Fab and Pretty on Jul 13, 2015As for uses...well fruit,potatoes and onions,a couple of rolled up lap blankets in the family room,do you knit...balls of yarn,mittens at the front door in the winter,toilet paper,Guest Towels a nice refinishing idea...there are so many cool french country idea's. You could paint it out white bottom, black top and a cool french transfer on the outer sides maybe even the inside.....Helpful Reply

Jill Cannon on Jul 13, 2015You could try stacking some cute throws/blankets in it, which would be especially cozy looking for fall and winter. Or like you said, set it outdoors and use it as a planter.Helpful Reply

AmericanWoman on Jul 13, 2015I think Jill Cannon has a great idea. You could paint the base if you wanted to. But I like to paint nearly everything.Helpful Reply

Christine on Jul 13, 2015Continuing along the lines of Jill's comment. .. paint it a fun color and use it as a magazine or towel/soap/shampoo, etc. holder in a guest bathroom or bedroom. Or, fill it with fresh pine branches and pine cones, etc. for a fragrant Christmas decoration.Helpful Reply

Ella Greene on Jul 14, 2015I have one of these,,but it would seem too heavy for most things. I like the painting different colors for top and underneath..still holding on to mine. Its a brass color, and I have set it on or near the hearth with lots of glittered cones in the fall-winter..but my two cats just have the cones all over everything! :) Stepping on a cone at night is not fun. Tried styro Christmas balls and they had a 'ball' with that idea!Helpful Reply

Gail Sisson on Jul 14, 2015I would make an arrangement of dried flowers in it and place in in front of the fire place. You could change the arrangement with the season change and it would be lovely for Xmas you could fill it with pine cones and tinsel or birch tree branches and spray it with artificial snow and maybe put in a couple of handmade snowmen or gingerbread men or even candy canes. Oh the possibilities are endless good luckHelpful Reply
