We just purchased this LARGE piece at a flea market ($200 bucks). It is about 8 feet tall...these monsters used to sit on the peak of a barn as an air vent. It's made of heavy galvanized metal and has a v in the bottom that fit over the peak of the roof.  Any cool ideas for displaying this behemoth? We would like to get it up off the ground (out of the North Dakota snow). We live on a 100+ year old farm on the Red River and have a HUGE yard. So...if any of you creative people have any ideas I would love to hear from you!

suewhitney writes: What a great cupola...love it. I would use it on some type of outdoor room structure. I once saw one used as the top of an outhouse. It was hysterical. Good luck and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

Take care,

Junk_Sophisticate writes: Wow! This is such a nice one! I found a blog called Crows on the Cupola, and they built a wooden structure for their cupola to sit on. Planted a pretty garden around it too.

Check out the photos...and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

I do show a picture on my JMS post http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/12759/clean-up-that-yard-with-a-little-junk. Mine's rusting a little but I think that adds to the patina I think. Great piece!

RustyDiva writes: WOW, awesome piece! I would just be tempted to use it as great yard art and sounds like you have plenty of yard to fit it's size. I'm sure you will get some great ideas here and congratulations of such a great purchase! Posted: 12:20 pm on September 10th
