A Rake isn't Just for Raking!
In one of my previous post, I gave you a hint what project was going to be next,the hint was raking, well, thathas been was put on hold for a bit...Mr. OMT thought going fishing was more important..Hmmm, how dare him hold up a diy projects for fishing...lol. Since we like to do most of our projects together, I guess I am will have not going to wait on him to get back. I think you all know that when you have an idea, "one must go for it"! So, that is exactlly what I did. OK, patients isn't my best feature! especially when I have an idea. Am I the only one that is like this when it comes to DIY'ing?
I found this idea in the Flea Market Style magazine, love this magazine (I wasn't paid in anyway to say this, soley my own opinion) , they have so many great inspiring ideas! I thought it was such a cute and cleaver idea! We don't have a lot of places available for hanging baskets, so I thought this idea would be a perfect solution for hanging baskets.

A rake isn't just for racking leaves, It also can be a garden stake to hold hanging baskets
Added some new flowers to the pot
I wanted to take it one step further, so I added a solor lantern light fixture.
I love this rack transformation.
No longer just a rake, but now a garden stake for hanging baskets and to "rake it up" it is also a solar light pole too! How fun is that?
OK...moving on to the next project(s) Hint: maybe inside (wicker), maybe outside (pallet)????

I'm your new follower. Found you through Serenity Now's Weekend Bloggy LInk-up. Just yesterday, I cleaned out our rental house garage, and did not know what to do with the three vintage rakes that were left. Now I know exactly what I'm going to do with them. I LOVE YOUR IDEA!!
