"Learn to do common things uncommonly well; we must always keep in mind that anything that helps fill the dinner pail is valuable."
~George Washington Carver (1864–1943), American scientist and botanist
More creative pieces of decoration from The Breakfast Table (see previous post): a chandelier made out of metal pails, and tin cups and mugs used as planters.
Between the pails and the cups, I half expected to see a cow for some really fresh milk.

Such a clever idea! I like the GW Carver quote too, he speaks the truth.
Creativity wells up in the most unusual ways.
What an idea for lamps. I haven't heard the expression dinner pail in ages.
George Washington Carver is one of the first people school kids learn about in the USA when they are taught about the contributions of African-Americans
This is one of those things that tend to make people say, "Why didn't I think of that?" I like very much, and the quote from Mr. Carver is right on, especially when read in context of his life and times!
Those are very creative uses!
