Rusty Bike to Rustic Garden Decor

I found this rusty wreck at the bottom of my sister's garden. One can of spray paint and a few flowers in a basket and it now makes a great garden feature against the garden wall.

It took 20 minutes to do and cost 3.99 for the paint - we had the flowers and basket already.

Wonderful, must get my teenagers old bikes out and maybe they could muster the energy to spray them for me.

Sorry, thought your cottage was in sligo. (Actually didn't think or I would have remembered Leitrim, because I did look at your site about renovating the cottage. Eibh.

do you think it would work the same for an exercise bike? i would love to use it in a really witty way - in the garden, only of course, after i saw your green wizard here!
