This small bathtub has antique-looking distressed enamel along with 4 gold claw feet. The aged finish make it look like a collector’s item, and no one would ever suspect that you bought it online for only $25.
Actually, this mini clawfoot tub is not so small. In fact, it measures almost 1 1/2 feet in length and over 1 foot in height (including the faucet).
Therefore, you can easily grow a couple of plants in 6″ pots or add faux fern greenery or other silk plants. Easily create a unique arrangement using floral foam bricks to keep all of the foliage neatly in place.
Alternatively, the tub can hold a few hand towels, soap or other toiletries. Place it on a bathroom counter by the sink or on top of a cabinet as a decorative accent.
Note:The tub has a flat backside, which enables you to push the planter flush against a wall. Plus, you can even hang it on a wall to save counter space. Of course, the tub stands on its own too.

Note:These enamel bathtubs don’t have drain holes, which can be advantageous when used indoors. However, keep this in mind if you need drainage.
