When we bought our house the bathroom had sliding shower doors. We took those down on our second day in the house and replaced it for this curved curtain rod and curtain.
It looked great until you opened the curtain…
Where you found this nastiness… every time I gave the boys a bath in it I felt like a bad mom.
Look closer at the tub. The glaze was worn off which meant you could not wipe it down and dirt was embedded in the raw porcelain. YUCK.
After moving in I scrubbed for at least 12 hours with every chemical on the market and it still looked nasty.
Then I saw this gem for just $25. Today I want to share the easiest tutorial ever for How to Glaze a Tub.
I thought I could glaze the tub during one of Mason’s naps. That was until I realized that each coat would take about 30 minutes, and you had to wait for an hour between coats. Of course I needed 4 coats, not the recommended two because everything I do takes more coats than reccomended. It looks WAY better though! Not too shabby for $25 though!
Now I don’t feel guilty giving the boys baths anymore either!

September 6, 2018 at 1:06 amHow did youl keep your kids safe from inhaling the fumes after painting? I want to do this in my guest bath but the only things that’s holding me back is i have a 1 year old baby and i am worried about the strong fumes. Thanks
