Hi there,
Last September I mentionned something about some antique stuff I could get from my family place in France; you can read it here if you missed it. I remember my Mum using these saucepans when making her jam...
They are entirely made of copper and have their own cover. The main issue is their weight, they're a quite heavy and this is the reason why it took so long to have them hanging above the kitchen island.
My first intention was to use a plank palet wood as a frame and screw hangers on it. I then changed my mind and decided to hang a reinforced curtain stick but I finally came back to the first idea and this is it! I like the result and how it looks above the island. Check out BEFORE and AFTER photos as well as the DIY process.
A year ago or maybe more, I told you about wine crates. I waxed some of them with an asphalt patina but forgot about the leftovers as I didn't know what to do with them...

This is a very simple DIY project I want to share with you today: a growing chart or... wall ruler made from a pallet plank.
I am about to refresh my craft room adding deco items made from reclaimed pieces so here is one!
I used walnut stain for the first time and I must say I love it: mixed with water you can actually reduce the tone as much as you like; no smell, so easy to clean and more important: cheap (about 1€!). In 10cms intervals, I used short brush strokes of paint, then varnish, then paint, and so on, until completing the ruler.
Check out the final result. Click here to see Pinterest board for more ideas and Hometalk graphic at the end of this post.
