Dragon Art or Architectural Piece

I purchased this dragon at Goodwill last year.  I think it was $2.99.

It appears to be carrying some interesting characters on it's back. 



Chinese dragons don't go with my decor, but I saw some architectural potential in this piece.  See it?

 I drilled a few holes in it and added some odd drawer knobs I had on hand.
See the architectural potential now?
 

I can still see the dragon lips here.  I'm going to have to shake that off!

I don't know exactly where it's new home is going to be, but once I get our 
entry painted I'm considering putting it in there.

I'm linking to the following parties:

  4. So creative Petie! I think that a truly artistic person can see beyond the facade to the potential that something might have. I'm looking forward to seeing where you end up hanging it! :-)
