This is so pretty! And by the way, we have the commode that matches your sink, sitting over in our pasture right now! 🙂 It came out of a rental house we remodeled.

In reply to Arlene. Love the sewing machine base idea! Maybe try looking on Facebook marketplace sites for one. I find odd stuff on there that people want to get rid of, but don't want to throw away. I've found some old thermoses on there lately :)

I've been looking for one to fit on an old rusty sewing machine base I picked up for $1. Saw that idea on Pinterest too! I want to sit it by my outhouse and plant it. Yours looks great, love the color!

In reply to Christine Irvine. It could be the very same one! We're not that far from each other!

Years ago a friend and I was driving around and came across an older Ace hardware store that had everything from old refrigerators, sinks, toilets etc.. I spotted this yernal sitting there and said this would look so cute on the hillside in your backyard. She looked at me like I lost it! Needless to say we left with the treasure. We got to her house and carried it in the back and then talked about what kind of flowers to put in. We had so much fun that day and had some really good laughs. She sold her home and moved to another state, hopefully the new owner appreciated the treasure.

My husband had dragged home a vintage sink and tub, which have sat in our yard, neglected, not really visible, for years. I really need to sell them or do something- your is pretty and magical.

Pam, this is very cute. The dishes and the white bubble flowers really make it a great art piece.
I actually had that bathroom sink, and the green tub to go with it in my old house. When we remodeled the bathroom, I kept the sink and fixtures, planning to make a bird bath out of it. Fastforward to a crazy move and there was no time, so I tried to sell the sink but noone bought it. Then I had it listed for Free on Craigslist, but noone wanted it. So sadly, my brother in law hauled it off to the dump with other items. The very next day a lady contacted me about it. I did keep the old fashioned hot and cold spigots and I use those in my flower garden! Maybe my sink never ended up in a landfill in Massachusetts, and maybe it was somehow taken to your state and brought to your local restore! That would be something. Enjoy! It's really special.

My goodness, Pam, this is so cute! The stars were aligned that day when you entered that store. I love how you created a whole story to go with the sink. Just darling!
