Quirky flea-market finds become interesting decorating opportunities when you put your imagination to work. Repurpose antiques, collectibles and architectural salvage to make a one-of-a-kind statement. Kick-start your creativity by asking a few questions about your find: Can it work as a container? Would it work as art? Where could it fit in your home? Check out our ideas on how to use some treasures we found, from kitchen items to toys:
1. A tin bread box (left) makes a unique vase or plant pot (just line it so it doesn't rust--and punch a drain hole), or it can organize your recipes inside.
2. A rusty stove becomes an indoor-outdoor plant holder with potted geraniums in the burner holes.
I found a beautiful 7' beveled glass headboard that I 'converted' into a headboard and both my husband and I just love it. One problem, I'm not sure how to attach it to the wall/bed. We have and antique cedar chest at the end of the bed that we use for 'support'. Can you help me solve this problem? Thanks, Ellen Cyr
