Here comes the sad part of the story. The previous owners really did a quick and easy job to make it look nice superficially. When Ry removed the mirror that was hanging over the bathroom to replace it with another, there was actually a hole in the wall. Arck!
Then, the tub and surrounding tiles appeared to be bright, shiny white...months later we learned it had been painted on. It's in a partially peeled state right now.
Meanwhile, we are disheartened.
I keep thinking, is it worth it to spend large sums on home improvement? Maybe it is if your bathroom turns out this peaceful and relaxing. I might want to clean it more and shower more.

I think if you can budget it and it would make both of you happy you should go with it. Honestly the tub might not be too hard a fix though, you might ask someone the next time you go somewhere like Lowe's. (If you decide to make any major changes you'll need to write a guest post about it for me!)
