While visiting my family in New Mexico last month,
I was taking photos around my sister’s home and
found this HUGE old, rusty nut-looking thing in the field behind her house.

I had no idea what I would do with it,
but when you find a cool, old piece of rusty junk,
you just can’t leave it in the dirt, can you?
Well, I can’t anyway!
While rooting around in my workshop the
other day, I noticed that I had several glass
lamp shades that didn’t have bases to go with them,
so I put them together!
I’m trying to get up the nerve to bring it in the house,
and put it on the kitchen table, but my family already
speculates I’m a little nuts…this should thoroughly convince them.
Blessings,
Angie

I just love the textures in that photo! Beautiful!
Oh bring it in….they think you are nuts already…so what is one more rusty item!! Amazing that they fit together!!
this is fabulous!!
bring it in and spread the joy!!!
I don’t think you are Nuts … I like it and think you have a good eye for re-purposing. Your family, like my husband should be used to us ‘nutty’ people by now.

Great way to light up that nut!
Cute blog! I’m a new follower and would love if you followed back at http://www.iheartpears.blogspot.com
Well I must be nuts for nuts, because this is a really cool idea — I’d definitely not just bring it in but put it in a prominent spot!
I totally think you should bring it into the house! My family thinks I’m a little nuts too but I wouldn’t want to confuse them by suddenly acting normal. LOL! I think it is super cool and clever and we appreciate you sharing this with us at Inspiration Friday!

Brilliant solution! It looks great – so glad I stopped in on Inspiration Friday.
OMG, I love it! The dainty shade with the rusty nut, pure elegance!! Bring it in the house!!!
i think it’s great!
Your family won’t think you’re nut. They will think you are totally creative and they will be in awe.
Definitely take it in for display, Angie! The uniqueness of it just says that you’re showing your individuality. Who could fault you for that? I told you I grew up in New Mexico, didn’t I? Where does your family live? 🙂 Sue
