They say you can watch fire burn, water flow, and someone doing home renovations forever. And when it comes to summer house projects, the creativity never ends.
One clever homeowner took an old rusty bathtub to their country house — and what started as a simple idea quickly inspired the whole neighborhood. Here’s why.
Instead of throwing it away, he turned it into a mini backyard pond, and the results were so charming that neighbors started copying him.
Want to Try It? Here’s What You’ll Need to Do:
Pick a spot in your yard where you want your little pond.
Dig a hole just deep and wide enough to fit the bathtub snugly.
Line the entire hole and tub with thick plastic sheeting and press it down firmly so it sticks closely to the shape.
Connect a hose and fill it with water. That’s your base!
Now comes the fun part—decorating.
Surround the pond with stones, plants, sculptures, or even add a fountain effect using a hose with an upward nozzle. Float water lilies, add lights—get creative!
What used to be a dull, unused tub can now become a unique garden feature that no one else will have. And if kids splash around in it? It won’t look like a forgotten eyesore—it’ll look like a custom-designed mini oasis.
