Holy Bathtub, Batman

It’s almost done. You might remember a few months ago I posted a video of our then-gutted bathroom. Well, as of today, all that remains is for the shower ring to be installed and the woodwork to be painted and/or stained.

We painted it a bright chartreuse, which sounds gross, but is actually very bright and cheery. The original pink, gold and black bathroom with formica wainscot and flocked wallpaper definitely had its own charm even though it didn’t really fit the 1920’s era house. I guess that’s why we lived with it that way for four years, until the floor started rotting away. Tile will be much better with three kids.

Beautiful. Love the colour. We have a cast iron bath like that and they make life worth living.

Thanks! We are happy with it, and, yes, that tub is super comfortable. It makes me want to take a bath just thinking about it!
