Those are Curly Hazelnut branches. You can get a bundle of them at Wal-mart for about $10. In a Japanese bathroom, (or any that you see without shower curtains or doors), the whole floor has to be covered with waterproof concrete, tile or stone, then waterproofed grout. This must be done by a professional, since the floor has to have drains all along one side and be designed to slope towards the drains. In Japan, it's traditional to get washed sitting on a stool outside the tub, or to take a shower before getting in the bath. That way, the whole family can take turns soaking in the tub without having to change the water, because filling such a huge tub uses a LOT of hot water. Some neighbourhoods still have community baths, where neighbours get together to relax in giant, shared tubs and chat. The tub is not used for getting clean, but just for relaxing. And YES, everybody gets naked to do this, although some community baths have separate times for men and women.

Faucet

- Who makes the faucet? I love it!!!!

themomz
because bathrooms collect so much dirt and mildew along with hair how do you clean the stones. is there a drain in the floor under them so they can be washed and the water runs out? beautiful, but seems like a lot of work.

Love the rocks around the tub, just not sure how to keep them clean.

Nicole Ahern
Even with good venting, won't the rocks get slimmy with mold from the constant moisture?

i was also considering this style for my bathroom and was wondering if water collecting in the rocks would pose a problem?

Ask Your Contractor About MaintenanceWhile general cleaning is great for maintenance of your whole house, there are other items that need a little extra TLC to keep them functioning the way they should. I can suggest a few maintenance items that I’ve encountered, but ultimately the remodelers are the experts on your project. And, if they don’t know exactly how to take care of something, they’re surrounded by experts who can provide some knowledge.

4. Simple and serene. Calm and uncluttered, this blissful Zen-inspired bath zone sets the scene for rest and relaxation. Neutral-toned walls add warmth and an inviting ambience, while the bath, vanity and scattered accessories in crisp white, as well as high-shine chrome fixtures, lift the look. A large window that provides an abundance of natural light sits high on the wall, so you can admire the view as you stand under the relaxing rain shower. A carved wooden plaque, decorative display of branches and bed of loose river pebbles that frames the tub complete the look.See more of this contemporary home

Depending on the landscaping, might look nice to have rocks inside and outside especially if the boulder is visible outside the 2nd bath downstairs.
