Now that most of the paint is off, I can see why they call it a clawfoot tub!We're getting really close . . . I'm hoping that next week sometime I'll be able to post pictures of the completed bathroom!

The feet really do have claws
So, check out these feet. To give you an idea of how much paint they had on them before Josh stripped them, the guys who stripped the tub said it had 12--yes, 12--coats of paint on one side! (We had the outside professionally stripped to avoid any lead paint contamination of the house, seeing as how we were already getting the inside restored). Anyway, needless to say the feet just sort of looked like gold lumpy blobs.
