Bought this at a flea market but have no idea what to do with it! It measures 12" deep, 22" wide, 12"front to back. I thought about lining it with a plastic bag and storing blankets in it, but I'm hoping for some better ideas. Thank you!

If you have a wood burning fireplace it is a nice place to hold extra wood for the fireplace...OR use it in the bathroom to hold your clean towels.

I think it would look stunning hanging on a wall as a shelf. Perhaps add a piece of wood across the width to create an extra shelf. That way you'll have double the space.

Thank you! How would I fasten a shelf inside of it, though? Can you tell that I'm new at this? 😊

I love this copper container. I think I would love to either use it as the above poster stated, as a kindling holder if you have a fireplace. But I think I would really love to incorporate it into one of my gardens as part of a fountain like small pond, a planter. It's really too deep for a birdbath but gosh, I love it. Coming up blank w/other ideas at the moment. Something will occur to me later. I have things I purchased at thrift stores years ago (back in the day when I could afford to pick up odds and ends thinking I would find a use for them some day. I usually always find a use for nifty items, sometimes it just takes years for the opportunity and/or idea to hit.

I like the bathroom towel idea also and if my bathroom was big enough... Oh, how about a vintage looking indoor/outdoor fairy garden?
