Get thee a clawfoot tub!

You need this. Did you already hear me say this? Oh wait, YES YOU DID!!!

You can get these babies for free (sometimes) and then call the best tub guy in town, Happy, to refinish it for you (PM me for his info).

This baby was behind a friend’s renovation project. Sadly, he was not a believer in the powerful transforming and healing powers of a CFT. However, he gave it to me so I am eternally grateful! ) so he gave it to me! Thanks, Brent!

Here we are after the very sweaty Duke’s Dad and Happy got her into position in the new Master Bath. Isn’t she great!?! I wanted to leave that rustic feel to her and Happy knew just what I wanted. Supremely happy with Happy. He’s a hardworking champ!

Rubba-dub-dub!

Here she is after the GREAT TEAM from American Plumbing went above and beyond to help me get a shower in the new bathroom! They went off site and took the hardware off another old tub and put it onto this ole’ girl! Seriously nicest guys ever - thanks Terrence and Mr. Bryan!

All in all, if you want a CFT DO IT! The nostalgia, charm, and TUB SOAKin is well worth it. Enjoy!

What is it about a claw foot tub? Is it the promise of soothing bubbles and the supportive lip of the tub’s edge for your weary head — where you can unwind and slough off the day? Or is it ( I dare say!) a place to celebrate your small victories, the little daily triumphs like, say, getting all your errands done and washing the dog?!? YES, the tub can be !!both of these things and that’s why I like to celebrate these vintage beauties by finding, refinishing, and installing them in my new builds and cottage renovations. Contact me to find out more about how you can get a beauty like this one into your life!
