Baker's rack on front porch?!?

I have a wrought iron baker's rack that no longer resides in my kitchen. Not sure why, but I thought it might look nice on my front porch since it is the same kind of wrought iron as my hand rails (it's a front "stoop"...not a covered porch).

Is this a complete eye sore (in your mind)? I'm starting to wonder if it was a bad idea.

It probably depends on what you put on it. Maybe with plants, some of them small and hanging, and seashells or large decorative rocks and an unusual Welcome sign...

I don't know, overall, I'm thinking bad idea. You could use it as a modified potting bench in your back yard or on your patio.
