I hope to have all the original 1" thick oak floors restored in this house eventually. We had a huge leak in the kitchen 2 xmases ago, and had to replace the floor (with plywood), so I've stashed up the boards we took out of there, and I'll use them to patch up the bathroom. I'm having a hard time convincing hubby that this is a good idea, or I'd have it done already. (I don't know what he's thinking.)

Yes, I LURVE my clawfoot tub. I don't think this house had indoor plumbing at it's inception, so the tub is probably not original to the house. But it should be original with the plumbing!

Funny, I avoided using it for the first 3 years we lived here because I knew there was a wrinkled spot under the tile elsewhere in the bathroom, so I already suspected it was from the tub. Then I got over my fear and started using it and watching closely. It must just be seepage because there are no water spots anywhere to tip me off. I'm sad about it.
