A Repurposed Metal Flower Basket

I love finding unusual things at the thrift
store and discovering new uses for them.

This was a metal basket I've never seen before. If anyone knows what it may have been used for please let me know.

I started out by removing the wood from the handle and
leaving just the wire metal.

I mounted the basket to a piece of mahogany with a length of chain as a hanger.

A metal tag and a repurposed piece of hardware keep the basket secured to the wood. 

The basket has a great industrial look.

It is the perfect place for a pretty container of spring flowers.

The basket can hang inside or out and looks beautiful!
