| After my mil died the family went through her remaining stuff in storage and some we took and a lot went to Goodwill. Here are a couple of things that no one wanted so I took them.
The little bench was battered and antiqued green with blue chcckered cloth cover. Now with a bit of paint and some oil cloth it is a side table or extra seat on my porch. I just thought the bed (identical head and foot boards was beautiful. Not sure what I'll do with it yet. kathy

| Great job on the bench! What a good idea to use the oil cloth to have it outside! I have one of those....maybe I can steal your idea! The bed is called a spool bed. I guess because it looks like lots of sewing spools put together. I have one that was my parents. I'm hanging onto it to use in the guest room. I would love to see what you end up doing with yours! |

| I have seen these is gardens with flowers and climbing roses, but they may have been metal/brass. Maybe inside you could put artifical flowers or even real ones if you are not going to use it for a bed. Check Backyard Living (Reman/Reader Digest) If you have the room to display the flowers and little animals perched around, peeking out etc. |
