What can I do with this? pip

I was cleaning out the garage and I came across this. I don't know where I got it. It's about 1 1/2 feet high. The top is hinged in the back so that it opens.

 I thought about cleaning it up and maybe spraypainting it and putting it in the sunroom/breakfast room. What could I put in it? A plant (what kind?)  Candles? I know there is something cute I can do with it!

  • Plants would be my first suggestion.  It is super cute!

    What kind of plant? And if I put a plant in it, should I leave the top open?

    I would probably do a group of indoor plants (I have no idea which ones though).

    Is it glass?  If it is, then I would keep the top open.

    No, it's not glass.

  • I would do a collection of candles and maybe a little ivy/fern type plant to fill it in.  Go fake and you don't have to worry about leaving it open!

    Ivy would be cute. It's all open with no glass, so I wouldn't have to leave teh top open.

    Well thats even better! You could probably get a little ivy plant and it would slowly creep around the edges.  You could train it in between some of the bars. 

    Love ivy and candles.

  • I agree, ivy would look pretty neat inside that. And if you wanted to add candles to it, Target has some realistic looking battery powered ones. So much so that I thought my cousin was about to burn her hair on one my grandma had.
