Enclume has been making metal pot racks for the last four decades out of their factory in Port Hadlock, Washington. You won't find cheap materials or flimsy construction here; rather, every Enclume cookware rack starts with super high quality hot-rolled steel and requires over 60 handling steps to complete. An Enclume rack "represents the efforts of skilled humans, not machines," as they like to say.
We're all about sourcing, prepping, cooking and eating good food here at The Kitchn, yet there's one area we seldom think about: using food plants as dye. But now that I have the beautiful poster pictured above hanging in my kitchen, I'm inspired to take another look at my food scraps and consider what color they might produce on a t-shirt, or a napkin. Take avocado pits, for instance. Depending on the mordants (used to help fix the color) an avocado pit will produce anything from a pale mauve to a deep grey.
Eat your greens... and your reds, and your yellows, and your violets. That's the message of this bold and informative poster. Want a reminder of just which nutrients are in your fruits and vegetables? Hang this on your kitchen wall.
MoreI first heard of woodworker/DIY'er extraordinaire Ariele Alasko when her super cool salvaged headboards showed up in my Pinterest feed. After exploring her site, Brooklyn to West, I discovered she also makes salvaged wood dining tables in her signature graphic, mix-and-match style. I think they're stunning, don't you? A little worn and rustic, but completely eye-catching.
MoreWe received a note from a reader named Peggy, who sent us these photos of the loveliest family heirloom: A hand-embroidered seasoning chart. Want to hear her story about this beautiful heirloom?
MoreLatte art is nothing new, but the designs that NYC barista Mike Breach does certainly are. He paints portraits and other intricate pictures (like the New York City skyline!) right into the foamy latte surface. He finds the whole process a little more meaningful and personal: "This doesn't last forever," he says. "I think that's what makes it special...I just painted it for that person to see."
Reader Jennifer and her boyfriend have been on the hunt for a kitchen clock for some time. So finally they stopped looking and made their own out of the perfect kitchen thrift store find. Want to see how they did it?
MoreWhen I first saw this chandelier in the virtual pages of Lonny magazine, I chuckled at the side note describing it as "an audacious flourish." That's pretty much what this is: it's not just a chandelier (which we've seen in kitchens before); it's a chandelier in the shape of a large sailing boat, and it completely steals the show.
MoreThis schoolhouse-inspired dining room is so fun, with its floor-to-ceiling world map, vintage chairs, and purple (!) dining table. If this inspires you to paint your own dining table (or other piece of furniture) consider this tip from Jenny Brandt, the table's owner...
