A Letter to Yann, Because He is Away and I Need to Prepare for the Surprise…

Copper tub

 

Dear Yann,

 

I kind of bought an enormous hand made very old copper tub. It doesn't seem enormous in this photo… But believe me, you are going to freak out when you see the pool aks tub that I bought for the bathroom we are renovating.

 

You might want to take several deep breaths when you come home. You might want to have a stiff drink. You might want to remember how creative I am and how much you love that about me.

 

Gulp.

 

By the way we need to build stairs to get inside the tub. The lowest point is higher than my belly button.

 

The water consumption is scary. I promise never ever to fill it.

 

I know you are probably blowing out air as I write this.

 

I had to buy it regardless that it barely fits in the bathroom.

It fits… barely. Rizzuto René said I had to buy it, blame him.

 

Besides who needs practicality, who needs a sink, who needs a room mate, cause I might be kicked out of my home when Yann sees this.

 

Your Spontaneous, Beauty over Practical Wife.

  1. Corey, have you weighed the tub, as well as calculated how much the water that would be in it would weigh? I only ask because you’ll need to ascertain that the floor can support it.
    Otherwise you’re liable to wind up writing a blogpost homage to James Thurber, titled “The Night the Tub Fell”!

  2. Just tell him that you’ll both fit in it together nicely. That ought to do the trick 😉

    I like the way you think. That ought to work indeed!

    I’m longing to see a response on here from Yann.

    Is it watertight, what if it has a leak? What is that French swear word you say..zoot alors or something like that? Good luck !

  6. I for one am too old to deal with a tub that comes up to my waist. I would need one of those hospital cranes to get out of it.
    Good luck!

  7. Have you seen a blog by Victoria Elizabeth Barnes. The trials she puts HER husband through and her penchant for Giant Fancy Things should make Yann happy he has you. Good luck!

  8. COREY I LOVE IT!!! and your very loving and understanding husband may utter the “Oh Corey, mais non…” or “Mais non Corey”, but in the end he will trust your vision-that is what partners do-partners in life and work-and most importantly partners in love!

    1) PLEASE YANN, PLEASE RESPOND THROUGH THIS BLOG:)
    2) C, Remember when you did a post in the bathtub? Encore!

  10. lol! Yes I checked that out. I am crazy, but not that crazy!

  11. And then we can sleep in out and sail the world!

  12. It is water tight. The expression “Zut Alors!”

  13. If I sit in it you won’t see me!

  14. Tell him you will get him a flock of rubber duckies for the tub.

  15. Your school math teachers would be so proud of you, Corey! Did you perform the calculations in English (American) or metric measurements? Metric’s actually easier, IMHO 🙂

  16. Is it a cozy place to sleep. You might need to find a place to sleep you know.

    Go easy on her, Yann. Her eye for design will make you wealthier than kings. Besides, how large can the tub be? Her belly button only comes up to your mid-thigh!

  18. Oh how funny! When we bought this house we had a tub just like that, but it was a half bath, so waist height but only about 3 feet long. We had to take it out because the walls and floor all had to be renovated, the problem was the bathroom had been built around the tub!

  19. Rizzuto René was right – now all you need is some donkey’s milk –

  20. Chico Sue

    You know he loves you! He will love this tub!

    Copper is such an intriguing metal. It’s beauty is not just a brillant glimmer but the properties for the use in cuisine, housing and engraving. It will make more than a splash in your lives!

    Ut-Oh!

    Yann – please forgive your wife for her tremendous enthusiasm and applaude her genius!! This tub looks tubulous and I would be happy to have it myself on this side of the world….happy splashing!!

  24. You are a visionary Corey! Never stop guiding us lesser mortals to dream big. I mean… Gigantic! I hope it goes your way.

  25. We are all so jealous. It is beautiful Corey. Lucky you and lucky Yann.

  26. Or, it would make a fabulous focal point in your garden as a wonderful water feature! Do you have a yard somewhere? It is stunning!

  27. Kristin

    Oh you visionary, clever, designing woman. Please share with us all the Yann response.

  28. YOU SOUND LIKE ME!!!!!!!!!XX
    GOOD LUCK!

  29. Teddee Grace

    But you’ll have so much fun in it!

  30. YOU BOUGHT IT! Yay! Can’t wait to hear what Yann swears, er, says.

  31. It is gorgeous and I bet ABSOLUTELY that you could “flip it” for a profit if it doesn’t work out.

  32. Hi, Corey!!
    Best tub ever!!

  33. It is divine! I have one almost exactly like it!!! The most comfortable tub ever!!!
