Here it is hanging on the wall near the stove area in the kitchen. And then I had an old wood handled can opener that I picked up at a sale. I also painted a mountain scene on it and this is how that came out:
To finish off, I had hubby varnish the handles and that brought out the colors nicely and the detail. This is such a fun project and if you are a good painter, you could paint a little spray of flowers on the handles or sayings with vine and flowers, use your imagination. These little touches make a vintage kitchen utensil into a keepsake and even a housewarming gift! If you try this, please send me a picture as I would love to see your creations!

You did a great job, Kerrie. I really like your paintings. I have seen paintings on tools before (like saws and shovels), but not on kitchen utensils. What a fun way to decorate the kitchen...
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea. I really like your painting of the farm scene on the spatula. I don't have a lot of old kitchen utensils but I have a collection of old hand and garden tools. I might have to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteWhat a talent you both have :)) The painting is lovely of the old farm, will be visiting you again soon Pat in tas :))
