Spouting Off

Eleanor loves taking baths in our big blue tub, but we worry when her head gets too close to the spout. We needed a cover, and we figured we may as well try to find one that looked good. After all, there isn’t anything we can do about that surrounding tile and bad grout job (short of a full reno), but at least we can have something cute to distract us from it.

Whale Bathtub Spout

The Moby bath spout cover matches our tub perfectly, and it’s pretty darn adorable. Oh, but I should say it’s not the only cute thing in there to distract us… Especially when Eleanor makes her little scrunchy face.

    What a cutie! :)

    You have a blue tub!! I love it. And I love that the whale matches. Do you think you need an adorable baby to get one of these adorable whales – cause I want one!

    Though you’re right, it’s second to that adorably squishy face!

    What a great idea! The colors match perfectly! Oh and Eleanor is just the sweetest!!! Her face is precious!

    That is so cute… I agree with Christine though, I don’t have kids and I still want one of these for my tub!

    That is a stink-eye I believe.

    I love the blue tub!

    A tube of caulking might help cover up the nastyness where the tub meets the tile. I was totally grossed out by our bath until my boyfriend redid the caulk one Sunday afternoon. It makes a world of difference and was very easy to do.

    Oh my goodness!How cute is she!! I love it!!

  9. Angei June 17, 2010 at 2:47 pm #

    Her and that face! So adorable!! <3

    What a doll! That “scrunchy face” is adorable.

  11. kat June 17, 2010 at 2:52 pm #

    AHhhh i love that face!

  12. Kat June 17, 2010 at 2:56 pm #

    Been debating on whether or not to get the Moby sprout cover. It looks really cute, but of course not as cute as that scrunchy face :)

  13. AbraCat June 17, 2010 at 3:12 pm #

    What a cutie-face.

    My youngest is six– would it be weird to get one of these? It’s adorable.

  14. Renee Nordholm June 17, 2010 at 3:13 pm #

    Soooo stinkin’ cute! Ahh I love the Moby and sweet Eleanor! Perfect photo moment! Does Moby’s arms flap? That is just to precious.

  15. Kim June 17, 2010 at 3:23 pm #

    Love the scrunchy face

  16. stacey erin June 17, 2010 at 3:25 pm #

    Love it! Growing up, my sister and I had one of these in the form of a styrofoam roll with a polar bear head on the end. Not nearly as cute as the Moby! Now, if I only had a little-one so it wouldn’t be weird to get this for my tub…

  17. lil g June 17, 2010 at 3:35 pm #

    cutie pie! I have been eyeing the moby for my daughter, do you think it would work on a spout without the pull up for the shower?

  18. Leah June 17, 2010 at 3:45 pm #

    So cute!

  19. Licia June 17, 2010 at 3:49 pm #

    Last night while I was giving my boys a bath, Luca hit the spout with his nose. He got a bad boo boo, blood and all. How timely that you would post this today. I’m getting it!

  20. Amanda June 17, 2010 at 3:57 pm #

    What a cutie! Kiss her a thousand times a day!

  21. Jessica June 17, 2010 at 3:58 pm #

    Oh dear, I don’t think I’d ever seen pictures of your bathtub before. Ick! The moby definitely helps take some of the focus off of the tile. Are there are any plans for a future update to the bathroom?

  22. priscilla June 17, 2010 at 4:14 pm #

    What a cute punim!

  23. bianca June 17, 2010 at 4:20 pm #

    Cute!I want one, and I’m 25…

  24. cath June 17, 2010 at 4:31 pm #

    We have one of those too! It is cute and seems to be working out well…we have had it for a few months and no mold or mildew yet…Gotta love that face :)

  25. Rachel June 17, 2010 at 4:31 pm #

    She is so cute! What a perfect match to the tub.

  26. meryl rose June 17, 2010 at 4:32 pm #

    Holy crap that spout is TOO cool and Eleanor is TOO CUTE! :)

  27. Ally June 17, 2010 at 4:39 pm #

    I SO wish I had seen this post a month ago because I bought a Dora the Explorer spout cover that drives me bonkers! It doesn’t fit, but I can’t return it because my little dear won’t part with it now. Also, what an adorable baby you have!

  28. Jujube June 17, 2010 at 4:52 pm #

    That is super cute :)
    Love the little whale and little baby in blue tub

  29. Amanda June 17, 2010 at 5:15 pm #

    I literally just bought the whale this week and put on our spout. My little guy liked it!

  30. Kate Smith June 17, 2010 at 5:53 pm #

    Adorable! Around our house we call that “stink-face”!

