It called my name as soon as I saw it.
I love it's character...
gouges...
gouges...
dents...
flicks of missing paint...

oh, speaking of the paint color...
it is a close match to some other blue pieces that I have in my home.
I asked the lady, 'what is this made from'?
She informed me that it's from an old cable reel.
(like these)
How neat!
Since I didn't actually do this re-purpose, I can only guess how it was done...
Looks like someone took the 'spool' out of the middle and put slats all around, attaching the top and the bottom.

I don't know exactly what I'm going to do with it.
Maybe a plant stand.
Maybe an end table between two chairs.
All I did to this piece was clean it with a damp cloth!
How's that for Trash to Treasure.

And the best part?
It only cost $2!
Yes, two dollars!
I didn't even negotiate ;-)
Maybe I'll see you at a yard sale,

Looks like you could use it anywhere. Outdoors or bathroom too. Great find!

I love the idea of using it outside...maybe if we ever get our deck built ;-)
DeleteIt's beautiful, LL! You know already I love the color! Very cool find, indeed and for two dollars what a deal! Hope you are having a great week! =) ~CB
ReplyDeleteI also love re-purposing objects and I think you've certainly got a bargain there! It looks like it was made for the trailing plant, the green really sets off the colour of the table.
ReplyDeleteOooh, what a find! So many possibilities! Enjoy your treasure!
ReplyDeleteWhat a deal! I love the color, too.
