What on earth would you do with a small drawer thingy with a cage that you can't even open?
I mean, really.
I saw this thing in a 2nd hand shop.
It was ugly.
Painted gold and aged in a really tasteless mass produced authentic made in china antique kind of way.
Yet I bought it anyway. Says a lot about me, doesn't it?
To be fair, it was part of a 'how much would you take for the lot' kind of deal.
There was something about it. Something I couldn't put my finger on... maybe the dust, or the faux finish...
Anyway, got it home, brushed it off, gave it a wash, then proved the well known saying in DIY-blogland: everything looks better painted white.
So, it does look better. Doesn't it?
Pretty.
Still quite as useless though.
Unless you only have 2 rings you need to store.
Which I don't.
.... I have no idea what I'll use it for... then again, give it a few months of sitting on a shelf and I'll find something.

Hello from Canada Zefi! Your whatchamacallit shelf thingy looks so awesome! I probably would have bought it too because it's unusual in that 'only a thrifter could love it kind of way'. lol. Found you through the Newbie party and am your newest GFC follower.

Hi Zefi. Your cupid cage certainly is ugly anymore. You could use this an many V-day vignettes. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have so much work to do to this house before I can make nice vignetttes! What I miss is having a fireplace with a mantel! We only have a freestanding wood heater here and I miss my mantel! In my old house I had 2 fireplaces. Lots of opportunity for decorating. :)
