own a bathtub with feet

I want to have a very old house with such things.
Original wood floors, doors with vintage knobs. Creaky stairs. Straight up humble.
Bathtub included.
I can’t wait.

Until I got one. Maybe if it was a nicer apartment and not already falling apart…It’s dirty underneath and if you drop something behind it, you’ll never see it again (although I don’t imagine you’d want to). I did figure out how to solve the shower curtain issue: if they’re too long, cut the bottoms off! (It only took me a year to think of that one….....)

...but it’s a pain. I’ve had people complement it (I didn’t own it, though, I rented an apt with this type of tub—should have been an indication of things!)

I know that occasionally I’d get my toes caught on the edge of the tub, and man, did that hurt. Shower curtains are also a total pain if it’s a tub/shower combination (ours couldn’t be used as a tub alone). If you use it everyday/more than once a day, you should invest in cheap shower liners/curtains becasue yours will get moldy and it’s cheaper to throw them out rather than to replace them.

The curtains also tended to fly up due to the moisture/heat and most people tended to think the shower was trying to kill them. Great when you have guests over. >_<

Cleaning under it can be a total pain too, unless you have the right materials for it. I just used a regular mop and prayed it got everything. Because of the curvature it made getting into the far corners really hard.

Sure it looks cool but it’s a total pain unless you’re willing to maintain it.

Of course, I don’t actually OWN the tub per se. (I should’ve phrased the goal differently, as I’m in no position to own any kind of tub!) But it is mine for a year!

Cream and Burgundy, now in the house I’m selling in Australia… oh well, I will have one again one day!

it’s shorter and deeper than your usual tub and heavy as a mutha; we save it for the good soaks or the snuggly-wuggly type

I’d love one, but it wouldn’t work in my apartment. When I do get a house, I definately want one – even if it’s a spare tub.
