The Painted Clawfoot Tub

You’ll have to forgive me. My brain is consumed by house projects right now. With the master bedroom remodel complete, we’ve been going strong on finishing off the adjoining master bathroom. As happy as I am to have a cozy place to lay my head at night, I am so excited about this bathroom. It means we’ll now have 2 bathrooms (yay!) and that we’ll finally have a bathtub (yay yay!). We bought the tub a few weeks ago on Craigslist and it was painted all funky on one side and a beige/pink color on the other side. Maybe that’s why we got a deal on it and it was still available when we wanted it.

The master bathroom is so not complete. It is all kinds of pretty and hubby has done such a great job making it what I want it to be. But it is missing important things like a sink (He knocked over and broke the pedestal to the sink that was ready to be installed and we haven’t replaced it yet. I cried.) and a toilet. Coming soon.

For now, what we have is a room, painted, beaded boarded, tiled, and with a bathtub installed. Lest you think that we just set that tub in there and everything was rainbows and butterflies, that is not what happened. There was swearing, grunting, yelling, and even one point where hubby swore and yelled so loud that I came running from the other room and when I got in there, thought the tub was on his arm crushing it. He was fine, but I lost a few years off of my life.

We painted the walls of the bathroom a shade darker than our bedroom. The bedroom is Behr Cloudy Day. The bathroom and the tub are Behr Blue Fox. It took a lot of debating on what color to paint the tub. I was sure I wanted it to be red like the one in the cottage bathroom but we decided the tub and walls matching would be really nice.

I like it. Even with tools strewn everywhere.

If you never see me again, you know where I’ll be.
