Un Bain de Plein Air

May 18, 2011 | Gardening, Homesteading, Potager | 13 comments

The finishing touches are almost done in the Potager.
Then, the fun part… the styling!
I’ve got some dreamy ideas that I hope I have time to pull together… 
I can’t resist doing a bit before the big day on Monday.
I promise Fifi, 
I won’t have hurt feelings if you giggle your Parisienne giggle and tear the entire thing apart and start over!
Alas, no bread oven yet.  
Even a DIY project can be trés cher!
It’s been a grueling week of long, long days in the garden.  
Long, filthy days that would have had to have been done – photo shoot next Monday or not in order to finish the big expansion.
Did I mention how filthy???
With 8 City Chicks and 3 “Chickens” the dirt tracked upstairs to our one and only full bath is getting a little out of control.
Read: Insane.
I’ve got this bonne marché brainstorm for an outdoor, solar shower.
Now, if only I could find a claw foot tub on Craigslist for $50…

    That outdoor bath is insanely scrumptious! I love how it even has a sink and mirror. I sincerely hope that you’ll be able to find a claw foot tub on Craigslist for $50 as well. We had one in the house I grew up in as a kid and I sorely miss it to this day…

    Your kids would just love this!
    I can just imagine you saying to Juliette: “No, Hoolie, tonight we need to take a bath inside…”
    Before I saw that this was not your open air bath, I wondered why you had that gaudy fish under the table:) It definitely didn’t look like you!

    Hang in there with all of “les grands projets.”

    Mandy,
    I was thinking, “What fish is she talking about?” then I looked again!
    Hilarious!

    I have a claw foot tub outside that we use in the summer. Simply a wonderful treat. I do hope you find one.

    Oh Angela, that looks absolutely tranquil. I would love to have an outside shower/bath. Good luck on your search. I am still trying to work on my “potager”, however the weather is not being very cooperative right now. Can you say MUD, that is what my potager is right now.
