I found this door last weekend at a flea market for $8 - couldn't pass it up, even though I don't know what the heck I'm going to do with it! Any of you clever people have ideas?

If you do this for a holiday you're not crazy about, I can't wait to see what you create next for the holidays you do like!

Very pretty... I admire anyone who can work with fabric like that. Fabrics hate me!

That's really a great idea... I have several of those laying around and haven't done anything with them yet. Very clever!

Re: Gas Lamp to Candlestick: Quick, Easy and Pretty Too!

What a find! Great job--I think it has great character, too. Love the combination of buttons with crystals.

Re: Ol' Blue Door

Thanks all for your great ideas & comments. I almost fell over when I saw the price tag of $8. I didn't mull it over for even a second! I'll prop it up and stare at it daily and see what happens.

This is amazing... What a great mix of "stuff" he is! I love his 'do and his little eyebrows. Very cool!

Re: Heir-Loom

Jim, what a great idea! I had one of those looms when I was a kid...now I wish I still had it. Looks perfect with that photo.

Re: Witch Hazel Barrel Top Table

What a great table and a lucky find... the colors and graphics are beautiful. I just acquired an iron birdbath base I want to make a table out of - I'd love to find a treasure like this!

Re: Great Crates

Love this! The sleek glass on top of the weathered crates is awesome; the basket of (bocci, croquet?) balls is a cool touch. You must have the most colorful junk collection of any of us!

Re: Blossom

This is very cool... great design!

Re: The Prison Door-- Chapter 1

This is great - I love that piece of cardboard! The whole thing works... beautiful.

What a cool work space...if that alien dude isn't inspiring, I don't know what is! I would love to have a spot like that - I'm still trying to figure out how to turn a very bland apartment bedroom into my junk lab. This is great inspiration...

Re: Push Lawnmower Lamp

I love this! What a cool idea. This site is dangerous, every single day I add something to my "hunt for" list, now an old lawnmower is on it.

Re: "Give" for Kelsey

Wonderful piece - I love the contrast of the delicate ceramic hands against the weathered grate. I'm always on the hunt for 'extra hands' - haven't been this lucky yet!

Wow, I'd love to find a piece like that, looks great! I like the paper under the glass, nice touch.

Re: Winter White Garden -- Piano Roll Challenge

Wow, great ideas - a luminary is a perfect use for a piano roll. I would have had no patience whatsoever trying to shape those things into roses!

Re: Kitchen Redo

That is absolutely great, it's turning out beautiful - beadboard is one of my favorites, I had no idea they made wallpaper like that - think of all the possibilities. Great job!

Re: "Record" setting transformation...

What an awesome, interesting piece - 1,001 uses! Love the colors of the plates with the rust. I hope I find something that cool when junk season starts. Someone told me a good way to clean/preserve rusty stuff is to use linseed oil. Have any of you done that?

Very cool... love the driftwood on top, too.

Awesome piece.. I agree that he looks great as is, I don't think paint could improve on that great weathered/rusted look.

Thank you all for the great welcome, I love this site! As far as the patina, I used blue & green solutions from Modern Options over metallic paint.
