From the Forum: Should the Cast Iron Tub Stay or Go?

The vintage cast iron tub adds some charm but a homeowner is trying to figure out if they should make it work or add some modern amenities. The long and narrow bathroom is looking dated and the shower head in the middle of the tub is an issue. They are looking for some ideas to freshen up the space and are wondering if they should bring in a designer to help them consider options. What have other homeowners done?

Please chime in with your advice.
