Old Silver Trays

Thrift Store Goodness

I bought these silver plated casserole trays a few weeks ago at a local thrift store.

I love the detail of the legs on this one.

I had several ideas of different things I could do with them. 

So many actually, that I'm on the look out for more.

I bought a little wood at Lowe's and tiny wood trim at Michael's and came up with this.

I made a tiny shelf out of the wood and painted it silver with a little black glaze. 

It totally looks like metal now.
I attached the little shelves to the fretwork of the frame with tiny screws.

 I hung them using picture frame wire. I kind of have a thing for picture frame wire. 

I like the look of it all twisted around the legs.

I've never had a spice rack my whole adult life.

I'm always digging through the shelves trying to find the spice I need.

I won't have that problem any more. 

Only problem with this is I need pretty bottles for all my spices.

So now I'll be on the look out for them. I like the Archer Farms (Target) bottle.

But some how I only have one spice in that kind of bottle. 

Anyone have any suggestions where I can get some really great spice bottles?

My new spice rack would really be pretty with all matching bottles and labels.

I wanted to wait to show till I'd done that...but who knows how long it will take me to 

acquire them. 

So you'll just have to imagine what it will look like with pretty bottles all in a row.

**UPDATE**
I filled glass salt and pepper shakers with all my spices and put them in the spice rack.

So much better.
