vintage kitchen

Do you all remember those awesome brass bundt and fish shaped pans that you'd see hanging in older kitchens? Yeah, I remember them too, and honestly, I remember hating them more than anything.

I started thinking of them recently, because we desperately needed some life brought to our little kitchen that could!

I bought a "swag" at Home Goods about a month ago, so that is hanging on the wall above our stove.

I knew that there needed to be something on either side of it. "But, what" I asked!? And, then, for some strange reason, I thought of those darn bundt pans. Really!? I couldn't image them here, but then again it was like they would look perfect there at the same time.

There were some ideas that I knew would look neat, but not so much in our kitchen

Wishing that I had enough room like in the last photo here, I had to settle do something similar to the first one! But, I drew inspiration from enough enough to know that I really wanted to hang pans just like these!

 

I googled some places and searched on Etsy with real no luck in finding any that I liked or were within our price range. I mean, they may work for our little gallery kitchen here, but in the future; not so certain.

 

One day we wondered into Goodwill looking for a lamp (which we found one by the way!! that'll be for another post!) I went to the kitchen section just to pursuse the shelves, when all of a sudden I saw a bunch of bundt pans! I was so excited!! We purchased 4 of them at a wopping $2 a piece and we were off!

This was them yesterday morning before Shane hung them up.

All nice and clean!

 

 

And here they are in their new home!

 

We may at some point paint the others, the red one right now is the closet to being a matte finish. I love that one! I think they look so lovely up there on the wall! The style of them really fit in this kitchen! And, my style I guess changes depending on the room! :D

 

Have you ever purchase something that you disliked for years and then found yourself working it somehow into your own decor!?
