Bathtub-sofa

A second-hand store opened and I stopped to look at its window. There was an object that made me smile.

It was a red sofa, but not an ordinary one. No, this one was made by a man who specializes in recycling old things. What he had done was to take an old-fashioned bath tub and cut it into half. Then he had painted the half bright red, installed legs, padded the edges and sewn a sof big cushion to sit on. And there it was. A bright red sofa that used to be a bathtub.

It looked so modern and cheerful. What imagination the man had! To use something abandoned and unwanted and turn it into a fashionable piece of furniture.

It never ceases to amaze me what the human mind can come up with!
