Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Betty Ingham speaking on behalf of Expert Village. When we moved into this Victorian house, the bathtub and sink were in very very poor condition. We did not have the money to completely restore everything but we did have the labor of love that we wanted to show off this beautiful old bathtub. It had been painted green, pink, black,every color so what we did we stripped this side of it. We took the claw feet that had been painted many many colors and we took them out in the yard, we stripped them and of course we really didn't realize that they were actually claw feet and they were kind of scary in fact, so we did paint the tub."
