Ever have those times when your creative juices are just lacking? That's been me lately. I go through periods where I feel crazy inspired and have dreams of completing umpteen projects, but then life with kids happens and maybe one of them gets done. Anyways, I digress.
I found this cute little metal, storage bin, cubby hole, thingy-ma-bob at a yard sale for $1. (Please excuse the overgrown grass, our mower is taking a vacation from life apparantly)
Anything red and metal always makes my heart beat a little faster. So I bought it without any purpose in mind for it, just figured I love it so I'll find some use for it. Problem is......so far I haven't. Just not feeling it. The previous owners used it as a shoe holder....in their closet! They hid away it's vintage beauty in a closet! I have bigger plans for it. No wait, I don't really, because I can't figure out what to do with it!
I bought it with my kitchen in mind, because that room has a very Vintage-y vibe with lots of red and yellow. I'd like it to have some measure of functionality, and not just be completely decorative.
But I don't want it to be purely functional either, as in, I don't want to display all my canned goods in it.
So, for now it's sort of an after thought, sitting in this neglected corner of my kitchen with a leftover Fall arrangement plunked on top.
So...what would you do with it? Please help me get my creativeness functioning again.

What size are the openings? and over all size?
ReplyDeleteI have several vintage locker baskets, and I am going to group mine together and hang them on the wall in our entry, above a bench. Maybe you could do something similar?
