Clawfoot Tub

When designing our master bathroom, I knew a clawfoot tub was a must-have! I grew up dreaming of having a clawfoot tub in my adult bathroom and now it was time to make that dream a reality.

What’s not to love about a super deep bath tub with beautiful curves and super cute feet?

How can you not love those creepy cute clawfeet???  And that faucet!! 

We originally looked on Craigslist for a tub.  After some research, we learned a local bathroom resurfacing company had tubs in stock that we could choose from. After selecting our tub, the resurfacing company chemically etched, neutralized, doubled primed and top coated the tub to ensure a long finish life. I wish I had a before picture.

We liked the idea of having something repurposed into our home.  It is a good example of our decorating style….something old made modern.

Who shares my love of clawfoot tubs?  Or do those feet creep you out?

  1. Omg, I love your tub! The legs add so much character. Sigh...I wish we had the room for one in our house.

  2. I love it. Our new house has a clawfoot, but we had to remove it. The bathroom is so super small, it didn't fit and I couldn't have added a curtain with the wall curves. A friend of ours took it. Someday, I hope to have one like yours. What a dreamy bathroom. Looks like something out of a magazine.

  17. My master bath has almost the exact same layout...minus the claw foot tub. It is clean and beautiful. I love clean lines! Simplicity is under rated in my opinion. ;) Thanks a million for joining Roomspiration!

  18. That's a remarkable amount of space allocated to the clawfoot tub and is so symmetrical, I had to look twice to be sure I wasn't looking at the bathroom in a mirror.

    I know it said that you were after a deep tub and I applaud the resurfacing of the old rolled rim style tub but if you were after a deeper tub in the vein of the classic clawfoot style, go with a Swedish. The Swedish tubs are 17 1/2" deep compared to the average of 13 - 14" deep on the traditional clawfoot tubs.

    Cheers
