So lately I've had the little fetish with colored tubs.
Probably, because I'll never have one. ha!
But nonetheless, I think they are awesome! I've been pinning the ones that I've liked the most, this past month.
And then just this past week, one of our sponsors, Villeroy and Boch emailed me photos of these sleek new colored tubs from their La Bella collection that they just started carrying...
Cason and I LOVED these huge, freestanding, modern tubs.
I even really like how they staged this traditional white one in front of this awesome wall,
(you know me; I love that white and grey color combo) totally makes me want to jump right in and relax for a few hours :)
Are colored, over-sized tubs the new hot trend?
What's a girl to do if she doesn't have the $$$ or space for one?
Paint the outside of her old-school, builder-grade tub?
.

Is it possible?
hmm....
:)

ReplyDeletelove the red one!
ReplyDeleteThose tubs are gorgeous! I'm a sucker for a claw foot. Nothing like the 80's pink I was thinking of. ;)
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely, but trendy. I rented a house once that had a pink tub, toilet and shower. I'm sure it was "in" at one time, but just looked awful, later.
ReplyDeleteWe once had a light pink one. I'll be talking about it soon.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is building a new house and bought a claw foot toub for a steal. It really just needs a coat of paint, and I've been begging her to paint it a color of some sort. It's a cabin type house, so I'm thinking red. For me though, I'd definitely go with a more neutral color.
ReplyDeleteyou can totally do it! then post pictures for all of us to see. I love those colored tubs.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why you couldn't paint it. They make paint for almost everything out there these days. I've seen them painted professionally but never done by someone that's not a professional. I say do it and let us all know!!! How fun would that be!
ReplyDeleteDo you think that the builder grade tub would look the same painted? Where would you stop? Because there isn't a lip, like there is on the old fashioned ones. If you can figure it out, I'm all over it myself.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! My Mom is still trying to figure out what to do with her old Harvest Gold tub! LOL
ReplyDeleteI sure you could come up with a great idea. Maybe some vinyl decor along the side like you did in your panty would be the touch you are looking for. Can't wait to see what you do. As always...lovin' the blog. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that colored tubs are coming back in! Where have I been? These are definitely better than the ones from the past! Our house has a harvest gold toilet 8-)
ReplyDeleteWe have two claw foot tubs and the outside of both are painted different shades of red. Everyone loves them! They are AWESOME for taking baths. I didn't know that color tubs were the rage! Ours have been painted before we bought our house 7 years ago!
ReplyDeleteWoa... not liking this trend at ALL. Why lock yourself into a color scheme for life? Probably doesn't help that I have to stare at my inlaws avacado green tub that was all the rage thirty years ago. No thanks!
ReplyDeleteI do like the shape of those last two tubs.
oh my gosh! I havent been to your blog in a few weeks-oh man I've missed so much-back tracking now and catching up! and can I just say you are the cutest thing ever!! seriously!!
ReplyDeleteOooooooo....my little sister is going to be so happy to know that her old, green, 1970's tub is all the rage!!!! OK, OK, so maybe not the 70's style builder grade tubs are what you're talking about, but maybe she won't feel so bad about it being green anymore. ;)
ReplyDeleteJust curious, what color would you choose to put in your bathroom?
just love the purple one,
ReplyDeleteI have a tourqoise tub from the 70's.
ReplyDeleteNot by choice,it came with the house. I would love to get rid of it but heck maybe I should hold on to it. Like the painted claw tubs better.
How about some.... VINYL!... I did some drinking glasses 2 months ago for a party and they have been through the wash a ton of times and the vinyl is still tight... why not do something with that since I think it might hold up... or a tub monogram.... A TUB-o-Gram!
ReplyDeleteMaddie, who might need to go to bed..a bit punchy!
Maybe it is a trend, but history repeats itself-avocado green stoves and maroon toilets anyone?! haha! They were great at one time, but people now RUN from them! I happen to adore the trend-on clawfoots though! While the modern ones are super FUN, they're not my style, and I would freak about resale. However, I say do what YOU love and go for it if you can!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI bookmarked this at HGTV months ago and want hubby to do it to my builder-grade tub. You could do something similar and then paint it:

I think it would be fabulous!
Oh those are all so pretty! I have always wanted a colored claw foot tub in a bathroom too.
ReplyDeleteI love colored tubs too! I used to live in this apartment with an old caste iron claw tub, the owner painted the outside a light yellow to match the tiles, it was amazing. I loved that bathroom.
ReplyDeletepretty cool! I would have a turqoise one.
ReplyDeletewow, those look like giant sinks! haha
ReplyDeletewow...love them...I want one in turquoise!!
