Eventually there will come a time when you’ll have to rip out your old bathtub. Then what? Recycle? Freecycle? Landfill? Here are a few ways some creative people found for re-using their old tubs.
1. Make a tub sofa. I love this, from Makezine.com
2. Along those same lines is this bath chair found at Tree Hugger.
3. The garden featured at Jett.net features lots of wonderful uses for recycled household items like this bathtub fish pond.
4. You can always turn it into a planter such as they did at the Country Cottage Inn.
5. Use it to hold your booze like this blogger at Deep Thoughts of a Shallow Mind.
6. And who wouldn’t want this clever bathroom bass found at the Daily Tubber?
LOL! Great post, Deborah! We use one old claw-foot as a lily pond down at the springhouse overflow, and another as combination icer for kegs and 9th hole on the disc golf course’s upper nine…
Love your site, have added you to my blogroll.
We use one as a watering tank for our horses…ALtho…I am sorely tempted to bring it in and refinish it …and take the 60’s atrocity midget tub out there for the horses.
How in the freak did I miss this! Awesome. Are you trying to get linked at every blog I write. I am so bringing this to Offbeat. That couch is amazing.
We have one of those old claw foot bathtubs in our barn. I was going to put it in the garden with flowers in it, or a fish pond. My husband laughs at me. I’ll have to show him these pictures.
