So absolutely GORGEOUS clawfoot tub but the bathroom had this AWFUL linoleum and... apparently someone decided to handmade a shower curtain rod for it... It was some metal pipe and electrical tape - and really small. And everything was stark white...
So, here is what we did. FIRST thing was to rip up that disgusting floor. It honestly came up quite easily. We redid the ENTIRE apartment because there was this gorgeous hardwood floor underneath. We used Minwax Honey Pine but because of the tone of the wood it turned this beautiful, warm color. We almost always use Minwax, the color and quality is always reliable.
Next Stop: PAINT.
I could't tolerate that stark white, especially with all the blotches from patching holes.
BTW PREMIXED patch is the way to go 100% - great for projects large and small.
As for the color, we went with Eggshell white on top and Silver City on the bottom with white trim.
I actually kept the Silver City throughout the whole apartment. It's a really nice fresh grey, not a lot of blue in it like some of them.
We did absolutely HAVE to replace the shower curtain rod with this one. It's the perfect size, and really nice silver, and you could actually FIT between the shower curtains once they were up. It's not durable enough to hang towels off of or anything, in fact, we added a little extra support because it was wobbly. But it looks pretty :)
