Love the look of this vignette. It's got Industrial, contemporary and a little bit of chippiness.
So I forgot to take a before picture...my bad! But it was just the cart when I purchased it. I bought the pipes and flanges at the hardward store so I could add another facet to the piece.
It had great patina, but was REALLY dirty. A little clean-up and some poly, and it looks awesome!
With the pipes and flantes added....
...the glass can sit on top.
Now comes the love part. This year I celebrated a milestone anniversary...30 years with the same amazing man! So in honor of that I did a little vignette. This vintage bride and groom are featured under one of my many cloches.
These scale weights under another cloche represent the wedding cake which sits on top of a mini cake stand.
The clock represents our timeless love.
This vintage scale is set at 30 for our 30 years together.
It certainly takes a lot of love, grace and understanding to stay married for 30 years.
And the little shoes? They were just so darn cute! Or maybe they just signify the two children that came after. One is now almost 25 and one is 22. Where has the time gone!
And here's the finished piece!

I purchased this amazing green cart a few years back, but it has been just sitting in my garage collecting dust. I finally got around to doing something with it and knew I wanted to add glass to it. It already had the slots on the four corners a piece of pipe would fit into. With a flange added to the top of each pipe, a piece of glass could easily rest on top. My piece certainly seems to have all come together! I hope you lke it as much as I do!
