While this double shelf of antique wrought iron is perfect for any garden, sun porch or patio - what a great addition to a kitchen as a whimsical "baker's rack"! Gather some apothecary jars and fill with different dried pastas for a great display of textures and colors. Or get multi-sized canning jars and fill with various dried beans, corn kernels ready to pop - and throw in a couple jars of dog biscuits for your puppy, of course!

Utilize a can of spray paint and instantly transform the rack into a novel antique green, a sophisticated black for contrast, a soft yellow for the lighter side of color and tones, or a great cherry red for wonderful pop!

Wonderful double pot antique wrought iron planters are perfect for any home entrance, garden entrance or pool entrance. They have beautiful character and presence.

So how about bringing this character and presence indoors? Use the double pot planter in the baby's nursery for a fun and out of the ordinary diaper, towel and stuffed animal haven. Escape the drab nursery elements which end up becoming disposable over time. When nursery time is over, then the planter becomes perfect to move outdoors! Quick spray paint can also transform the piece easily and affordably!

First, these mid-height antique iron planters are gorgeous for the outdoors. The basket form has a beautiful iron twist that makes it quite unique and special. Plus, the size makes them easily movable to so many locations around your home, porch, patio and pool.

What I love about these two "basket" planters is that they would be show-stopping on a great Harvest Table for a special event or stylish dinner with friends. As centerpieces, start with some hanging spanish moss and generously fill the base of the basket. Incorporate aged, weathered terra cot pots with your favorite floral or greenery and surround with more draping spanish moss. Viola, table centerpieces!

This short antique green trellis is as sweet as can be and ideal for the smaller, more delicate vines.

Yet, this trellis could be great indoors in a couple of ways. Have a blank wall? Even garden wall or side of a garage? Hang this trellis as a wall accent. Grab little butterfly and bee embellishments from the local craft store and it comes to life!

Or, place in a child's playroom. Use wooden clothes pins and the trellis becomes a great tool to hang and display precious drawings for the emerging artists!

These antique green wrought iron standing garden planters are beautiful in their soft petal design.

Do you have a guest bathroom - or child's bath - that you would like to add some whimsy? Roll fresh towels and abundantly place them in the pot area on top. On the petal shelf below, place an antique bowl and fill with found shells, artisan made soaps or a couple of old books.

These wrought iron shelves, circa 1950's, have glass shelves which make then ideal for outdoor and indoor use. They have nice height with ideal depth for a varying size of pots.

Use them in a sun room year round, in a laundry room, mud room or kitchen. Equally, the glass shelves lend them to perfect use for a child's room or bath.

Transform the character with color and any room is brighter with the presence of these shelves. Again, just a single can of spray paint makes it easy and affordable.
