Old Hardware Store Counter

For those of you who were lucky enough to see this beauty in person.....you got a treat.  If you didn't see it in my shop and you didn't see it at this summer's Barn House sale then you REALLY missed out.  It was a vintage hardware store counter that was the most wonderful piece I have had.  The patina was exceptional, the cubby holes were actually a size that you could use and the color, oh the color.  A beautiful green.  My point to all of this is that even a piece like this can be used for many different things around your home.  Don't be afraid of size.  This one was purchased and the gentleman is now using it as a storage unit in his garage.  When you are out looking for goodies and you run across a piece that is soooo special that you can't pass it up, just look at the piece with different eyes.  Open your mind to different uses other than its intended one.  If you love it, you'll make it work.  Happy hunting.....
