Upcycled House Number Sign
I use a small nail keg to hold my recycling newspapers, when it gets full, take a trip to the recycling bins!
My parents use half of a barrel as a flower planter near their front door. They attached their house number to it and then plant a variety of colorful flowers in all different heights.
How big is the barrel? I saw on Flea Market Flip where they cut one in half, added shelves and made a bar. Super cute and fitting if it was an alcohol barrel to begin with.
They make great chairs too. Cut out about a third of it about half way down , istall a piece of wood for the seat, find an interesting piece of fabric for a seat pillow and there you have it.
