How-To: Considerations Before Buying a Clawfoot Tub
Who isn't enchanted by clawfoot tubs? Just staring at this photo makes me want to fill one full of bubble bath and relax with a good book. However, if you're thinking about adding one to your home, here are some things to consider beforehand.
Crave Worthy: Neiman Marcus Albright Bathtub Set
I can't think of a more idyllic way to warm up this month than soaking in the Neiman Marcus Albright Bathtub Set ($6,489). Made of AcraStone, a chip- and wear-resistant material with a porcelain-like surface that is warm to the touch, it's a smart splurge if you're a life-long bath lover like me. Its Old World copper tub feet, faucet, and accessories have a classic appeal that will stay in style as long as its lifetime manufacturer's warranty.
Crave Worthy: Kohler Striped Claw-Foot Tub
My heart just skipped a beat when I saw this Kohler Striped Cast-Iron Claw Foot Tub (price unlisted) on AT:LA. Not only does it fulfill my life-long yearning for a claw-foot tub, but its cheerful, modern stripes would give my white bathroom a much-needed perk, and its ornate feet bring on the antique glam. I'm sure the tub is no where near affordable, but maybe using boat paint on a slick new tub could achieve the same look.

In general, I love my bathroom. It has adequate storage, a cute tiny-tile vintage white-and-blue floor, and a big, deep tub. (Oh, and a superefficient dual flush toilet.)
But if I could make one change to my bathroom, I'd trade out our big, deep tub for a more elegant and aesthetically lovely claw-foot tub.
