Charleston, SC, July 02, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Bestselling romance novelist Nora Roberts is the latest celebrity to “fall in love” with a Victoria & Albert freestanding bathtub. Actress Kristen Scott Thomas and TV personality and designer Ryan Brown also selected Victoria & Albert bathtubs for their homes.
Roberts chose three of the company’s freestanding tub designs – a classic clawfoot Roxburgh, spoon-shaped Napoli and sophisticated Monaco– for her recently opened hotel, The Inn BoonsBoro in Boonsboro, Maryland. Roberts owns the hotel and has been closely involved in its design.
“The shapes particularly were so fabulous, and so perfect for the feel and tone of each room,” says Roberts.
The sleek Napoli bathtub was also the centerpiece of choice for both Scott-Thomas and Brown. Scott-Thomas, best known for her roles in The English Patient and Four Weddings and A Funeral, choose a Napoli as a focal point in the master bath of her home in France.
The Napoli tub also fits well in the mod style of Brown’s 1950s California home. An interior designer and real estate developer, Brown stars in Bravo’s hit TV series, “Flipping Out.”
The Hampshire clawfoot tub "stars” in the new “Peepshow” in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood, which is hosted by Mel B of Spice Girls fame. The classically designed clawfoot serves as an on-stage prop during a dance scene.
“That’s a great testament to the durability of ENGLISHCAST™,” laughs Karl Schuele, U.S. marketing manager for Victoria & Albert. “If it can stand up to the rigors of high-heeled dancing and sharp-edged rhinestone costumes nightly, it can certainly stand up to a dropped shampoo bottle or two.”
