With the kind of week I’ve been having, today’s room really needed to be something special. A bit dreamy, relaxing, and full of… stories.
The bathroom belongs to author Michael Cunningam, which explains quite a bit, but I imagine that many of us would happily be at home here. A whole different kind of ‘library,’ there’s something about a hot bath and a real book that invites shutting off everything else going on in the world and escaping into another world. Even if only for a little bit.

I love the warmth and light in the design – but as a bibliophile, I’d be frantic about the damage the steam might be doing to my books!
i totally thought of that too
oh, practicality, killing the dream! i suppose you’d just have to make sure there’s some decent ventilation in there and some not-too-precious books!
A book shelf near the tub? How convenient! I would love to have something like this in my bathroom.
If this room doesn’t invite you in to relax, I don’t know what would. One of my favorite bathrooms I’ve seen in a while.

Oh my, this is wonderful! I can’t imagine a better place to relax and read a good book!
this would be my daughters definition of heaven as well, thanks for posting i will send it to her straight away for her new home inspiration tear sheets.
Wow! Now that is a dream bathroom. I love the storage and ledge built around the bath. This looks like the perfect place to relax, read and daydream for an entire afternoon.
Oh. My. Gosh.
I would never get out of the bathtub. I would turn into a wrinkly grandma prune and I WOULD LOVE IT. This room is so wonderful!
That bathroom is crazy! I would be a prune, literally, because I’d be reading everyday in the tub! I’d have to set a timer or something so I remembered to get out! =)
LOVE the idea of a soak in the tub with a good book, but I agree the reality of damaging the books would put a kibosh on it for me. The look of the space is wonderful though!
Seriously, the coolest bathroom EVER!
Canadian designer Brian Gluckstein created a gorgeous bathroom/library several years ago. Take a look here: http://marcusdesigninc.blogspot.ca/2010/05/designer-profile-brian-gluckstein.html.
Wow! It’s my dream!
That bathroom is a DREAM. Wow, it worries me about the books, hope it doesn’t get too steamy
