The Grotto doesn't offer very many luxuries.
It is, after all, a basement.
It has a lot of character...if by character one means twists and turns and earthy. And since that's what I mean, then this place is chock full o' the character.
One thing it does have though - a luxury in my opinion - is an old fashioned claw foot tub.
Sure, there are no jets so massaging bubbles are self-manufactured, but it's huge and deep and I've an endless supply of hot water thanks to the fact that we also have radiator heat. w00t!
Now I love a good bath. I don't spend hours or anything ridiculous as that in the tub. But I do love to get in and soak for half an hour in a bubble bath with a glass of wine.
But, because I'm kinda stingy when it comes to bath things, I've never attempted to take my bathing experience to the next level. Until...
A couple of months ago, I bought this:

OK, mine doesn't look exactly look like this but you get the point.
The point is that for $10 my bath time went from a nice experience to a pampering, luxuriating extravaganza. I'm in the tub at least twice a week now and could easily spend an hour or more...if I had that kind of time.
Quite possibly the best frivolous $10 I ever spent.
