The color of rust

The snow has melted and look what I found.

I am attracted to all things rusty.

These poor neglected treasures.

They call out to me... take me home and make me new again.



Some may see this as junk.

Should I paint?

Should I leave them as is?

If I paint...what color? White, black, red, green?

Rust is a color...right?

This is one of the dilemmas that I have been pondering all winter.

As I have been relaxing in my den.

Now with the change of seasons, brings the the sunshine, the energy, and the time to put all of these projects on the agenda.

Oh...but the possibilities are endless.

Hi Connie,
The more rust and crust the better. Love it left natural. That chandelier is beautiful, love it!

Rust is wonderful, Connie!!! And it's not really "rust", is it? It's patina - much fancier word for plain ole rust! So glad you've thawed out and are able to to be up and out cruising the sales! I'm looking foward to seeing what goodies you come up with!
