We spent this weekend shopping in Portland for house things. The plan for the downstairs bathroom has always involved a clawfoot tub. Because it's such a small space, we needed a tiny one. 54 inches to be exact. Which are harder to come by and always more expensive.
After seeing what our options were for the last 6 months we purchased this one from Hippo Hardware on Saturday. We saw it there in December, it was still there this weekend and after all of our research we knew this was a good deal. We bartered a bit and paying cash helped our cause too.
It is a Sunrise reproduction in excellent condition. We looked at lots of older tubs, but none were in good shape and a man at Aurora Salvage told us never to refinish the inside of one because it wouldn't last. Buying one that was already in good shape sounded good to us, and check out those beautiful feet!
After adding up what the components would cost new from Sunrise, we ended up paying a little less than half. A deal we couldn't pass up!
