Tickled With My Trellis

Can you see my trellis?

No?  
How about here?

Let's try a closeup- still not good!  The woodland background just eats it up.... 

Okay I decided to try another location and now it shows up much better with the garage behind it. Yay!

This whole project got started when Dan reminded me I had the trellis stored in the barn.  He brought it out to show me and I became inspired to turn it into something whimsical.  I remembered seeing some metal garden pieces in the MacKenzie Childs catalog that gave some inspiration.

I lucked out on a weekend shopping venture and found two wind chimes with a cast bells and mini watering cans and I knew that they were just what I wanted.  I had Dan take them apart and create a new hanger for each piece.  The trellis got a new paint job and the wind chime pieces were painted to match.  It's actually all black but the sun seems to be causing it to look bronze.

I've owned the trellis for over 15 years but it had pretty much been forgotten about in the storage barn.  I'm tickled we brought it back out and I am getting a chance to use it again!
Re-purposing- yeah baby yeah!

  4. Ramon and I both are sitting here in the car dealership waiting for my car to be serviced, and we're admiring your grounds. A couple of other customers joined in the conversation and are raving!!!!! See? Your a hit!!! Of course, I already knew that, but I thought you'd like to know that you're a celebrity here in the dealership waiting room!!! 🌹🌸🌺🌷🌼
