Rub-a-dub-dub, we bought a new tub!

Well that was easy! I went out last Friday to do some tile, tub, and toilet sourcing for our bathroom makeover. And just like that, we have a new tub!

Bathtub-AmbrosiaF-2

I wandered around the showroom at Boone Plumbing & Heating Supply, not really looking for anything specific other than a freestanding tub, preferably with air jets. The swoon-worthy tubs from Albert + Victoria and WetStyle caught my eye, but swoon-worthy doesn’t usually come cheap. So I kept looking.

There were rectangular tubs and claw foot tubs and tubs with white insides and grey outsides. And then I saw it. Sitting there unassumingly among the rectangular tubs and claw foot tubs and white & grey tubs… the MAAX Ambrosia F.

There wasn’t any swooning at first. The shape was nice – kind of an oval/egg shape. It was comfortable to sit in. Then the sales person pointed out the price tag – $6,692 on sale for $3,700. For a freestanding tub with air system, chromotherapy lights, drain, and overflow. OK, NOW it’s swoon-worthy!

The first item of many checked off of our bathroom makeover list :-)

  9. Woo hoo, fabulous find and price Kelly. You are not going to believe this but I have my eye on a Maax tub as well as the Hub wants one with some bells and whistles (spoiled kid that he is but ours will just be an alcove design.) LOVE LOVE the style of yours. HAPPY SOAKING. :)

    1. It'll probably be a while before we actually get to use the tub - lots of work to do in the bathroom before we get to the fun stuff!
