Metal Pot Rack: Theirs and Mine in the Kitchen


The Brown's pot rack
I first set eyes on the above pot rack during a post-wedding party.  Maybe it was the great food and/or the great friends with whom I mingled, but I simply had to have this simple, useful pot rack and asked the hosts for its source.  Long story short, I got my own version within 3 weeks of the event through the kindness of a mutual friend's husband. This was a good deal on all fronts. Thank God for men of integrity. 



First,  young daughter painted the wall where it was to be installed.  There was once a strip of mirror running horizontally across near the ceiling. Paint primer was needed before the paint was applied.



Next, hubby measured and found the wall studs.  This rack was HEAVY.  Plus, we had to consider the weight of the pots, pans, glassware and other stuff we plan to put on it (such as the beautiful Courtly Check pot below).


MacKenzie-Childs 2.5 quart pot
Some time after this beautiful metal rack was installed, we renovated our kitchen.  The particular wall onto which it was installed no longer exists. The rack has been put away in storage till a proper place for it in our home is found once again.
