Tub
I’m going to help renovate someone’s bathroom next week and today she took me along to shop for a bath tub. She wants one of those old bath tubs with lion’s feet and she had been looking for a nice one (wide and long, but not too long for her bathroom) for a while. She thought she had found the ONE in a shop very close to our house so I went along for inspection. It looked alright to me, a bit pricey but she was not too bothered by that. The tub will be refinished with new email and repainted on the outside. When it returns from the re-finisher I’ll install new taps, a shower head and a shower curtain. But before that we have to remove the old bath first.
Too bad the tub doesn’t have lion claw feet but pigeon claw feet. If you ever been on the Dam square in Amsterdam you know why.

“Refinished with new email?” But it’s an old-fashioned tub. Shouldn’t you refinish it with old letters?

You’re right, my bad. I’ll send you an enamel with the exact specs.

I love those bathtubs! We have one now and there’s nothing like it – deep and long, ahhhh:-)
I only wish ours had the tap in the middle, on the wall, not at one end, so we could take baths together without one of us getting a tap in the spine.
