Rub A Dub Dub

To put the finishing touches on our new bathroom, we had our iron claw foot tub refinished. The company who resurfaced it said it was dated to 1924. It is still in our dinning room area, but I wanted to share how well it turned out with you.



The previous home owners had painted the outside of it black, but we decided to go with the white inside and out, and original iron clad feet.



This is the before, please don't mind the mess around the tub!!



It really shined up nicely, and it is so soft and smooth now.



Little rusty before. Soon, I will post final bathroom photos!!

There's Nothing Like a Fire Place!!

Boy am I worn out from building fires.



My thumb gets so tired!!

So, we finally have what we always wanted for our house. We put in this gas insert a few weeks ago, and just love it. It really puts out some heat, unfortunately the heat goes straight up the stairs, but we're fixing that with some curtains at the opening of the stair case. I just need some ideas for decorating the mantel. Now Santa will be able to visit us next Christmas.
