Hello Cuties,
Thirty years ago, when my youngest daughter was about six years old, she used to take a bath at my broth-in-law's house. We would camp out along the fish bank, but go to their house to bathe.
She loved their claw footed bathtub, with the sloped back. She told him, on one of those times, "Uncle Quince, when you die I want you to give me this bath tub". His reply to her was, "As long as you are in no hurry for it"-lol
He is still living at home. Although he is now 89 and has lost his wife eleven years ago, he still remembered his promise.
He gave her this tub, when she bought her new house over a year ago, but she just had it re-porcelain/refinished. They picked it up today and our son and son-in-law hooked up the plumbing to it. Didn't it turn out beautiful? I think the guy did an amazing job. Look at the feet before and after. Wow! It is copper colored underneath now and bronze feet. The original color was pink underneath.
Ashley cried.
She said she waited 30 years for it and it has such history.
The reason it looked so bad in the before pics, it had been out in the weather here, at my house for the last year, on saw horses. Before that, it was left in their old abandoned home.
I think it has found its home again.....
Toogie
..........Just the reason I won't be trying it out!
She does treasure things...kinda reminds me of her mom and dad, we like old things with history.
