Peeking in on the bathroom…
The plumbers are on a lunch break, so I snuck in to take a few photos of the progress. So far things are going smoothly, with the exception of the sink faucet, naturally. Apparently the old holes for the handles are square and small, and all new new fixtures need a hole that larger. And round. Uh oh! But maybe they can enlarge the holes with a drill. We’ll see. More finger-crossing is necessary!
The bathroom looks so much smaller now that a huge tub in in there! Imagine it with a sink and toilet, too.
My, what nice claws you have!

LOVE the claws!
To get your bathroom is a real adventure with a big suspense!!! ;)
I have been following your bathroom reno closely (and those beautiful marble hex tiles). The tub is definitely reminding me of the one in my former home in Poughkeepsie. Hope all goes well with the fixtures.
Did you rule out painting the tub magenta?
I did decide not to go with the magenta, Kathleen. The bathroom is just SO small and cramped, and I didn’t want to introduce any unecessary elements.
I know, white isn’t as fun, but it’s going to be great anyway. :)
I like the white tub - very fresh and relaxing. Exactly what you want in a bathroom. It’s really coming along great!
Hi Anna,
I think I found a link to your blog on SFGIRLBYBAY, and I have been following it for a few months now. You have great taste and your house is shaping up so nicely. A few years ago we renovated our tiny dumpy flat in San Francisco… I feel your pain when things don’t turn out how you planned. Anyway, thanks for sharing your home and ideas, I think your bathroom looks great and I can’t wait to see it with the wallpaper.
great point about unnecessary elements. way to edit your bathroom design! i think i tend to over edit & end up not making a commitment to anything… which is why our bathroom looks very much like your “before” photo. i am, however, however totally inspired by your tiles :)
oops! scratch one of those howevers above!
i also meant to ask if your bathroom has a fan.
only one of our bathrooms has one…but the full baths with showers don’t & they get pretty humid & mucky fast. gotta love an old victorian.
bathroom is gorgeous! love the detailing on the tub, love the floors….love it all
I can’t wait to see this all done, that floor is beyond gorgeous!
Thanks, guys! I’m feeling pretty happy that things are moving right along. :)
Michelle, our bathroom doesn’t have a fan (the logistics of venting to the outside without damaging the building weren’t worth working out), but we do have a HUGE window, so I’m not too worried about the humidity factor. All my life I’ve lived in old houses, and I just open the window as soon as I start running the water.
gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!
That claw is awesome!
I think you’re going to have a really fantastic bathroom when it’s all done, which you guys clearly deserve. Can’t wait to see it.
i love those tiles!

That tub is to die for!!! It looks so awesome Anna, I can’t wait to see it all put together!

my fingers & toes are crossed… but looking at these photos I can see it’s going to be FANTASTIC!!!
I love that claw foot tub. It is amazing and i am insanely jealous.
