I found a small windmill at my local Dollar Tree for $1. It is meant for a fairy garden. I bought it, not really certain of how I would use it.
I forgot to take a before photo but it was all more rust in color with no shelves. I added some patina paint and made shelves for it.Here it is in the living room before I filled the shelves. It fits perfectly in the space next to the couch.
And here is the finished piece. The top shelf has a small lilac wreath and the lower shelf has some spindles in a whitewashed wooden bowl, a small decorative finial (actually a vintage button), and a pillar candle on a wooden holder (also a vintage button and the candle is a pencil eraser.)I really would love one in full size, lol, but for now I will have to be satisfied with the mini version.
Have a wonderful, blessing filled week my friends!
