Before I move on to my newest finds, though, I have to finish a great little project I'm working on for my son's birthday. What do you get a 24-year-old graduate student who's taken up cooking and repurposing vintage furniture? Well, you'll see after Sam's birthday in October. Don't want to spoil his surprise.
So, here are a very few of my recent finds. And, while my vision for each isn't yet fully formed, I'm certain each is destined for makeover greatness.
These rusty, vintage industrial pulleys are, in a word, SWEET! Kinda steampunk-y. Sam has dibs on the two on the right. He has his own ideas for repurposing those bad boys. Because he lives two states away, he'll have to come pick them up. I'm not mailing these heavy suckers.
I think I know what I want to do with the vintage brass mailbox that is now a perfectly aged verdigre and the newer, but charming, hinged fireplace matchbox.
What would you do with these beauties? Send a comment to share your ideas.
The fact that both boxes sport lion heads was purely coincidental. I really wasn't going for a theme. The lion head on the mailbox is particularly nice. And I love that the mailbox has the hooks underneath for holding a newspaper. Those will be fun to incorporate into the redo!
Stay tuned for the transformations.

Ann, if you didn't already have the hinged box I would have suggested kindling and a round box of matches for underneath, the other mail box. But what is really sweet is your son, just the kind of guy I'd like my daughter to meet, well educated, likes cooking and antiques. Thanks so much for stopping by our blog, I became a follower. Laura
