this weekend's theme

~ vintage hardware ~

One of my all time favorite things to collect is old, beat up rusty vintage hardware.

Hooks, hinges, doorknobs, locks, bolts, anything's game.

And then I start to play. :)
 

 Hmmm... yummy. :)



An old barn gate plus odds and sods of hardware becomes:

• an instant coat hook area
• a towel bar for the bathroom
• towel holder for beside an outdoor pool
• a clothes changing area for the bedroom 

And how about that cool pic thing for a calendar on a string?

Here are a few older projects I've also added old hardware to:

 

The hinges and hook that were added to this shutter made the project appear that much more authentic.

This collection of what everss added to this Farmers Market sign helped to make a normally flat sign a little more interesting AND productive.

Not sure how old these brackets were, however they sure added a little fun bling to this grocery sign.

What to do with a buncha big ol' greasy bolts? Drill holes and plunk them in for added detail to a desk top. :)

I think I've proven my point. Old hardware is so much more interesting than anything you buy brand new, don't you think?

Link up your vintage hardware projects up in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup!
