Metallic Monday

I love this idea for a whimsical note-board!
How cute to finally make use of a family piece or turn an op-shop find into something decorative and practical!
No need to alter the tray, simply string wire tightly behind both handles. Plain silver magnets and magnetic bull-clips let the tray and miscellaneous notes take pride of place.
I think this would look great in a country kitchen or could add a touch of character to a contemporary stainless steel dominated kitchen. Also a great idea for an office area or bedroom. What do you think?
Cute!

  3. Gorgeous idea and not too big so it would fit almost anywhere, if you are pushed for space. I love the idea of mixing it up with contemporary fittings too! A-M xx
