canadian living magazine (sept '07 issue) had some fresh ideas with curbside finds to create affordable home accessories. with the tin pattern painted trays (above) creating a collage on the wall which could also be used to hold magnets for holding poems, notes and photos. (or even a vintage cookie tin lid could be used like the black one with the rose in the center here). the pink one was painted after cleaning with tsp, lightly sanded and primed.
finials mounted onto an open shelf at one or both ends to create bookends. a smaller decorative one could be screwed near the back edge to support a plate or platter.
a collection of vintage door and drawer knobs mounted on the bottom of a curvy wooden backboard make strong pegs for a coat rack.
