What Would You Do? (Vintage Chicken Feeder!)

Do you ever see something at an antique store that you pass up and then it haunts you?  Seriously, I think I had a dream about it.

This lovely was at an antique mall that I love...American Classics Marketplace in Colorado Springs.  It was in the "warehouse" section.  It was in a little, cram-packed booth.  It was a miracle that I found it again!  But I did and now it's mine!

And I don't know what to do with it =)

There's this cute idea... from conceptfurnishings on Etsy.

And this from http://mysalvagedtreasures.blogspot.com
Or I could get one of these....
I could do this, but I only have one.  (Read her blog!  So cute! http://bucketsofburlap.blogspot.com/2010/06/chicken-feeders.html )

Finally...there's this sweet project from http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/15326/dont-be-chicken-nightlight

I was thinking about hanging "S" hooks across it, horizontally---a jewelry organizer? coat rack? key rack? I haven't settled on anything yet and welcome your input!

  1. I think I'd go with an herb garden! Wish I could go wandering antique stores with you!

  2. I love the color of your feeder!! There are so many clever ideas on what to do with it. My favorite is the one with the glass vials and single stems. Have fun transforming yours! :)
