OK, so in my house the kitchen is mostly for hanging out while Scott cooks…since I mess with power tools in lieu of spices. But this doesn’t mean I don’t like to maintain the thinly veiled appearance of a chef- with all kindsa skills and tools! I love pot racks as a way to show off a beautiful collection of pots and pans- preferably vintage and pretty. You know-cast iron, copper…the good stuff! So, if you’re spending a lot of dough on that cookware- and a ton of time finding and collecting it- then maybe you can also find some copy worthy ideas here for a budget friendly way to display it here…

From Desire to Inspire a beautiful ladder-turned-pot rack spotted at Harvest House in Australia. So utilitarian chic. So easy. So cheap. Run- don’t walk- to the hardware sore now!

From yokelengho’s blog a dowel-enforced curtain rod pot rack. Love the long lean look of this one.

Clearly a window-come-pot rack. Pretty! From Young house love.

This Old House coming through with this great copper pipe creation. This one really uses the verticality of the wall. Smart!
