What’s in your kitchen?

Written by Richard Fishenden

My wife was given a wooden plate rack that her auntie was giving away to a good home. We managed to fit it into our old lean-to kitchen and decided to store it while our extension was being built. We had no idea whether it would fit into our new kitchen but hoped it would. Amazingly it fits perfectly on one piece of wall that was going to house a cupboard. The electrician had wires coming out of the wall for an under cupboard light. The light was attached behind the rack. The light is soft and is lovely in the evening. The rack has been given a face lift by being scrubbed, lightly rubbed over with sand paper, under coated a few times then painted a light dusky pink by Fired Earth. What have you upcycled successfully in your kitchen?

Farriery was my first love. Horse shoeing is a wonderful skill and something that I still do every week. It also gave me the skills that I needed to serve my new clients at Made by the Forge. I believe in a good old fashioned service where the customer is the number 1 asset.
