Updating?

                                             This is my tub 'to be' ! 

We're redoing our master bed and bath. 
The first thing on my list, is to get rid of the jetted tub, and replace  it with an old clawfoot. 
 When you say 'updating' most folks think of  modernizing, but I'm the opposite. 
My dream is to own a very old house...but since that is not in the forseeable future,  I need to make my house  'feel' old. 
So anyway, this tub is the starting point  for the masterbath redo. 
While my kids were growing up, we lived in an old house with a clawfoot tub, and no shower, and that worked fine for me, and it's what I want again. (there is another shower in the house). 
Anyway, things usually take a long time getting done in my house, and even though it can be frustrating,  it can be a good thing.   It takes me a while to make decisions. especially if it's something I have to live with for a while.
Below are images of bathrooms that give me a feeling that I really like...I think it mostly the simplicity.
so I'll have to post a picture of my bathroom now (scary thought), so that you can see where I take it.  But be patient!
