KITCHEN ART

Yesterday my niece (a graduate of the French Culinary Institute in NYC) sent me photos of her kitchen.  She had just finished tiling the back splash and wanted me to see the results.  The tiles are very beautiful, but the photo that I just love is this one with old European chocolate molds resting on the back of her range.  The reason she didn't tile this area is because she's planning on covering the wall with flat chocolate molds....




like this chocolate shop on rue du Bac in Paris has done.  Every single wall is plastered with these vintage French chocolat moulds.






I have been collecting molds for many years, for the interesting shapes and the color and patina of the old metals.


In addition to my molds, I have many old tinware pieces handcrafted in the Amana Colonies of Iowa.  An example is the huge colander pictured above.  I'll save those for a future post!
