How Do Take this Rusty, Crusty Pitcher and Make it Elegant?

I'm just a junkie.
There's just no other word for it.


I love the rusty, crusty
but I declare I have no idea how to make it elegant.
In my home it looks like JUNK.


And still I want to take this barn door and make it work.
I really do.
I could make it work in the right house.
I just need a farmhouse.

Why did it take me 50 years to appreciate
the character of the old.

The watering can, I think I can work with.
I'm going back and get it this weekend if it's still there.

  2. I feel the same way about the old rusty stuff. Your little enamel piece will look lovely with a fresh bouquet in it :)))

  4. You make me laugh Bonnie! :)
    I would use the pitcher for those lovely country looking velvet like flowers. And that door would make a great coat and hat rack. You can get some pretty neat knobs and hooks, especially at Hobby Lobby.
    It was good to come for a visit. I have come back to the community in our little blog world. :) My healing from surgery went very well. Now the other knee. :)

    Blessings, Debbie

  6. I think you do a great job of putting together old things and making a beautiful setting with them. I bet we'll soon see pictures of how you did it with these things. I wish I had your skills!

  8. You are such a girl (notice I calle you a girl) after my own heart! I also have a collection of enamelware...some of it is usable for cooking and some of it is rusty and crusty...I love it all! Sit that puppy on a tray (or hang it up) with some wildflowers in it...if it doesn't hold water, get some pretty fake ones :) I have actually patched small holes with J-B Weld...works like a charm!

  11. I'm sure you'll come up with something artistic. You look at it, and see a project. I look at it, and want to sell it. *lol* Funny how we're all different.
    Hope y'all are having a splendid day. ~:)

  15. I love all my enamelware pieces so I love that pitcher! It just wants some country flowers to make it complete. I have an old barn door and hope to make it into a coat/hat rack. Someday.
    Farmhouse hugs!
