kitchen art

I wanted to put some sort of artwork in my kitchen but I wasn't sure what.

I have long admired cutlery in shadow boxes and thought I might do that, but I can't buy them in the town we live in so it was either wait until I could go to Spotlight or make some- neither of which I wanted to do. 

But then I saw some just in frames, so out came all the old frames that I had laying around with out dated photos, some old cutlery that was my mum's and voila I quickly had my kitchen art.

I took this frame and removed the back- the glass had already been broken so no worries there.

I painted the thin MDF insert white.

and with my trusty glue gun in hand glued this cutlery onto it.

This is actually cutlery that my parents got when they were married with bone handles.

It is called Imperial by Sheffield and was made in England for those who wish to know these things.

I really like the way the dark  wood of the frame matches my bench top.

In this frame I put two tablespoons from the same set.
I also just painted the backing board white, the board had a grain in it and I quite like this effect.

 Here it is above the other set.

I found some odd spoons and things and with two old frames that I painted black glued them onto the original print turned upside down.

I also put these in my kitchen above the servery window.

I have wanted something there for a long time as it looked sort of naked but I wasn't sure what.
I didn't want a clock as their are two clocks on my twin ovens directly beneath this.

Did you notice how I cleverly cropped the photo so I didn't have to clean up the messy kitchen bench.

And for those who follow my blog yes I have changed my display to spring green.
