Now that's just plain cool...







I love finding new uses for great old classic pieces. These ideas are fantastic! I found these while perusing the HGTV website and knew I had to share them with you. So many times something will just "speak" to you but you don't know what to do with it? How about those wonderful vintage Christmas stands you see in every antique shop this time of year? Check out these ideas and photos. First is a cake, plant or anything you want to elevate stand. Simply cut a decorative wood curtain rod to fit the hole and attach a wood plate to the top!






Second is as a great candle holder, tapers, pillars, any will work depending on what size tree stand you find.


Third is to make it into a great lamp! Add a shade and another decorative curtain rod and voila!How fun is that? If you are not electrical savvy ask us and we can refer to our favorite lamp guy.
