However cleaning a built-in bath, if the edge around the bath, is not wide enough is also a problem, In addition there is all that additional grout around the bath to clean. I like the free standing baths that are rounded on top but square underneath as I think this will help cleaning. Hope so as this is what we are putting in our new holiday accommodation. You can also clean each side by walking around the bath rather than leaning over it. Keeping the bath away from a wall is also necessary to allow cleaning of a free standing bath.

Katherine, I am just curious about the look of the rest of your house? For example, what look is the kitchen and external look of house. I love your bathroom, but not sure if it would match the era of my house. I am beginning to think that in bathrooms, they really only look unique and have an extra "something" when the floors aren't the typical grey, charcoal, beige........not sure what to do yet with mine...

Lisa, it depends on how clever the person is who designs, details and installs the door, and what elements in the photo appeal to you. Judging from the adjacent doors it doesn't look like it is much bigger than a standard size door. If I was engaged to design it I would consider using one of the engineered flooring timbers, such as the ones made by Mafi, as a way to keep things lighter, cheaper and more stable, on a steel frame. http://www.mafi.com.au/domino-larch-vulcano-sanded-natural-oil/ Somebody else may use conventional planks of wood that have been planed then sanded smooth. Both ways are bespoke, so will cost big dollars, and probably not a job that would be covered by your standard carpenter. It would be a matter of working closely with a clever craftsman to get the best value. Do you like the door due to the height of the entry hall, or the character from the mismatched timbers? Is your entry hall as tall as the one in the photo? Is it the other elements in the photo, such as the amount of light flooding in from the sidelight and highlight windows that contribute to how you feel about it? At the end of the day the design and installation is a really important element to the entry of your home, so it is often worthwhile to spend a bit extra to get something special. Best of luck withh your new home, Regards Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

The closest I have found currently is below.....where the arcs and straight line can be laid in any orientation and line up to make a continous, but random pattern. The difference is that the tiles I am searching for are encaustic not porcelain, the back ground is coloured not white and the “lines” are double lines made up of more than one colour. They are definitely not bespoke.
