A real bathtub

We had one of our young friends over to play. He ventured into our bathroom and came out with a thrill, "You have a real bathtub! Wow, a real bathtub!" We all laughed and smiled, yes, I guess we do!
Our real bathtub!
We purchased a "This Old House" we have tackled many projects. Our real bathtub was pink, red and white when we purchased the home. But after some research...(we looked on This Old House website) we found out that you can paint claw tubs yourself, using tractor paint. That is just what we did. Carrying this big old tub outside on to the deck was a chore! We also found another treasure, the date stamped into the bottom of the tub reads...1900 Kohler, Wisconsin!

  1. Cool! We have one of those too. Don't you just love the shape of those tubs. They're actually comfortable, not merely functional!

  2. Looks great. I didn't know they could be painted. We have one of those tubs upstairs but it's encased in wood.
