A little while ago I found four solid timber legs at a Garage Sale, I thought they would be perfect for Tony to use as legs for his furnitue, well what do you know when I got them home they where all different, isn't it funny how you get so excited when you find something interesting you don't stop and think of the obvious as in this case are the legs matching?
I do remember the Man selling them saying he was in a Wood Working Club, he's probably made these as samples.....what to do with ONE single Architectural Leg??
Paint it Pink of course!
Turn it upside down and Paint a Rose on the front base section
Hmmmmm....see the very top little bit which was once the bottom it's about 25mm in dia. what do you think, maybe some sort of base nailed to the top to use it as a candle pillar or just leave it as is.....I guess it's up to the new owner or up to me if it doesn't sell, I'd still love to hear your ideas as don't forget I have another three to work on
Thanks for coming over to visit.
Hope you're all well and I look forward to hearing any inspiring ideas
Thanks also for the advise on the camera's, it gives me something to work on

Those are so nice and would be very pretty as is. However, I think I would attach a base and use it make some little bit stand out. Like a candle or a pretty white pumpkin at Halloween time, a bird nest in the spring, a pretty angel at Christmas and so on.

Hi Gail, I like what you did. I did laugh when you said you got so excited that you didn't realise they were all different...something I would easily do! I think a candle on top would look good or would be a great spot to hang necklaces?
What gorgeous legs you have Gail!! I love the makeover you have given them and I think that they would be divine as tiny bird tables it they had a platform on top to let little birdies feed or to put an ornamental bird cage......the possiblities are endless, if you have a creative, clever working with wood husband....

Hi Gail, I love how you have it displayed with the roses around it. It would look fabulous with a candle on it too!

Looks gorgious after you had painted it!! The rose is just beautiful! :-) Could be used as a lamp foot! :-)

I love the leg as is Gail - sitting in the garden as garden art. Perfect for a bland spot without anything flowering.

It looks lovely! I like the pink and the rose that you put on it. :)
I love it Gail.Made me laugh when you realised they were all diffrent.That's something I would do!Will have to get some more prints of you again,have sold the last lot already! xx Lucinda
Hey Gail! Oh dear - sound like there are a few of us (I include myself!!) who would buy first, excited by a 'treasure' then later realise they don't match! Oops! Mind you ... the one you've painted looks pretty special!! Perhaps you could attach a terra cotta pot saucer to the top and make it a bird feeder, or even sit a pretty pot on it with a weeping type plant, or even a round MDF base to mosaic over ... or .. oh! So many possibilities! Tee! Hee! Hee! Can't wait to see what you decide to do! Bear Hugs! KRIS

Gail, this is lovely and simply elegant. I think it is perfect for indoor or outside in the garden.

Thanks for coming by my blog! I've heard about those terrible wildfires over in the outback. I wish I had an ounce of your talent. That post is beautiful!
I love what you did with the leg...it's beautiful. I wish I could paint beautiful roses like that! I have done the same thing at tag sales...but then you can use your imagination to create something unique...just as you did!
Hugs

Hello Gail.
We love your blog too! Please do drop in the next time that you're down this way and say hello!
Leonie and Monique
That was my first thought yes, pink or white!
Accomplished and lovely. Now find a nicely shaped wooden bowl, paint it and put a rose on it. Screw one into the other for a fabulous key bowl or letter drop dish.. candy...bird feed outdoors.. endless.
What a pity that they weren't all the same, they would have made a fab table! I would still use a least one to make a pedestal table. Peta xx
Absolutely beautiful!! Another wonderful pice of art!

Hi Gail...just stopped by to say hi.
Also, I told my daughter, Joei about Gus and how cute he is. I told her that he reminds me of Chloe, her bullie...she wanted to see him. She agrees with me...he is ADORABLE! His face is angelic!
Have a wonderful weekend.

I was just thinking about you earlier tonight and I just sat down to check my email before bed and there's a comment from you!!! I've been so busy an it's been far too long since I visited your blog!!
I love that leg/post! I think it looks great as is!
It's after midnight here and I'm tired so I'll be back another day to check up on everything I missed!
Hi Gail,
Oh I love this and can see it used for so many different things but I think it would look lovely with some old vintage rhinestones necklets hanging over the top of it.

Hi Gail,
Absolutely beautiful! I think it's perfect like it is - would look lovely on a mantle.
It's always awesome visiting and seeing all of your fabulous creations!
Hope you have a wonderful week.
Blessings,
Sandy
All I can say is....FABULOUS.....love it....
Hugs,

Sometimes, I turn posts sideways and use them over doorways. Lokks suoer in pink, of course.
Mmmmmmmmm.......I'm so enjoying your lovely paintings. They're so very sweet. And, your little Gus is just too cute.......my Pup is 1/4 English, but she looks nothing like it.......
Warm regards,
Spencer
