Third Floor Bathroom

Custom built details make this feel more like a spa than an everyday bathroom

Had we followed our original plan, the third floor bathroom was supposed to be the first bathroom we would remodel.  Winning that kitchen makeover threw a wrench in our plans and, as it turns out, this was the last major project that had to be completed.  The entire bathroom was wallpapered—ceiling and all—in a godawful yellow gingham that, maybe back in the day was something special, but it made my eyes hurt.  It was during this last and final major project that I would come to realize that I wish we had installed an elevator.  Or at least an escalator.  I mean, what are the odds of always needing (or forgetting!) what was 52 stairs steps down to the basement from here?  This bathroom is the largest of the three and gave us the opportunity to install the clawfoot tub we wanted.  Antique picture frames were repurposed as vanity mirrors and glass shelving built into the window provides a great home for potted plants.  Check out the before pictures below–the transformation is nothing less than remarkable!

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com
Strawberry blossoms are an indication of a heavy crop this year.
Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
