apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

That is amazingly cool. I bet it is also really freakin' heavy.

An architect in my neighborhood made a media stand out of an old tub and thick glass shelves, standing on end on casters. It's really cool, but he said he went through $100 in drill bits installing the shelves and casters. I can't imagine trying to cut one in half.

It reminds me of the "sofa" in Breakfast at Tiffanys. =)

Enough with the Sofas/Chairs/Beds/Bookcases/Tables/Desks/Duckponds, etc. made from bathtubs already!

Brrrrr. Cold!

oh god, no! sometimes it's ok to throw something away/recycle instead of repurposing! prime example here.

I think it would great in a garden setting.

whoops, I meant to say "look great" in a garden setting.

Hello, Holly Golightly!

interesting that they chose to use the end of the tub with the drain plug for sitting. Either it was to make it obvious that this is a repurposed tub, or it serves some other purpose maybe?
...nevermind.

If you did use it outside, a functioning drain hole would drain rain water.

Good point. They would have to drill a hole in the other half below, but an outdoor seat would be a perfect use for something like this.

I'm inclined to make a smart-ass quip about the drain and keen placement of a "dainty bucket", but in this case it would be far too crass, and so I am therefore holding my tongue.

I think that if those things that look like mathematical "brackets" on each side are executed really well in person, this really must be nice. I think it's a beautiful shape, which not everything that's as well-meant as this is.

Not for me... I like my porcelain in the bathroom, thanks.
