Here's our version of the rusty bike-- (Which, the last time you saw it, looked like this)-- This small bed frame is also part of our yard art. I use its mate in my art/scrapbook room-- Its cousin, the rusty baby crib, surrounds the herb garden. I would have loved to have put this somewhere indoors before it got extra rusty, but alas, no room. Ah, the rusty cow. How do I love thee? The...
