!
Gorgeous bathroom. I love that alcove tub! I also love making bath salts. Bath bombs are my favorite! I’m so pleased you get to enjoy Rhode Island so much.

Thank you! You too!
I love this.....
So very pretty! Thomas Jefferson used alcoves in his bedrooms at Monticello. I love how you used it with the bath tub.
Ha! I wear cheetah ears when I clean. Keeps me motivated especially when I catch a glimpse myself in a mirror😊
Love your channel!!
Hi Linda ! What a beautiful bathroom! So cozy! I just love your home! So many great ideas!! Thanks for sharing and have a great day! Hugs! :)

Please list the blue paint color! I love it!
I need to take time for this!
Bonjour Linda, Love what you did in the bathroom, really nice, chic and elegant !

Fabulous darling!
Very nice
Beautiful what a great inspiration! You can also use RainX from the car section on your glass...it repels the water and does leave spots.
Linda you are indeed INCREDIBLY.... (Project Mtg too for the bathroom?!), absolutely AMAZINGLY bathroom!!!

Just came across this video. I love a soaking tub and use it regularly. I will try the glass cleaner on my shower doors. Thanks.
You are so welcome!
I love the Doterra essential oils too. Magnesium is great for muscles. I purchase a non gmo kosher usa magnesium that can be ingested as well.

Well done on your lovely bathroom. Good tips too. I'm going to run the water and then use the edible oil, then I can drink the bath water later.

What is your soap sitting on in the soap dish?
Do you find Epsom salts leave a residue in the tub?
I have the original clawfoot tub in my 1929 house. Everyone and their Aunt Millie thought I should rip it out and "modernize". Oh, heck no!

Linda, do you remember the name or company of the blue paint on the walls?
What is the color blue you chose and who makes it?
Would you be willing to tell me what the name of your blue paint ?
i on i use bathnly have shower, id like to see your iseas to make my own spa thanks
Enjoy your spa at home Carol!
Hi Linda, just wanted to tell you that the Dawn green apple is not dish soap it's an antibacterial hand soap. I made the same mistake but caught on right away and took it back to the store. I asked them why they put it with the dish soap and nobody knew????
Looks beautiful! Glass cleaning tip is great, but as I’m sure you know vinegar is not a good idea anywhere near marble or other stone tiles.
I don't know. Why?
Try adding your aromatherapy essential bath oils to half a cup of milk. They disperse better in the water. Instead of rimming your waist and the bath.
Well we all want a relaxing soak in our tubs now. I never liked showers but health reasons make tubs unsafe for me. I sure miss bubble baths
Lovely video, well done! Just to let you know, the salt in the sugar container is not a good idea, unless is solid silver. The salt will find its way and it will start “eating” into the metal very soon. And that sugar container is way too nice to ruin it. Unfortunately I learned this the hard way. ❤️
Good to know thank you! I was wondering, but did it any way. Into glass it goes!
@@newenglandfineliving what you can do to put in that container is a bath milk, using powder milk, baking soda and starch and of course you can use flavours and scents!
I've noticed that Americans do not tile their entire bathroom. Why is that?
Do you mean both floors and walls?
@@newenglandfineliving Yes, in Australia and Europe we tile both, unless it is a new build. More often, these are tiled as well.
