Amanda, I've got a bad feeling that it is!!! I was living in LaVergne and my house there would have been perfect! The front bedroom had a SE view with a bay window.

Chas, those are the shelves from those wire shelving units you can buy at Lowe's. They fit perfectly across the tub! The window above the tub faces south and is on the SW corner of the house.

I'm currently misting from the top but don't spray enough for any water to gather in the crown. The only thing I try to avoid is misting the flowers.
