Are you remodeling a princess-themed bathroom? Or maybe one in Vegas? Well, look no further than this sparkly bathtub by SICIS. It’s made out of glass that l00ks like pink sequins.  A perfect present for the sparkly shoe-lover in your life!

We want to know if the heel of the “shoe” could be used as a water slide into the bath for an extra dash of fun. What do you think of this fun and unusual bath?

Home design and decorating website DigsDigs does a great job of digging up some of the greatest finds in the world of modern design, interior decor and architecture. If you’re interested in modern style, you could spend hours clicking through the site’s many categories and photos and blog posts.

Today, though, we’re going to focus on just one small segment of DigsDigs’ modern tastes, sharing some highlights of the site’s finds in for the bathroom. Specifically, we wanted to share some of the great modern tubs and showers the site has featured.

For starters, check out this shower and bath combo from Twinline2. It’s certainly stylish, but it also deploys a rather simple element of universal design: a full-length door that eliminates the need to step over the high tub wall, a common cause of bathroom accident.

This freestanding oval-shaped tub from Castello certainly looks elegant, but that’s arguably more due to the color — sleek, shiny black — than the shape. As DigsDigs writes, “Black bathtubs always look very elegant and refined. Such bathtubs attract an attention and make people to dream about bathing in them.”

For fun, here’s a rather similar tub in bright, bold red, and another made of wood but with a pattern that makes it look like black marble.

This white tub with a wood “skirt” does a great job of marrying sleek, modern elegance with a more traditional (by way of the wood) feel that’d fit just about anywhere.

Speaking of wood tubs, here’s something from the funkier side: a wardrobe combined with a bathtub. DigsDigs explains: “Thanks to the specially designed joints that expand when they become wet the bath closet remains fully watertight. The wood, taken from a single larch tree, can be used in combination with water and gives out a pleasing pine aroma when the bath is filled.”

Could you ever see yourself using something like this?

Thanks to DigsDigs for digging up all of this great stuff!

Is it wrong to link to a round-up post in our round-up post? I hope not because these kitchen and bath makeover projects make for some nice eye candy — and they might give you some ideas for freshening up your space.

One of the most beautiful homes…ever

Speaking of eye candy, Curbly.com’s DIY Maven calls this house one of the most beautiful she’s ever seen. Great use of windows to really bring the outside in.

Awesome Custom-Printed Window Treatments
CalFinder Blog
Speaking of windows, we’re obvious fans. We’re also kind of fond of these unique window treatments (one of which is shown in the photo at right). A neat way to turn some windows that might otherwise be a bit plain into true works of art — and nice conversation starters.

Here’s a Building That Makes Money Selling Electricity
Home Design Find
Speaking of conversation starters, how about selling electricity back to the grid to make an extra few bucks? This house in France is so green, its owners actually create more energy than they consume, without sacrificing a nice modern aesthetic.

Aren’t you pleased we made the “speaking of” gimmick work for the entire post?
