Trough Play

I was so sure that this old trough would look great on my harvest table. I stacked it on top of the marble on the cotton sack. Look.

No need to get excited about filling it with anything. It's wrong. So, then I did this.

Huh uh. Not good at all. This trough was not meant to be on this table in this room.
Let's try this from a different angle. I upended it and tried this.

Not bad. But, then I tried this.

This is my favorite.

Did you see what lulu redstar suggested? She said to "flip it over, put holes in the rounded part and hang it up as a super cool hanging fixture!" Wow! Wouldn't that look amazing hanging over the harvest table? Now...who do I know that does lighting? hmmm

What would you do with it?

Happy Thursday!
