Here is my fourth project of the summer.

I started with lamps.

Then I made a custom desk organizer.

The next item was refinishing a brass container.

I went to Marshall's (still have $30 to spend on a gift card) but I didn't see anything that spoke to me.  BF and I were out and about in a different city where there is a Homegoods.  

Here is what I am working with, in a combination of Goodwill and Homegoods.

What is your vision for these items?  What do you think I might do, if you would like to play along?

A pair of donkeys-

From Homegoods-

Enjoy your projects so much.

Bookends?

Finials?

Get rid of the Mom's Kitchen sign.  In the meantime, I'll give it some thought.

Sorry but those are mules or donkeys.  NOT horses.

I am visioning the Moms Kitchen sign removed, the donkeys glued to the protruding ends facing eachother, hung on a wall or sitting on a table or desk...now it's a book rack, cookbook holder, or mail holder.

Shelf with the donkeys on either side and the moms kitchen part down and that's where you would put your items on to store or display. Hard to describe what I'm getting at. Can't wait to see!

I referred to them as donkeys in my OP.

Where did you get horses?

The mom's kitchen part is welded to the rack. 

Welding/soldering is beyond my DIY scope, LOL.

You'll definitely have to cover the sign somehow.
Paint, fabric, duct tape 

Once that's done, and if you actually have a lot of keys, attach small cup holder hooks to the bottom for keys. Or, of course, cups.

If the donkeys are heavy enough, then bookends. They seem to be meant to be used sideways as far as I can tell. I'd just polish, not paint.

Looking forward to your creativity, @lolakimono
