Ahhhh. Seriously, I do love this bathtub. It's so wonderfully deep compared to standard modern tubs. I could wish for it to be slightly longer (it's only a 5-footer) but since it was free (a family heirloom) I'm not going to complain. Before this tub I only rarely took baths because in a regular tub its just not worth the time it takes to transform the utilitarian shower area into a comfy soaking environment. I'm actually glad we didn't try to install a shower fixture for the clawfoot, and not just becuase it would have been difficult and expensive - it means that this space is always 100% ready for a relaxing bath. There's really nothing better to restore the spirit on a dark cold night after a long day at work. Having this tub is worth every minute I spent restoring it to good condition.

Ahhh, yes, I have been known to be jealous of your soaking tub. Since I am a bigger girl, it is difficult for me to relax in a regular shower/bath tub not to mention my weirdness about having it sparkling clean before I am willing to get in! I don't like floaties in my bath water!
Your new place has a tub that will put this one to shame though, right? Then the only thing you'll be missing is the inflatable pillow. Maybe santa will bring you one... :)
This looks amazing! I am about to take on the same project and was nervous that it couldn't be done well at home(not professional) But you guys did a great job! Can you point me to the kit and other materials that you used? I am sure that there are a lot of others that would like to know too
