I love taking functional objects and turning them into artwork. This antique printer drawer is a perfect example. I’d collect several and mount them together on a wall to create a look that straddles antique and modern. These tend to be really affordable. You can find several at Antique Mystique.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m always looking for interesting andirons. These 20th Century aged wrought iron andirons are really beautiful. The pair features various scroll and twisted elements that you don’t often see. Check them out at 1st Dibs.
