Fun Find, Metal Architectural Sconces




DH and I went for a drive on Sunday, and just happened upon one of my favorite antique shops, just as they opened. I love this place because they always have lots of architectural stuff. It's usually priced so that I can only buy for myself and not for resale.

When I found these wonderful metal architectural pieces I just had to get a couple

They would be great window boxes just as they are. You see the tops are open.
After examining them at home I realized that they come apart with just a little encouragement.


So now I have 6 of these corbel or sconces. I'm keeping 2 of them for myself of course.


They now flank each side of my hutch

These are fun as you could also add a piece of wood to the top and it becomes a small shelf.


For now I'm going to leave them open at the top for dried flowers.

Margo, those are awesome. I would probably have no clue what to do with them. You are so creative. Keep creating and by the way your room looks great. Blessings, Marta.

My brother gave me some pieces like these years ago and I have been trying to figure out what to do with them- now I know!! Thanks!

Margo - I sure like those on the wall on either side of your hutch. Speaking of which - the whole wall looks really great - I like how you've got all your junk arranged there.
