I love it! What a fantastic way to use the old fountain.

@plantmanager It is a great feeling when you can think of repurposing something instead of throwing it away.

I've been away as usually so what fun to come back to all these clever ideas!

Love the cement mixer . . . I would leave it natural too.

And those broken up pots are so fun!

We also try to do that all the time. Sometimes our ideas turn out well. Your fountain was a super idea!

Rosie - thank you so much for all the cool photo's and ideas you post.

You are welcome and I hope everyone enjoys.
I do!!

@rocklady
Jean I love it and that lion is so masculine! perfect filler too

How's this for a "fan..tastic idea
I had a broken fan so I kept the cage part knowing that I would figure out something.....one day.... Well someday happened and this is what I came up with. I did this last year



This year I painted them copper. I like them better this way.



So simple.... Just add chain! I picked mine up, a replacement chain for about $2.50 or so.

Very nice!!!!!!

Thx

FANtastic indeed and guess what - I just threw a fan away in the recycle bin. This would have been a perfect option for it. Great Idea!

Ha! That's a good one... --- realky COOL...it should CIRCULATE....😆

I need something like that on the screened porch where we are short on floor space.
I could put my citronella candle on it, my crosswords, my garden book... those small tables get in my sweeping way!

So many possibilities lol

I put fan covers over newly planted seeds to keep the birds from feasting on the sprouts. katie

Great idea too. I love it, and hate that I've given away and thrown away a few fans. Now I need to find some at the thrifts!

That's a great idea katiebear!!

You won't be able to find a broken fan around for a country mile with all these FANtastic ideas!!

But maybe there aren't too many DIYers in my area.

Hey all, I have some whisks, small medium and large, two of each. They were a housewarming gift many years ago. I never use them because two parts rust and they stain my sink. Anyway, I've been trying to think of what to do with them or make with them.
Y'all are so creative....can you think of anything?
