6 Uses for Your Old Bathtub
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?

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.

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.
