Growing up on a horse farm, where galvanized tubs were not for decor, I can't say I ever imagined I'd be writing about all their fascinating design possibilities. But hear I am, and to confess, I'm a sucker for almost anything galvanized. So in the spirit of summer, kiddie pools, and beer bottles chilling in metal tubs, here's a bit of visual inspiration for your enjoyment.

Whether your style is farmhouse casual, modern industrial, or beach chic — galvanized metal can be incorporated into just about any decor quite seamlessly. From watering troughs to bathing tubs and wading pools. Planters, ponds and water fountains; the possibilities are endless. And one of the best parts, it's a rather inexpensive material to boot!

Check out this post if your interested in getting your hands on a galvanized container of your own.
