Tired at the end of the day and want to make your bathing time a bit more special?
Nothing screams decadence more than a bath tub that costs as much as a V8 sports car, or a plot of land on the Ecuador's central coast, or tuition for one year at a private college, or adoption fees for a three and a half-year old Russian orphan in Siberia....
It took three years for Lori Gardner to painstakingly affix each and every one of the 44,928 small pink-colored Swarovski crystals by hand to the exterior of a nineteenth-century style cast iron, claw foot tub.
Does soap scum and gummy hair spray residue coat your bathroom frequently? Gardner has hidden one real diamond among all the crystals. You can search for it while cleaning the tub. Rather your cleaning lady can. With a price tag of $39,000 for the tub, who would be cleaning their own bathroom?
A portion of the proceeds from the sale will go toward Breast Cancer Research. Or another charity of your choice.
Still think it is too expensive? The bathtub features another secret: when you're crawling around on the floor to swifter up those tumble weeds of long hair that always seem to collect, you can place a mirror underneath the tub and see a surprise.
If pink doesn't match your current tile color, you can custom-order another color.
The Diamond Bathtub is on display at Fleur de Lys, 369 E. 17th Street in Costa Mesa, CA. For more info visit: The Diamond Bathtub.

I want to say its ridiculous, but its kind of hard to hate anything that sparkly.
haha! so true. in my head i redesigned my bathroom in case i had one of these tubs... down to the sconces mounted above on the wall.
Pity that the proud owner won't see the sparkles from inside the tub. This one will have to be faced with mirrors and candles for the full effect!
Soodie, welcome back- so glad for your return-not sure about this tub! pgt
Soodie,

I continue to be amazed at what people do with time and a glue gun.
I find this tub pretty and lovely!
I wish someone brought that bling-tub to the "Antique Roadshow" to get a reaction from the Keno brothers. Wonder what price they would put on it? Wonder if they would laugh?
