We finally got around to cleaning, reshaping and painting a couple of architectural pieces we bought at the May Brimfield show into a pediment for above our doorway..
You may recall the two pieces once looked like this.
My thinking is that it could probably use a little something more - perhaps some sort of decorative piece in the middle....but for now, I'm more than content with the outcome.
I had been eyeballing this exact kitchen scale on Ebay for upwards of $40 so I was thrilled to come across one at Brimfield for $12. 
I knew I could use it to cover a table I have in my garden shed....
And oh YES...after some fresh laundering with OxiClean she's a perfect fit. I draped a scarf over the top to cover the opening of the skirt's waist.
This wash stand was my first purchase of the day. I'm using it as a bird bath/flower stand. I haven't as yet bought any flowers to adorn it but I inserted a serving bowl - placed a rock in the middle, filled it with water and within a few hours I had a couple of wrens make a visit.
When I spied this pediment, which is in two pieces, I was planning to use one of the pieces as a corbel under my kitchen counter - turns out it's too long.
That's okay though because I'm going to put it back together, paint it the color of our house and use it as a pediment over the front door.
