If you're looking to add Laundry to your bathroom check out our guest bathroom renovation video too! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oOBdasyCnsfPqIU.html (We've squeezed a lot into our two tiny bathrooms 🛁 !)

I agree with your pros and cons. I will add pro: the back curve of almost all are more comfortable. I've only had one tub that wasn't curved perfectly for a soak. Con: They are deep, so to have a deep soak, it uses more water than a smaller tub.

It's possible to take advantage of that back far left corner, and add shelves, and a towel rack. All necessary items could be accessed easily. It just makes these tubs really work. Also Target Threshold brand has a thicker shower curtain, that's holds a really nice form in the tub, compared to the cheaper ones, which I was alway's correcting.Add the black clips for style points.

I love claw foot tubs! Had a couple when I was a kid. I’d love to have one now :)

Our kiddo seems to like ours too! Obviously I have a love/hate relationship with our clawfoot tub. 😂 Our clawfoot is small, only 4 feet instead of the traditional 5 feet, so maybe that's another reason why? They are so pretty though!

@@AllofOurHomes the longer ones are better!!I had a shorter one.. seems like a lot of people had claw foot tubs when I was a kid. I’m old haha

If the tub continues to wobble, you can be truly vintage and use the standard leveling kit from the United States Mint - pennies, nickels or dimes wedged under the feet. Yes, this really is the way to level the tub because the feet are not adjustable. When we used to remove claw foot tubs from old buildings we would always find coins under the feet. This is the only solution we know of for leveling old tubs.

I just moved into an apartment with a clawfoot tub. So far, it's a freaking nightmare. I wish the rod that went around the top was wider, so much of the tub space is wasted while showering. I'm trying to figure out a way to expand it so I can utilize more of the space. It's almost impossible to shave with the little amount of room n nowhere to put my foot lol. I miss a regular shower so much😭 n all the places for storage.

get you some suction cups at the dollar store and hot glue them to the curtain, then you can pull the curtains more outward and stick them to the sides of the tub.

@@jodilynn6989 You can also buy the shower curtains that have built-in magnets at the bottom so they stick to the sides of the tub while showering.

@@rozyy15 they almost all have magnets these days. The magnets are not stronger than the force of suction created by the hot air inside the shower. They *do* make shower magnets but you have to buy them separately.

I love my ckawfoot tub. However there is now a leak coming from the pipes attached to the overhead shower. Hard to describe but I can't figure out just where the water is coming from or how to fix it. Any videos on this issue? Thanks.

@pompurin9431 Жыл бұрын

love this video! planning to get one for our new home! can it hold the weight of two adults?

@AllofOurHomes Жыл бұрын

Sure! But you should make sure you have additional reinforcing in your floor to hold any tub (+ water + people is a lot of weight). In older homes the floor joists and flooring in bathrooms often have water damage so have it checked as you renovate.
