Thing by thing

Nine stops: the bedroom, and then the bath.

  1. The room, in the primary suite of the Traditional House.

    The room

    From the door: the bed against the west wall between two windows, and the arched window to the garden rising into the gable.

  2. Bed, in the primary suite of the Traditional House.

    Bed

    An upholstered bed with a tall plain headboard, a bench at its foot, on a pale rug that leaves a border of the oak floor.

  3. Nightstands, in the primary suite of the Traditional House.

    Nightstands

    A walnut chest of two drawers each side of the bed, with brass pulls and a lamp.

  4. Chairs by the window, in the primary suite of the Traditional House.

    Chairs by the window

    A pair of low lounge chairs and a small table, under the arched window that faces the garden.

  5. Rings of light, in the primary suite of the Traditional House.

    Rings of light

    Three brass rings on fine rods from the open roof, hung over the foot of the bed.

  6. The bath, in the primary suite of the Traditional House.

    The bath

    Beyond the dressing rooms: twenty-six feet by seventeen and open to the roof, its walls in slabs of pale marble. The tub stands in the middle of the far wall between two windows.

  7. Bathtub, in the primary suite of the Traditional House.

    Bathtub

    A freestanding tub, oval and deep, on a plinth of dark marble, with a floor-standing filler in brass and a stool for towels.

  8. Vanity, in the primary suite of the Traditional House.

    Vanity

    Ten and a half feet of walnut drawers hung clear of the floor under one marble top, with two basins standing on it and a round backlit mirror over each, against a wall of walnut reeds.

  9. Shower, in the primary suite of the Traditional House.

    Shower

    Two walls of marble and two of glass, level with the floor, with a rain head on a brass arm and a lit niche. The lavatory is behind a screen in the opposite corner.
