Do you have art in your kitchen? Until now, I didn't. I really have no wall space in my kitchen. Lots and lots of cabinets, but no wall space.
So, I had to think out of the box and use the sides of some of my cabinetry.
Here's my first piece of kitchen wall art...
So, I had to think out of the box and use the sides of some of my cabinetry.
Here's my first piece of kitchen wall art...
In keeping with a kitchen theme I found these stylized fork and spoon canvases at a local shop.
They were a perfect fit for the end of my island.
Because I have an outlet on that surface I fixed the fork and spoon to the end of the island with 3M Velcro strips. That way when I need the outlet I just pull off the art.
The new kitchen art works with the Vintage Silverware wall art I made to hang above the bar, not far away.

I think the kitchen art is fun and interesting and here's the best part... I can easily change it! Because the fork and spoon were priced very reasonably I don't mind taking them down and putting up something new!
I'm thinking about a large black and white piece of subway art there for Christmas!
Now I'm looking for other unexpected places to hang art! What fun!
How about you? Do you have creative ways to hang art?
Let's talk!
That looks fabulous, Yvonne! No wall space in my kitchen either - thanks for this great tip!
ReplyDeleteI love the look Yvonne and great thinking using the command strips...I love those things!
ReplyDeleteLove the pretty vignette on your buffet too!
No space either. I hang a painting above the door and also a small one above my cabinets. Other than that, no room. Love yours, the fork and spoon are fabulous. Hugs Marty
ReplyDeleteI love the pieces they are gorgeous and just meant to be on the island, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like that!
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous and strikes just the right note. More might be cluttery. Absolutely adore it.
ReplyDeleteThey look perfect at the end of your counter and the velcro idea is so smart. Your buffet looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGood Evening Yvonne, I love how you have thought outside the box and placed your artwork at the end of your kitchen island..... it looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI love artwork in the kitchen, I have a lovely large blue and yellow Matisse print in my kitchen, along with artwork from Holland and prints I have found over the years. They make me happy when I look at them as I am sure your artwork does the same for you.
Have a lovely weekend.
Best Wishes
Daphne
It definitely looks like those 2 pieces were meant for that spot. They look great!

I love how the artwork on the wall coordinates with the artwork on the island cabinet. Everything ties together in harmony. Your kitchen and home are beautiful and emanate such a happy feeling. It is very evident that you take a lot of time and put a lot of thought into your home. Thank you for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteI have one piece high continuing the vignette above the cabinets. But now where else. As an artist I NEED wall space and creative displays :-) My home is my showcase for my art... might have to borrow your wonderful idea Yvonne.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Gee
Love your kitchen art! Give a lot of flair to an already beautiful kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that in your post the other day and I though 'hummmm, that's interesting!' Most kitchens don't have tons of wall space, so I think you've given lots of us some inspiration here Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Yvonne! I was looking at that space on the end of my island a few weeks ago and trying to think of something to place there. You've just inspired me!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so great! What a creative idea you had!

This is wonderful kitchen art. I love all these pics so much and the ideas are so helpful. The storage cabinets are also very nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to have more info on these cute canvases, I noticed them in a recent photo and loved them~they look great at the end of your island!

Hi Yvonne, I love every square inch of your kitchen, your house for that matter! and I love the choices for the kitchen. Great idea to use the velcro, easy to change out when you’re ready.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend................
I love the prints at the end if the island and have a similar space. Did you make them also or did you purchase them (and if so, where)?
ReplyDeleteThey look great right where you've put them & how smart to make them easily removable, too! Very neat idea!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea!! ~~Angela
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea! Perfect for a lower cabinet spot in my black/white kitchen that has bothered me for a couple of years because it is in the sight line from many angles. Already so happy that I signed up for your blog this week,
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, I saw something like these at Homesense & debated about whether to get them for the kitchen, now I wish I did, they are fabulous. Btw, I love art in the kitchen.
