Carol on Jan 13, 2014You could turn it into a great planter. I can also envision it holding a pitcher and bowl set. Good luck and let us all know what you did.Helpful Reply

Cynthia E on Jan 13, 2014- You could turn it into a bar, remote, phone etc. storage or small electronics charging system by wiring in docks with small area or shelf to sit on. (google globe bars) by cutting globe in 1/2 and putting hinges, you could also drill hole in bottom feed in bulb light or strand lights and then cut out around continents (not fully --kinda like a stencil) or pierce around them for light to shine through.. gl and post here when you finish so we can see what you did and don't miss..Helpful Reply

Kelly S on Jan 13, 2014New globe bars that look old run over $300 for a small one. Modge Podge family pictures on it so that no matter how it sits you always are looking at someone you love. Ohh old love letters on the outside with a light inside.Helpful Reply

Sfg178760 on Jan 14, 2014Globes are big right now. Are you thinking of selling it or using it in your own home. If it is to sell...I may leave as is...or paint that quite substantive base in a more shabby chic way. Some examples: http://www.landerandmay.com/charles-dien.html , https://www.etsy.com/listing/157915723/vintage-plant-stand-wrought-iron-garden?ref=market If for sale...I would be awesome to be displayed as a bar with pressed/cut glass clear glass liquor bottles and a vintage martini set! Hope this helps!Helpful Reply
