New Project: Outdoor Bathtub...

Lately I have been really missing a bath. This is the first house I've lived in for a long long time without one. Our backyard is very big and it has a nice and private little corner down the back which is overgrown with plants and trees offering the perfect spot for an outdoor bath.

I could hang some little lanterns from the tree branches...
 On Etsy by treasureagain with a whole bunch of up-cycled goodness.

Read a book and have a glass of red using my Sustainable Bamboo Bath Caddy...

Hopefully it will look as lovely as this one...

If I could afford it I would get a Dutchtub!

I think they're fantastic! But completely out of my price range as basic tubs start at $6,950 AUD.
I've been looking around for an old enamel tub and I could probably get one for $100, plus some insulated hose for getting the hot water from the laundry to the back of the yard, a tap, some timber to make a frame for it and maybe a few stepping stones would be nice. Aahhh.
In the meantime we'll just have to keep going back to the Peninsula Hot Springs down the road, which are super lovely and half price after 7pm!
