Its a drawer front from an old dresser (with some porcelain door knobs added)..., so it could be a hanging rack for coats, jewelry, purses, etc...........and, its pretty in pink!!
A close up of the very cool metal rose (it used to be a copper color).
Just a simple re-do - a paint job and a few vintage handles...to hold some little trinkets, silverware, make-up, etc...
A funky hanging lampshade with lots of bling - I left the vintage braiding around the edges, used some real crystal and some plastic cylinder-shaped bling!  (I sold this at the last show, but wanted to share the pic.)

Starting to think about our next show...at the Scott Antique Market (at the Ohio State Fairgrounds in Columbus) - November 29 & 30 (Thanksgiving weekend) - a great "inside" show - yippee no unpredictable Ohio weather to contend with... - here are a couple of my projects (with a lot more to come).

I see so many of the coppery wall hangings...leaves, sometimes pretty, but who wants that garish gold? AAAAHHHHH...magic wand...a white or pale pink paint brush!

So glad we're Spring junk trade partners! Yipee! Posted: 9:32 am on March 22nd

Good luck with the upcoming show! Outside?

All beautiful, but I must confess the bling project is my fav. Keep up the good work.

Take care,

I have one of these bird cage holders on my front porch with a newer style candle chandelier hanging in it. I will take photos soon and post them of my porch. It is one of my favorite areas of our primary home, as it's white/green with chippy painted pcs. However, I had two sets of birds nest in my faux vine wreath and they had made a royal mess everywhere, so yesterday I finally got to cleaning it all up. I had to scrub everything, furniture, floor, bric a brac, etc. Fortunately, it was a beautiful Fall day in Minnesota, and I was waiting for contractors while working on this mess. Naughty birds!

I've made a couple of the shades into hanging lights, but decided to leave this one "energy efficient" (no electric) ha ha! (I thought it'd look nice with a short strand of clear Christmas lights wrapped thru it too...)I do have a couple more I'm going to do with some old silverware and crystals - I'll put lights in those.

LuAnn - I knew I'd eventually use them for something - I've got about 10 more I think...) P.S. Don't let anyone know I'm doing this from work (too)..... :)
