Coffee Grinder Meets Frame

My Dad has collected coffee grinders and potato mashers for a long time now and inherited several from his parents.  My sisters and I got to pick our favorite.  I fell in love with this one because of the writing on front and the touches of red.  I think this one came from New Zealand and it actually works.

It has been hanging right here in our kitchen for awhile now.  I love it so much but I always felt like it was lonely on the wall and needed something more.

One day while browsing the clearance aisle at Hobby Lobby, I spotted this treasure...a rectangular wooden frame.  It was a little beat up which is just the way I like my frames.

The best part was that it was only $1.80.  That is a price I can handle.  I grabbed that baby up quick and went on my merry way.  I did not actually have something in mind for the frame but it was a great shape and a great price so I couldn't pass it up.

I got home and noticed my poor little grinder all lonely on the wall and a lightbulb went off in my head.  I grabbed the new frame and tried it on for size.  It was as if it was a long lost friend of my coffee grinder.  I coated the frame with black spray paint, sanded the edges, and hung it up immediately.

Oh, so much better.  I love it.

The moral of this story:  A frame can fix (al)most anything! 


So, if something looks lonely on your wall, consider "framing it up".

Thanks for stopping by!  I'll be linking at these parties this week!  

Happy Tuesday!
