Vintage kitchen decor: Repurposed items

Implementing vintage kitchen decor in the heart of your home doesn’t always have to mean running out to the store to purchase furnishings and decorations. Instead, take some time to look around your home. You may find that you already have all you need to fill your kitchen with unique and vintage pieces. Here are a few items that can be repurposed for your kitchen:

From baby food jars to spice storages
There are so many spices to keep organized, from thyme and parsley to cinnamon, garlic powder, cumin and chili powder. Instead of storing seasonings away in a drawer or a cabinet, use old baby food jars. Label each jar to make it easy to read and attach a magnet to the bottom. You can stick the seasonings you use the most right to the refrigerator!

From an old rake to a wine glass display
Don’t throw out that old metal rake just yet. Instead, hang it on your wall for the perfect antique touch to your kitchen. You can hang wine glasses upside down for a vintage way to put your glassware on display.

From magazine racks to pot lid organizers
Have a magazine rack laying around? If so, install it to the inside of your pantry or kitchen cabinets. The slots are perfect for keeping your pot lids organized and easy to access. This also frees up plenty of space in your cabinets.

From colanders to light fixtures
Create a focal point in your kitchen by hanging a unique light fixture over the island or dinner table. Turn a silver colander upside down for the perfect antique pendant. You can even choose to spray paint it a bright shade for a pop of color.

From watering cans to flower vases
If you’re looking for the perfect centerpiece for your kitchen table, grab an old silver watering can and fill it with an arrangement of fresh blooms for a charming focal point.
