once for rope, now for watercolors.

objects that are made to be used, like this old industrial rope spool, deserve to be relevant even after their original purpose has long gone. if you stumble upon an old industrial treasure, whether it's a spool, an old warehouse cart, or even an old dentist lamp, take a chance. they are built to last and may fit in with other furnishings better than you would think.
