The Welding Man made me this pretty baker's rack over 15 years ago and I placed it
in a big window loaded up with my blue glass.
Loved it!
When we moved to our retirement house there was not a window just right
for the baker's rack. So I decorate it seasonally.
On Pinterest the photo of my rack with blue glass in the window keeps popping up all over and reminding me how gorgeous it was, so I asked The Welding Man for some shelves to
display my blue glass again.
He built shelves in the west facing window at the end of our kitchen. He used cedar boards with old yard sticks for the molding on the front of each shelf.
Now that end of our kitchen and especially that window are just aglow with beautiful
cobalt blue color. I added a few green bottles also.
Loving it!
I have not bought any new cobalt blue pieces for years but now I'm going to start keeping my eye out for new glassware. Thrift stores, church sales, estate auctions and yard sales here I come!
At least for me, everything old is certainly new again.
This was a fast, easy and inexpensive project that is paying us dividends
in pleasure and beauty.
That's a win win in my book!
