IRON: Ugly to Fabulous

Lost my head in envy seeing ugly Ranch Burger iron welded (why didn't I think of this?) into fabulous gates, below.


AND they are flanked with a pair of heterosexual

statues.





Gates, statues? Where do they lead?
DAHhhhhhhhhhhLINGS, last week

I entered the gates to the promised land, above. In Birmingham, AL.

Each piece sourced from around the globe........more later. Ta ta, tootles. Must draw a landscape design this morning.

  1. Heaven knows I love places like that. It's got Saturday morning written all over it. I used to spend many a saturday AM searching reclaim yards and architectural antiques back in the UK.

  2. I love the ranch home iron stuff (what is called.lol) Brain is working over the idea...don't need gate, surely I could use this somewhere else. Thanks for the inspiration, as always ;0)

  9. I'm not sure if it's humanly possible to be more jealous than I am right now. We have absolutely nothing like that here. Any kind of salvage shop has for a prefix "snowmachine" or "ATV."
