    This is the before picture of a Cast Iron Chiminea that I bought at a garage sale. I wire brushed and prepped most of it. The wife cleaned and painted it. Which is the after photo. Let me know your thoughts. My profile avatar is the nighttime burning 20180624_184208.jpg 20180707_124211.jpg

    My wife is the same, she's been on a kick restoring and repurposing old furniture, she's got a real knack for it.
