For the Love of Rusty and Crusty
Rusty and Crusty? Are you saying to yourself “I know it’s a design trend, but how would I put anything like that in my house??” We are here to help inspire you with a few creative ideas.
Consider these possibilities for adding great vintage or antique metal pieces to your home décor:
- Hang it on the wall.
Windmill blades, ceiling tins, architectural pieces, miscellaneous auto parts, water pails - it all can look like art when it is displayed well.
Who wouldn’t LOVE this display of rusty and crusty metal and wood pieces on their wall? Incorporate pieces like these with your family photos for a very personal display.
2). Keep it small.
How about vintage watering cans on a windowsill or corbels with chippy paint on the mantle or a bookshelf?
3) Still can’t put it in the house? Then look outside… your garden, patio and front porch are perfect spots for antique metal décor.
This adorable weather vane is the perfect accent for any area of your garden or landscaping.
These rusty metal street signs would look great either mounted to a pole and placed on a garden path or resting on top of a porch rail.
Put this antique cast iron heater on the patio and add some happy hostas or brightly colored geraniums in and around the opening – the leafy greens and colorful flowers will make a striking display with the vintage white metal surround
