Days gone by...

When we bought our little farm we were surprised to find not one, not two but three vintage cast iron stoves. One was very damaged and had asbestos linings - it went to the dump with a warning to the operators. This one became a garden ornament. The third one was in working order and in pride of place in the kitchen. It makes great pizzas.

I love how you have given this a water colour look. Great image. That cast iron stove does make a fabulous garden ornament!

Such a beautiful work of art you turned it into, wonderful processing and tones.

It is beautiful. I have a cast iron stove in our rumpus room. I saw it in an antique shop many years ago and David bought it for me for my birthday as a surprise.

Yes I had a couple of beauties on a property years back and my kids created an outdoor play kitchen around them which gave them so many hours of amazing play

I remember having a bath in a metal tub in front of a range when I was a kid. Happy memories. This image has brought back those memories

Lovely shot. I like your edit. Nice ornamental piece for the garden.

Sounds like my uncle who had two nonworking refrigerators in his house which he kept for parts.

Three stoves- quite the collection! My younger son and his wife just installed a beautiful cooking stove in their home. I like how you repurposed this one!

[Beverley]

It’s charming and a great talking point I’m sure

[Margaret Brown]

Good they can be repurposed and reused!

[Louise & Ken]

What charm there is in these old stoves! My daughter has one as a decorative element in her kitchen and it's covered with plants!

Most lovely edit which gives this a softness and nostalgic as well as an historical quality.

Great shot and processing. Nice to find things like that, that you can use.
