Dreaming Of A Long Hot Bath

amomentwithfranca · 15 May 2017 · 15 Comments

I don’t know when was the last time that I had a proper nice long hot bath with some peace and quiet! Since becoming a mother, I literally have no time for this sort of thing. I use to have a bath at least once a week before Bella was born. After she was born, I might have done it a few times but since having Sienna it’s just not an option for me anymore!

It is just sad because it was something that I enjoyed doing a lot! I love a bath with bubbles, some oils, hot water and lay there with my eyes closed for a while! I feel that I can transport myself to a magical place! A dream place, like if I’m having a nice soak on an exotic island! This is definitely heaven!

This “me time” doesn’t happen at all. I wish my girls drifted off completely until the next day. Well, Bella does but she doesn’t go to bed as early as we’d like and when she does go, it doesn’t seem to be long before I have Sienna waking up looking for me. It’s a nightmare. I’m sure it is a phase for Sienna and it will pass soon as she is still little. Until that moment comes, I can only dream about having the perfect bathroom that would allow me to get the best “me time” bath!

My dream bathroom would be one with a window where I could see the sky. If I could see the moon while I was having a soak in the bath it would be especially amazing! However, I don’t like to have a window without a blind so having the option to completely switch off using blinds to make the whole atmosphere even more magical is a must.

There are so many different ranges of blinds to choose if you search online. The most important would be to find something that is practical and of course easy to fit. I found some great ones at VELUX. If you are after a great selection of roof blinds for your bathroom or even for your bedroom or living room, you should check their range. You will be surprised with the products they have on offer.

So that would be my ideal bathroom where I would be able to have the best bath moments that I’m simply lacking at the moment! Fingers crossed one day I will get a bathroom like this!

What would be your dream bathroom? Do you like having a bath? Do you like windows in your bathroom? Are you looking for new blinds?

Love you all ❤️

    I have a bath every night but it’s rarely one with bath salts, candles etc I’m not very good at spending time in the bath ….just in , scrub & out. I take less time than my sons.

    I love a bath, but usually shower as it uses less water x having a velux window is a dream though, i would lie there all day 😉

    I love a long relaxing bath – when I get the chance! I once stayed in a hotel where the bathroom (with a sunken bath!) had a huge vaulted window above it. Lying in the bath watching the stars was absolutely amazing – so that would actually be my ideal bathroom. I do always want a window in my bathroom – it just doesn’t seem right without one.

    baths are defintely one thing I couldn’t lve without, I think a skylight (or roof window) would be an amazing way to enjoy seeing outside without the worry of people seeing in (well unless a plane flew past very low of course)

    I like having a bath and a shower. I do not like windows because there does not seem to be any obscured glass that actually obscures without a blind or curtain of some kind.
