creative ideas needed please
Comments (8)Spray paint it the color of your bedroom colors and use it to hang beads and necklaces. Use in the kitchen to hang large cooking utincils. Cut the top hooks and handle off, turn upside down, shove deep in the ground and put a gazing ball in the obvious holder. The part that you cut off could be hooked onto your pot rack to hold extra pan lids. Cut the top hooks and handle off and use the left-over spiked stand to hold teacup feeder (you know the ones glued to the slinder vases) Paint it green and Use as a tomatoe or eggplant plant support in veggie garden. The tongs could be painted to resemble a whimsical garden bug if your hubs can bend the metal. Add wired-on beads as eyeballs in the tong hadles....See MoreNeed creative idea for sofa table top?
Comments (9)Groomingal - I love the idea of an old tin sign! Might be hard to find a very long and narrow one at a good price though... but it gives me an idea anyhow. Mine was sloppily painted a stark white when I got it. I sanded lightly, used a tackcloth then painted a creamier white (Mythic Ivory - Valspar seaside retreat collection). Took 3 coats with a brush. I left the old paint on the knobs and just sanded some of it off making it look a little shabby. I have a matching china cabinet too in the same room. Good luck with painting yours - I don't envy you. Just my 2 pieces wore me out. lol Had to move my hatbox. Cat was making it a bed. :-)...See Moreneed creative idea for a waterbed hutch

Can you mount it on the wall to use over a regular bed? It sounds very nice. A pic would help. kathy...See MoreNeed ideas for repurposing a hall stand
Comments (6)Hall trees…masterful invention for the old Victorian entry. Do you have a master bath nearby? I am thinking towels and bathrobes..maybe a beautiful comb/brush set on the shelf? Of course there are lots of vintage sets, but not sure you would want to use them…VCStore has a lovely set…looks original. https://www.vermontcountrystore.com/mirror-comb-and-brush-dresser-set/product/70104?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid%20search&utm_campaign=pla&sourceid=7SPFGPLA&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgIPOBRDnARIsAHA1X3RYh1QySR36tnsY-hwaN5mYPc9MNDdpI3yDEwb4dmLR-6s5UN6HTJoaAjToEALw_wcB...See Moredoodys
