These make wonderful wall decor that can be used for almost anything. I like to stain them myself with a stain that matches my furniture. I have one on the d.r. and two in the l.r on each end of my couch.  I pick flowers from my garden during the summer months, dry them, and use these metal containers to display them in throughout the winter months with the fretwork. I love them and get all kinds of questions and compliments about them.
