Comments (4)Hi szruns. From what I've learned it's almost never wise to disregard the manufacturer's directions regarding your concern. Here's some info on tubs from gardenweb to get you started. A lot of it is still current. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/bath/msg1201101028412.html I'd suggest you do a search on this site - you'll find lots of other useful info on tubs, including some on the kind of tub you're looking for. I did that kind of research when I was remodeling and found it very helpful...See MoreFreestanding Tubs, Clawfoot Tubs
Comments (5)I have a cast iron clawfoot (I know you said you weren't interested in those specifically) which we love. My husband is 6'5" and has trouble fitting into regular sized tubs; the clawfoot is deep and he can get a good soak. We looked at the Victoria and Albert tubs, but decided on the clawfoot because we found a great deal on a used one on craigslist and it matched the period of our house (1910 bungalow). Neither of us miss having the deck. We are struggling with finding storage, but that is a general issue we are having with the overall bathroom, not specific to the tub. When reading I'll just put my magazine, book or paper on the floor next to the tub. It's not that inconvenient to lean over and pick it up again over the edge of the tub. I don't have any problems getting in and out of the tub, and I've had foot surgery like you would not believe. I've had my ankle, leg, and foot surgically reconstructed 9 times in the past 6 years. While I'm no longer on crutches, I am significantly disabled (makes many DIY projects very difficult for me). I also have very poor balance and suffered nerve damage during one my surgeries so have no sensation on the bottom of my foot. I was warned that all of these issues would make it difficult for me to get in and out of a clawfoot tub, but I just hold onto the opposite side for balance and have no trouble. I have good days and bad days, and on bad days I sit on the edge of the tub and just swing my legs over. I don't think using the clawfoot tub is any more difficult than a regular shallower tub. This was my foot last year, you can see that it was pretty messed up. Even though I had a regular tub during this procedure and only recently got the clawfoot, I'm still recovering from the surgery....See MoreLight over master bath tub
Comments (8)There are some silvery finishes, with some style. It's a limited area, overloaded with drum shades. You don't appear to have a lot of height. Measure.......because no licensed electrician will break with code for an install. That much I can tell you. That's why a lot of these.........become a recessed light : ) Some very slim sconces either side of the middle window might be a better idea. and get a recessed for over the tub. Otherwise, measure for flush. https://www.lumens.com/broche-large-wall-sconce-flushmount-by-crystorama-uu554858.html#cgid=%0A17%0A&start=48&sz=48&tileIndex=41 or https://www.lumens.com/bryce-flower-flushmount-by-visual-comfort-VISP203968.html That is why a couple sconces.................might give you the most style and be up to code as well....See Moretim45z10
