my nemesis, the claw foot tub

Remember when I expressed my bitterness towards our claw foot tub here in this post?

Well, have you ever lived with a claw foot tub? And thought, “Oh, how charming?” Yeah, that’s what I thought too. So cute, so charming. Four months later, “not practical, at all” are my exact thoughts. You know it’s not practical when at 5 feet tall you can barely fit in the darn thing.

Our clawfoot tub/shower is built into the wall underneath the staircase so there’s not a lot of open space in it. Not to mention that claw foot tubs are raised quite a bit off the ground, and when you have low ceilings that makes for a problem. I think Al bumps his head every morning.

As of now it’s a hate, hate relationship between me and the tub. I’d love for it to be a love, hate relationship but there’s really just nothing about it that I’m loving. Have you had one? Do you want one? Convince me to accept the thing!
