    I had this old coat rack... like this one..

    http://www.art-ic.co.uk/white-cottage-images/bentwood-coat-stand-mahogany.jpg

    I kept refusing to just toss it, knowing that there HAD to be SOMETHING I could do with it... (it was a curb aquisition to start with!).... so, since we're trying to pare down the 'stuff' so we can build the new barn/shed, DH said I could keep it IF he could change it a little... so I had to say ok......... here's what he did!!...gonna have to cook that man a steak tonight!!!.. *smile*............

    Hey, he's a handy guy to have around. Wink I love what you did with that. I was too tired this year to "scavange" when we had our curbside pickup this past Sat. I love seeing yard art ideas.

    Now tell him to get his "brains working" on what he/you can use the rest of the coatrack for. LOL! Hanging a collection of small birdhouses on;like an outdoor birdhouse mobile? Or a small flagpole for 4th. of July.

    Now that is a great "repurpose". I have one of those old floor lamps without any of the electrical components and am trying to figure out how to make and attach an arm for it to hold a hanging candolier. Any ponderings would be welcome.
