Ok..someone stop me...i can't seem to stop posting..lol. I now realize i am a junkmarket junky now.  Found this antique iron heat grate at the yard..was thinking it would be cool with some red plexiglass behind the scroll work and make it a light up wall sconce.

ultrajunk writes: Gretchen...yes you are correct..i paid about $1 for it as regular steel from the yard is 15 cents a pound. I found some more goodies today at the scrap yard and will be posting them later today. I can't seem to slow down, but when it's a good deal i have to buy it.
I am at the scrap yard monday -friday rain sleet or snow and it never get's old.

decide to do will be great (I'm fighting the urge). You really can't go wrong with a piece that awesome.
Congratulations or my condolences on being a bona fide JunkMarket junky. I'm glad you are.

Sue has shown in one of her books using the bottom of it to oraganize paper in the office, and has made a ladder bookshelf out of a number of grates using the flat part. There is any number of things one can do, and it will be fun to see what you come up. It is actually quite intriguing and fun to see your posts, so keep showing them.
This find is great/grate. : )
