Otay, when I took my pictures for White Wednesday, I got motivated to prepare for Silver Sunday as well. I finally got around to putting some silver trays above my kitchen cabinets, like I've been meaning to do. We've been in this house over 3 years and I hadn't decided on what to put above the cabinets until I say a picture in a decorating book that gave me the idea to use these old silver hammered aluminum trays I've been collecting. Sorry, I can't tell you what the book title was. BTW, I was buying one at an estate sale once and the woman checking me out said she made one of them in school, like in Home Ec class or something. Interesting, I haven't done any research, I just like the way they look.
So not all hammered aluminum
The pieces on this vintage tray are not vintage, they are from Southern Living a few years ago. They have the hammered look. I don't know that they made this type of pieces years ago.
I'm starting to collect old silver-plated silverware to do something crafty with them. I've also stumbled across some flatware by Marcrest that I think I'll start collecting because I collect their Daisy and Dot pattern dishes. Hum.....is there a Brown day out there?

I like the look of your trays above your cabinets. We have a collection of tureens above ours. It would be fun to switch things out now and then.
ReplyDeleteI have a few pieces of hammered aluminum from my mom's. Guess I should pull it our.