  31. the chatty housewife June 17, 2010 at 6:19 pm #

    Oh my goodness, that face is the best. I have a scar under my chin from a bathtub spout, I’m glad Eleanor won’t have one to match!

  32. Jessica J June 17, 2010 at 6:45 pm #

    Look at how cute she is! We had that same cover for our daughter but had the same problem a lot of the reviews said which was that it didn’t fit our spout type. :( We could put it on but it wouldn’t tighten enough so she could easily pull it off….but it was cut while it lasted. :)

  33. Jules June 17, 2010 at 7:05 pm #

    Scrunchy face!

  34. Heather June 17, 2010 at 8:10 pm #

    That face is the sweetest thing…one to make bad days great!

  35. Jessica June 17, 2010 at 8:18 pm #

    Ok that face is the most adorable thing in the post but the whale is pretty cool. We have some strange faucet in our tub and I have bought like three covers to try to keep my little from hitting her head- maybe I will try this- it is the cutest- also I adore the blue tub!

  36. young c-m June 17, 2010 at 8:53 pm #

    We just ordered this last night! Fun stuff!

  37. JenWoodhouse.com June 17, 2010 at 9:31 pm #

    OMG. that scrunchy face is the CUTEST!!!!

  38. Simone- honeyandfizz June 17, 2010 at 9:42 pm #

    How cute!! The whale and Eleanor:)

  39. Mélo June 17, 2010 at 10:01 pm #

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH! She’s so cute! :D

  40. Lisa June 17, 2010 at 10:04 pm #

    Love the baby and the whale! If you really can’t stand the color of the tub or tiles, an affordable solution can be had without full remodel. We had a tub that we thought we would need to get rid of. Instead, we had it re-glazed. It cost $250 and looks brand new. I’m thinking the tiles could be done too, but, we re-did those ourselves.

    I don’t want to give unsolicited advice, but, I have followed your blog forever and didn’t know if this was available to you. Granted, you might totally be in love with the tub and tile, and therefore, should completely disregard all that I said expect for the part about the cute baby and whale.

  41. laurajane June 17, 2010 at 10:06 pm #

    She’s super cute.

  42. cynthia June 17, 2010 at 10:10 pm #

    omg!!! i’ve been looking for one for my son and i know that he’ll totally love this whale. it is the cutest!!!! :)

  43. Katie @ explanation required June 17, 2010 at 10:10 pm #

    I love that faucet cover! I actually just ordered a much uglier one yesterday. We’re having a hard time finding one that will fit our faucet properly since the shower diverter is in the front. Glad someone else got to enjoy that cute whale!!

  44. Pencils June 17, 2010 at 11:21 pm #

    Very cute! Both the baby and the whale. We have the yellow duckie cover, which my twenty-month-old daughter sometimes takes off and hugs. She loves her duckies. I bought one of the giant rubber duckies years ago before I was married because I thought it was cute, and now Homer is one of her favorite toys. She hugs him too, and will stick his head under the water and say “um, um, um, um…eatin!” Aurora’s seen the ducks and geese and swans at the park eating in the lake many times, so I guess that’s where she got it from.

  45. Audrie June 17, 2010 at 11:28 pm #

    I’m dying! Her face is just too cute! The whale’s not half bad either hehe

  46. Pencils June 17, 2010 at 11:37 pm #

    BTW, I love your blue tub. Embrace the colored bath fixtures! OK, the tile is awful, but I’d keep the blue tub and put up new tile. I wish I had blue in my downstairs bath, instead of white with gray tiles. The gray is so boring and depressing. That’s the original 1954 bath in our house. There’s a yellow 1962 bath upstairs that I adore.

  47. Ricka June 18, 2010 at 12:20 am #

    How lovely the spout cover and the matching colour of bath tub it is !! Gorgeous!!!!

  48. Anissa June 18, 2010 at 7:31 am #

    I love that you’re showing us your ugly tile. I read so many decorating blogs that I sometimes develop the warped perception that everyone else’s homes are beautiful and perfect. You don’t have to dig yourself into a pile of debt making everything perfect the moment you move in.

    Your downstairs bathroom redo of mostly paint and accessories inspired me to paint and accessorize my much-hated bathroom with wonderful results. I used to hate going in there. Now, I love it. It reminded me that you don’t always have to knock down walls, re-floor or change fixtures to make a place more attractive.

  49. Valentina June 18, 2010 at 8:10 am #

    *LOVE*LOVE* the face! :)

  50. Melissa June 18, 2010 at 8:50 am #

    So fun! We have the same blue tub at our cabin.
