Kitchen Art

After wrapping up our Kitchen Remodel project this winter, we had an open wall that needed something.... but what???

I have what I consider perhaps an Urban taste sprinkled with a little classic for a little concoction I call Classic Urban Decor.  I like to have items serve other purposes then perhaps what they were originally intended for.  For example... We currently have an avacado green ironing board as our coffee table in our living room... or small canoe paddles for our handrails going upstairs...  So when this wall opened up for some urban decoration.... what was a girl to do???? 

Bike Wheels... Bike Rims...  WHAT?????  HUH???? 

LOL, at Christmas we hung the Christmas Cards we recieved onto the spokes with clothes pins so everyone's card was on display.  My husband was great about attaching the wheels thru the middle of the hub with some MAJORLY long screws and then closing the hub up with the original hardware so that the wheel appears to be just suspended on the wall.   VERY NEAT EFFECT!

I found these wheels at the bike shop in Oskaloosa, IA.  I was charged $1.00 a piece for these beauties!  Can you believe how great they look!  This fills a wall with urban statement pieces... for a massive total of $3.00...  holy cats batman!
