El tamaño del lavabo negro esta muy pequeño, pero es muy bonito y elegante, no te deshagas de eso, ya lo podras poner en otro lugar.<br />No ha cambiado mucho el tema del baño a traves de los años, tienes razón.<br />Besos ClaraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12674863458893870733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-70060904350772592662010-10-01T20:47:15.586-04:002010-10-01T20:47:15.586-04:00Hi Sans!

All the other rooms are becoming very old fashioned in their feeling.... but as you can tell by now, I sometimes have a hard time making up my mind about what I want! So we shall see! As for your tribal house having no loo.... most of the older houses in our rural countryside didn't have bathrooms either. The outhouse was exactly that.... a tiny little house out in the back yard! Cold as the Dickens in the winter! There is a whole rural culture built around outhouses...... and many people make mini outhouse models even! Plumbing came slowly to the rural areas and older houses had to convert a space inside to be the bathroom! So your tribal house is much more authentic that way!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-43715066728794639592010-10-01T01:17:35.443-04:002010-10-01T01:17:35.443-04:00Hey Betsy, someone's got to do the dirty work!...Hey Betsy, someone's got to do the dirty work! :):) My tribal house has no loo or bathroom too but the villagers are known to do their business in the rivers. <br /><br />It is amazing how similar the toilet habits are all over the world. Bathing in a wooden tub seems to be a common thing to do whether in Japan, China or Europe. It is not that long ago that baths are still done in rooms and water carried to the beautiful porcelain tubs and then drained the same way. That's why baths are taken rarely back then. :):)<br /><br />I actually like the black set in the Folly , they don't look so bad except that they are smaller. In real life, the ones for kids are small too :).Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-61670541610508377772010-09-29T19:58:10.638-04:002010-09-29T19:58:10.638-04:00Thanks, Marisa!

I have to chuckle at your noticing the term "Lower Privy"..... because it sounds to me like something from England (or Scotland)! I love the names for places over there!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-1171359826960857512010-09-29T19:51:03.186-04:002010-09-29T19:51:03.186-04:00Thanks, Rosella!

I am learning a lot by studying it! And I also have a version of Dante's "Divine Comedy", but given the subject matter, it is not quite so full of images to copy!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-64580390909941307422010-09-29T19:45:25.555-04:002010-09-29T19:45:25.555-04:00Hi Christine!

The Middle Ages was not a dark period of history as it is often said, even at that time it had enjoyed the pleasure of the bath.<br /> How good is the reference to Boccaccio. The scene for the presentation of your bathroom with funny characters is very nice. I will follow the work of the castle with great care, because you're really good.
