    Hi, how about sealing up the holes and using it as a rigid pond liner and have a lovely pond in your garden?

      @Gill Moreton I don't want to have to take it out..........I just want to figure out how to disguise it and use it for storage. I don't want to spend a bunch of money on a bathroom remodel....but thanks..........oh.......I don't do gardens

    Ok, what about a hinged piece of plywood making it a store got towels etc. You could put cushions on it and it could look like a seat

      @Gill Moreton That's sort of what i was thinking. Problem is, I'm a little old lady in my 70's. I have the tools....but am trying to figure out how to make a curved box over the tub. If I saw pictures of how someone else had done this, I might be able to figure things out with a bit of help from sons and grandsons. but thank you for your help.

    If you can get the help I would cover the top of the tub with plywood perhaps and cover with cushions and make a nice seat for yourself.

    I love all of the fun ideas!! Mine won't help, its just funny...we have a litter box in ours...3 cats, no waiting!:) It is however covered. I made it look like its a tub/shower and made a "shower curtain" for it. We didn't use it, figured somebody should, hence the litter box.

    I saw a article in IKEA hackers dot net where someone built a platform over their existing tub and installed a wardrobe on top. They secured it to the wall behind the tub. Just be sure the water is shut off , remove the faucet and cap the waterlines. Stop up the drain as well .(Water evaporates from unused drains and allows smells to filter up into the room). If the wardrobe idea is to big for the space, a smaller cupboard might work better.

    If you like house plants, this might be the place for an indoor garden.

    Though this isn't a corner tub, it could help give you an idea how it's done. http://aintshecrafty.blogspot.com/2010/09/unused-bathtub-clever-friend-total.html
