Recycled DIY Project: Vintage Bakewear

April 15, 2012

I try to find a use for “everything” weather it be in the kitchen, living room, my office, or in the garden.  My kitchen walls went bare for several years after I moved in.  I was unclear as to what I wanted to put up for decoration.  A couple of months ago I gave the walls a fresh coat of paint.  Please excuse the paint marks on the cabinets.  I don’t use painters tape.  A good washing with some Murphy’s Oil and they’ll come clean.
I pulled out these pans that I got a long time ago.  When I first saw them at the thrift store they were sitting on the table together like they had a purpose in life.  I asked myself, “How can I use these?”  Some people put their collectible plates above their counters, I put pans in that space. Plus, one of them had a red base so that color goes with the kitchen.  Four was just the right amount for the space I had.  I used gorilla glue to attach the hardware and up they went.  I thought about decoupaging something inside of them to give some additional character to them.  Any suggestions?  
I’ve got a few oddities on the other wall along with some additional space to work with.  More recycled projects are on the drawing table.  I seem to be on a roll lately.  Did you see the recycled beadboard project I did a couple of weeks ago?  That piece also hangs in the kitchen.  If you missed that post, click here.  
You’ll get to know me and the way that I decorate in my house.  I have a hard time matching colors and themes, so if it looks good it stays.  Kind of rubs off with my card making as well.  I call it having an eclectic style.
Enjoy your Sunday evening.

    A little secret MCatherine. The clock is actually from Walmart. The most inexpensive red one they had in stock. It does resemble some that we've had in the Vintage shop. Thanks for chiming in!
