How do I restore a cast iron clawfoot bathtub?

I have a cast iron clawfoot bathtub that I would like to restore but I don't know where to start...

The bathtub is chipping paint on the outside and there may be some rusting but I am not sure. The appearance underneath the paint is brown and it feels rough but it may just be the cast iron surface.

I want to keep the outside of the tub looking rustic but add some color as well.What is the best way to accomplish this? I was thinking I would need to chip off or sand the paint where it is peeling and then to use Rustoleum spray paint with a sponge in the places that I want to color.

The inside of the tub is in good condition and doesn't have any chips but I want to change the color as well. Do I need to strip the paint or can I paint right over it? What type of paint should I use?

If the tub is outside do I need to seal it or waterproof it with anything?

Thanks for any information or help you can give. It is most appreciated!

The inside of the tub is porcelain. This is like glass and you cannot change the color. The only thing that may work is a special epoxy tub re-finishing kit. For the outside, wire brush off as much as you can. Now prime and paint any color with Rustoleum.

What You Need To Know About Cast Iron Fireplaces

Fireplaces have a long history in and outside of our homes. They are used to cook from camp grounds to the modern kitchen, and to add a rustic or comforting warmth and appeal to a home. Often fireplaces are highly sought after by home buyer and can contribute value to your home. They are also a great source of emergency heat! If you are in the market for a fireplace for any of the above reasons you have a lot to choose from. Cast iron fireplaces are an attractive and unique choice, whether used as in indoor or outdoor fireplace. There are many manufacturers and companies who specialize in iron fireplaces for the outdoors.

The first thing you need to know is that cast iron fireplaces come in indoor and outdoor versions. Prices vary greatly depending on what you are looking for. Choosing an outdoor fireplace is less complicated because they vent outside. Most of the outdoor styles use wood or charcoal as fuel and are great for entertaining because you can cook on them. The most popular style of outdoor cast iron fireplaces is called a chimnea. This is in essence an outdoor stove of sorts. Be careful when setting this one up because it is very heavy. Be sure of where you want it to sit before you begin. These outdoor fireplaces are great when you have company around for an evening, and you want to get out of the house for a little while.

Choosing an indoor style is more complicated because they do vent inside. You need to decide if you want gas or wood burning while keeping ventilation in mind. Another consideration is the size and placement in your home. If you haven't used your chimney in a while you may want to consider having it serviced or cleaned to make sure it is working properly. Consult an expert on this for the safety of your family.

If you do not have a chimney or another way to vent the fireplace do not panic! Ventless fireplaces are very attractive and very energy efficient way to add that ambience you are looking for. Ventless cast iron fireplaces are gas powered and can be bought to fit almost any area or room in your home.

In addition to purchasing your fireplace there are several tools that you should consider.
•Screens – an extremely attractive touch, they also keep the sparks at bay.
•Broom, shovel, poker and stand – used in the upkeep and cleaning of most fireplaces.
•Chimney cap – protects your fireplace from outside hazards and things that can be a safety risk.
•Ash container – used to collect ash until enough is accumulated and removed for easy cleaning.
•Candelabra – Get one specifically designed for a fireplace and enjoy the same warm ambience and flickering light without having to go through starting a fire.

Did you know that many people are using fire as a replacement for radiators in some rooms. Though this might not be advisable in most cases, it is acceptable in some. The best thing to do is to speak with a fireplace safety expert who will be able to advise you on the best options for your home.
