Bathtubs

Mid century bathrooms with just a walk-in shower were likely uncommon back in the day. Bath tubs weren't soakers, either. If you're looking for a new bathtub for your retro remodel, I recommend considering a design that's pretty simple. Please also be aware -- if you have an old bathtub or are looking to use one that's vintage -- of my research (story below) about the potential for lead in old bathtubs and sinks and ceramic tile of any age.
