My client wanted to keep a tub, but I had no room for a standard tub, so we gave him a Japanese style tub which he LOVES.
I get a lot of questions on this bathroom so here are some more details...
Bathroom size: 8x10
Wall color: Sherwin Williams 6252 Ice Cube
Tub: Americh Beverly 40x40x32 both jetted and airbath

Don't Marble Tiles get Stained in Shower? - I love the look of the marble wall in the shower and was planning for remodelling my bathrooms. Then an architect friend told me that natural marble tiles cannot be used on wet walls as they will absorb the water and shampoo etc and will leave stains. What's your experience and advice please? »
Comments from the homeowner - This is a photo of my husband's bath which Bry transformed for us. I can confirm we both love it, and it still looks great & current even though the reno was done in 2004.
To answer a few more questions: The shower enclosure is custom. The door is 28", side panel 18 1/4" and the panel between the shower & tub is 45 1/2". Yes, the same basket weave floor tile extends into the shower. Cabinets are white.
On tub is safety for a spry 87 year old: the tub deck height is 31". I think it depends on whether you have space to build a couple of steps with a grab rail, and can position the tub so that you'd step onto the bench seat. We had room for one step and we set it up with the bench at the back, so my husband can watch the TV Bry installed.
I'd like to add that this space started as a small, uninspired hall bath. Bry stole space from an adjacent bedroom, and not only did the design but she project-managed this for us, bringing in a general contractor for the construction and painting contractors (we renovated another bath, had the whole house painted, and a few other touches). We were very happy with the process as well as the result, and have worked with Bry on subsequent projects. »
BRY design Hi, you can access more views of the bathroom from my website at http://www.brydesign.com click on "befores/afters" 3rd row down "client H" is the one, click and scroll down...HUGE differences from what it was. :)
Soooo your question is an important one, I always tell my clients to sit on the edge and swing legs in to be safe but other than that and a couple of grab bars in strategic places they would be absolutely fine. There is a nice seat inside the tub which makes it super easy to get in and out of as well. I hope this helps.
Sandra Alger, CID, Fresh Ideas by Sandy Love this color, I have used it with all white carrara, and shows similiar, in my computer with the ceilings painted the same hue.. Did you paint the ceilings the same color?
Tub Size - I would like to replace my old jacuzzi with this tub. However, I am unsure how to get the tub through the existing door width. Our door is just a standard door. This tub is 40" square & 32" deep..... How did you get the tub in the bathroom? Thank you for any advice. I really loathe the old jacuzzi and am hoping I can find way to replace it with this tub. »
