Cast Iron Stovetop Coatrack
The erra of stovetop (not the original).
“What are the three parts of a stove? Lifter, leg, and poker…” One of two dirty jokes Mommom told me. (The other one was favorite vegtibles in the garden, “lettuce, turnip, and pea”) Just a wee bit outdated, but still scandoulous by any standard (ahem). Me? I like metal, and cast iron is a trip to work with. Solid and beautiful, it is a pleasure to create a peice with a sense of history behind the material. The duce you say? I should refurbish it and donate it to a museum? Well, more often than not single unattached parts – no matter how old, end up as scrap to be melted down. Which is exactly how I found this old stove top. I almost made it into a picture frame but I had many concrete form holders laying around (that’s what those metal hooks are). Besides, I like function and my own face so I made it into a coatrack with mirrors. I added wine corks to the hooks because I have a lot of them too. Good to tack notes on to remind myself stuff not to forget before I leave the house.
…My what a wordy post!!
