All in the Eyes of the Beholder

We are lucky enough to have in our local area a Habitat for Humanity outlet store. They sell all the things that are donated to Habitat but can't be used or they have a surplus of. So when I need something home-ish, and it cost a bit of money, I usually start there. This week we went looking for a new front screen door. After I found what I was looking for, we had some time to kill and so we wandered around.

Now if you found this sconce:

you might think it was not worth the three dollars they were asking for it.

And if you saw a box full of these:

You might wonder what you would do when none of them really matched.

But if you were my steampunklets and you saw these things, you would see this:

Yup, a steam punk gun.

And then you might see this pile of misc. knobs and handles as all the parts that make this gun work.

I'll be sure to post pics when they are done.

p.s. When I got the door home I realized that I should have measured it first. Any one need a brand new 30x80 in screen door?
