Heaven is... a Zen Outdoor Shower

I should post a picture of my actual shower for comparison's sake.  My teeny tiny art-deco stall shower - it's just sad!

I would do just about anything to shower in one of these babies!  My obsession began the first time I stayed at the Bardessono Resort in Yountville, CA (a fairly new, eco friendly resort in the heart of the Napa wine country) - just steps from the French Laundry and Michael Chiarello's restaurant and shop.  It's a lovely spot - the rooms all have huge fireplaces, soaking tubs, heated floors, and luxe patios.  On top of that, some of the rooms have fabulous outdoor showers.

I'm not going to lie, it feels a little risque to walk out on the patio naked for your morning shower, but it's so freeing, and kind of sexy.

A girl can dream, right?!
