Mosaic Utility Cart and What Would YOU Do?

 

I have had this metal vintage 40's utility cart for years....

I originally just painted it white and let it "roll"....

no pun intended :)

Needless to say, no one came along and just had to have it.

Being the type that never, ever gives up on anything,

knowing that if I originally loved the piece, that

I would always love the piece, and

Eventually someone else would as well....it's all about patience.

That doesn't, however, keep me from reinventing it to

Help that process along.....

Now, I'm not sure who took the simple task of

Hitting old china with a hammer and just gluing it in place to a place making me actually think,

BUT someone did, making it a true art form....

And a much more time consuming task.

Still, I can hang with the best of 'em, so that's what I do.

It has a top and bottom shelf, and

Of course, both had to be done.

I always tell customers they are taking a bit of my DNA

home with my projects, as I refuse to wear gloves....

and always have a few cuts along the way,

not to mention really bad nails.

Then there is this piece.....

A wonderfully old wooden framed mirror

which is broken and must be removed.

It is old, however, with the mirror inside

I think it looks like a Hobby Lobby piece....

and I don't like that.

I want to take it to a different place, but am

not sure where that is.

Do I do a majestic mosaic inside....

Do I paint a wonderful French chocolate sign....

Do I just do another mirror knowing someone will like Hobby Lobby....

What do you think?  What should I do?

Can't get a real handle on this one.

Thanks for stopping by today,

You know I love it when you come.
