Okay Farmgirls...I am so excited. I finally got an antique clawfoot bathtub to replicate MaryJane's outdoor bathing idea! It is a real beauty- in fact the porcelain is near perfect! I will be sure to post pictures as I re-finish the outside and set it in place for the outdoor bath area...cant wait to play around with this!

Nice! Will you keep it outside, or finish it for inside? Keep us posted. I'd love to see the finished picture. Marly

Thanks Ladies! I plan on keeping it outside and having a summertime "Outdoor" bath. I have a corner in my yard in front of a hydrangea, and I am going to do it all up farmgirl style. I thought it was a real steal...only paid $50 Bucks for it! As I said the inside is near perfect- just have to re-paint the outside. I will post pics when I have the "finished product".

OK, a tub for plants or decoration is great, I could use one for decoration or actually for the house to bathe in since they are sooo roomy. But to be honest all I can think of a claw foot tub is the viagra comercials, a couple outside in two separate tubs. I just don't get it, why not one tub that fits two??
God bless,

Oh yes, please send pics when you have it all set up! I am so intrigued with the idea that MJF has at their B&B. Better and an upscale hot tub! A perfect summer night idea under the stars! Fun!

That is pretty nice. Do you bring the hot water out to it, or is it a cold bath or a sunwarmed bath? Looking forward to the pictures when you have it all in place. Nancy Jo

Thanks CJ for the pics of the "Real McCoy" at MaryJanes. Yes I am going to copy her and what is in her Outpost book and use a 2 burner camp stove set on pavers underneath the tub. I will fill it with the hose, and then put a plywood cover over it covered by a quilt so that it heats up quicker. Then I shall hop in and say AHHHHHH. I plan on putting it in a corner garden area so I will just have to put a clothesline across the front for privacy since the corner is already "private" from the 6" fence and my hydrangea etc. My daughter and I are looking forward to making it all girly girl. I will surely keep you posted and post pics when it is complete. Good luck in your quest CJ- I have no doubt that you can pull this off! Keep us posted!

Sounds like a real fun thing to have Laurie! I should do this too as we only have a shower in our house.

The setup at MJs B&B worked really well . . . fill the tub with water from the hose, light the two burners, let it get nice and warm (you need to shut that off before you get in . . don't wanna toast your buns!) Having it outside is wonderful because you can enjoy the fresh air, the trees, the sky, the stars . . ahhhhhhh! I could do it if I just had the tub . . we'll see! CJ

I just found a really cool "bath caddy" online from Bed Bath and Beyond- They have one made of teak (which would be good for my outdoor bath) and it is the coolest thing...holds your book, a taper candle and a wine glass- what more could an outdoor bathin' farmgirl ask for....LOL Funny thing is that its $40 and I only paid $50 for the whole tub, so have to think about that one.
