Repurposed Bath Tubs

Here are a few pictures of repurposed bath tubs. Do you like any of these ideas?

I like the idea of reusing & repurposing things, but I don’t like these. All I can see is a bath tub. Just not for me.

I like the middle two especially the planter. Very attracive.

Actually I have seen a bathtub used for a planter . However, none of these ideas appeal to me and no matter what, it is still a tub. A big NO for me.

My friend had the first one in her apartment in the seventies.

What, No Madonna?

Wouldn't want one but that couch could be nice and cool in the summer.

Like the planter.

Not fair to the fish to have to swim in coloured water but like the waterfall feature.

Probably because I live in densely populated areas where the landflls grow large enough to be beginner ski mountains, I'm in favor of all sorts of re-purposing and I do think lots of people live on large plots of land and "decorate" it with rusted cars, tires, and old tubs . I'd prefer any of those in the pictures to either adding to a landfill or just sort if hiding one in the weeds.

Nice liner for a custom ice chest

I'm always on the hunt for items that can be repurposed, the more unexpected, the better. I like the ones outdoors best.

Most bathtubs are very, very heavy.

My friend just had her bathroom redesigned. If she'd wanted to change the tub (trying to get it out) would have doubled the cost.

A friend of mine (well she used to be) has 2 1/2 bathrooms. She had one tub and had it removed. I think it was the thin kind, not sure. I told her she should have left one tub because someone buying a house in this development would probably have young children and would use a tub.

I have 3 1/2 bathrooms. One full bathroom is called a Jack & Jill bathroom meaning it's in the middle of two bedrooms and can be entered separately from each bedroom. I thought that would be the good place to put the tub.

It's interesting how decorating houses changes. I know zip about decorating a house. My husband designed our house, picked out the furniture, etc. I am not good at it and maybe that's why I don't care about it. Ha!

Anyway, thanks for posting the wonderful pictures all of you post. I enjoy seeing them. I don't even move my furniture. It stays the same way from the day I move in to the day I move out.

I've seen @ECBG's house and it's especially beautiful. She has a wonderful talent for decorating.

I'm in the process of redecorating. I've given my youngest daughter full reign to do what she wants even though I'm the only person living here. She talks to me first, so it works.

It seems like sitting in the tub could get uncomfortable (they're hard and not very long).

Have a good day and thanks again.

Why do I think of communes, 'Donovan' singing gauzey songs, and crunchy granola, ha.

I don't like tubs used in these ways. As one who really likes clawfoot tubs, it also strikes me as such a waste-- I'd so love to have one in the one place I'd love it, our bathroom!

The bathtub fish pond is a poor idea

There's no way for the fish to hide from predators.

What a great topic! I like the ice chest and the little pond ideas.

I Like All of Em!

The idea of repurposing instead of tossing away, is super appealing to me.

I love stuff like that, the unexpected way to make something fun, functional, and pretty.

I'm IN!!!!

Not fond of these looks. The one being used as a drink cooler is a danger to small children when it's empty allowing a child to get in there and hide, unable to get out.

I don’t like the ice chest it looks like a coffin 🙁

Sometimes I think we've lost the ability to discern when something should be tossed out.

These are just one step above a toilet filled with geraniums.

I actually like the funky mosaic clawfoot planter tub, HOWEVER, I would never own it.😊
