This Bathtub is More than it Appears to Be…Master Bathroom, Chapter 6
The clawfoot bathtub in our master bathroom is a ‘champagne bubble’ bathtub and it’s as pretty as it is wonderful to use.
I had considered getting a truly vintage clawfoot bathtub, but the more I read about these ‘champagne’ bubble tubs the more I was convinced that was the tub for this bathroom.
The vintage looking hardware I ordered on line. And the hand sprayer is super convenient for rinsing hair, as well as rinsing the tub.
Those are the tiny ‘bubble’ holes that change a regular bath into a champagne bath.
The ‘towel bucket’ next to the bathtub coordinates with the garbage can pail by the toilet, and both enamelware pieces are from HomeGoods.
In the post, some weeks ago, I explained about the antique interior window. It got so much feedback I was amazed, and that’s what prompted me to give a total tour of this room.
Coming up in the final post in this series about the master bathroom will be touching on the 2nd vanity and showing some shower details…

I went the old fashioned way and got an old clawfoot tub out of an old house and refinished the outside myself. It was a huge amount of work and I am glad I only did one, but I really love it. Like Jewelry in my Bathroom! Love Love Love Clawfoot Tubs! Yours is beautiful and I am sure that it feels wonderful. Here’s a link to a story I wrote about my tub.

lovely lovely lovely – you have me wanting a champgagne tub now (always thought I would want a vintage tub too) but you have me rethinking it! is it easy to keep clean with the bubble holes? xo xo
I’m your newest linky follower & of course would love to have you over to our cottage as a follower anytime!

I have had no trouble keeping it clean. That was one of the things I liked about this tub, unlike some of the jetted tubs that actually keep old water in the hoses, this one blows out all the old water and is much more sanitary.
Love the tub and your bathroom! Thank you for sharing your creative idea at Potpourri Friday!
I swear, your bathroom continues to amaze me! I love that tub and the champagne bubbles? So do they actually make bubbles? I LOVE my tub but it’s just big and round. No jets but that’s okay with me. As long as I fit in it!
It does make bubbles and is wonderfully relaxing!
I adore your tub and the hardware… and that is the cutest little towel bucket! Great work!
You can check out my project over at http://www.migonishome.com; I made a tufted headboard.
How beautiful.
Your bathroom looks so wonderful. Love, love the faucet and the handheld.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi. Your clawfoot bath is a stunner for sure! We’re fixing up our bathroom very soon and looking to put in a clawfoot tub, so your pictures are very inspiring. Thanks for sharing! I’m your newest follower and I’d love it if you stopped by my blog to say hi

Your master bath and clawfoot tub are “yummy”!
Thanks for sharing with us

Awesome tub!!! I wouldn’t ever want to emerge from it!!! And the hardware you chose is absolutely perfect!

The hardware on this tub is so fine. And as if the tub isn’t special enough, it has champagne bubbles! Take me away, Calgon! (You might not be old enough to remember that commercial) Thanks for giving everyone a chance to escape to your spa at my Show & Tell party.
Sharon @ mrs. hines class
Oh yes I am old enough! And I totally remember those commercials…in fact I’m so old, the threat of forgetting is a worry!
I love claw foot tubs and to add to it all the bubble holes! It looks amazing:)
What a beautiful tub! We had a claw foot tub growing up and I absolutely loved it. It wasn’t a champagne claw foot tub, but never the less. Love the bathroom suite!
I am visiting via from My Front Porch. Absolutely gorgeous! I love, love, love it!
Make it a great day!
Okay the claw foot tub has sent me deeply into jealousy overload!;) LOVE it!
I love the bath tub. My mom has a claw foot tub and I love it! I have never heard of a champagne tub. Neat.
I love everything about your bathroom- the tub (I have a clawfoot tub that came with my house), the way you made your stained-glass window a part of your room by keeping it inside the room, and especially your chair. I have one very similar to it, only mine has a wood decorative piece at the top of the back.Wish I could get a look at the rest of the bathroom, though. Again- nice job, love it!
What a perfectly wonderful place to bathe!
Magical in every way …

Your bathroom is so beautiful and that tub is absolutely DIVINE!!!!

That is the coolest tub! Your bathroom is just beautiful!
Where did you buy the soap holder?
Got it from Restoration Hardware…online. I was somewhat ‘home-bound’ at the time of the remodeling of the bathroom, so I took great advantage of online shopping!
I love claw foot tubs…they are the best to take a bath in!
Love your bathtub. I hadn’t heard of the champagne tubs, that is fabulous. Such a beautiful room. I love it. Love that window too. Thanks tons for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
I want a claw foot tub so badly, but just dont have the room, sad face. This is awsome.. thanks for sharing
Oh, I’m sorry…I know, we had to knock down 2 walls to move them both back aobut 6 inches to gain an extra foot to have enough space.
I love the tub! I would also love for you to stop by and link up at my linky party via: ourdelightfulhome.blogspot.com

Love it. We so wanted a claw foot tub when we did our bathroom but we couldn’t find anything remotely reasonable, then come to find out our neighbor had thrown one away about a month before! Such is life. But you did amazing on this bathroom.
Visiting from Whimsically Homemade!
Love your tub. I found you at Cowgirl Up! I also shared my clawfoot tub at the linky party. Where did you get the hardware with the hand sprayer? I love that!
I ordered it on-line…It was 2 years ago… so I’m a little foggy, but it was either from the company that the tub came from, out in California, or Faucets.com? If you are looking and would really like to know, for sure comment back and I’ll find my paperwork to let you know. Little Bit
I never heard of this tub either, we plan on redoing our upstair bath and it’s great to get this information. Your bathroom is amazing, and how could anyone not love it. Don’t be surprise is one day you opened up the door and a stranger (me) is inside. Thanks for sharing all your creative inspirations at Sunday’s Best.
Ha Ha, You crack me up
Oh my goodness! This looks amazing! I love this bathroom. I’d move right in! LOL . I am visiting from Serendipity and Spice link party. Have a great week.
Wow ! I have never heard of this kind of tub . I love claw foot tubs so much we’ve had ours restored. I’m going to have to look into this ! Stopping by from Sunday’s Best party at My 1929 Charmer.
