A few years ago I had to take care of my grandmother's estate and came across lots of plated silverware.  It has such a beautiful patina and I'd love to find a use for it.  The obvious use, as silverware, never crossed my mind of course.  I'm looking for something outside the box with a little "funk" to it.

Silverware is one of those things I always keep my eyes open for, whether its a single spoon or a box full of utensils its always a gold mine of opportunity.  For a quick reference quide of my top 10 Items to Grab for Unique Home Decor subscribe to my Postcard Cheat Sheet Series, today's postcard is entitled Thrift Store Gold.
