Holiday Hostess Gifts

Brass suddenly looks new again, particularly if it is unlaquered. Any one or all of these items will be perfect for the newly rescued bath.Slideshow

In 2010 Peter Sallick wrote a guest post for TPB about his love affair with his outdoor shower. As long as the temperature was above freezing, he headed outdoors every morning, rain or shine, to experience the simplicity of showering in an outdoor environment surrounded by hydrangeas, tall grasses and a big buddleia. He enjoyed the evolving foliage of the mature plants, the quiet of the early morning and the opportunity to be alone.
