OK, just one more picture of Sharyn and Eddie’s beautiful house in Florida.

This is the master bath. I desperately covet a copper bathtub (or…any bathtub into which I can fit). Are you lucky enough to have one? Here are some tips for caring for it:

1. Apply a coat of wax about once a month, to lock in the color.

2. Wipe it dry with a soft cloth (one that won’t scratch the metal) after bathing.

3. Avoid ammonia; it will damage the finish.

4. Or just go for one of these, which have a patina finish “fired-in” and require basically no upkeep.
