Potrack in the old house:
I picked up the green wire rack for 7.00 at a second hand store. I asked the lady if she knew what it was supposed to be, and she said no, but it looked neat, and she wondered what I was going to do with it. I told her it was going to be my potrack.
There's no room for a pot rack in my kitchen ceiling in the 'new' house (now four years old), so we flipped it over and it's been a plant rack and wind-chime hanger in my sunroom:
Four years, and the walls still aren't finished. Not sure they ever will be, because we cannot fix the leak problems out here. I almost wish we'd left the walls off and just screened the thing.
Pretty much all the windchimes, pots, planters, and the porcelain pillar you can just barely see the top of, all came from thrift shops, yard sales, or the basement of The Rattery, too.
Other ideas for a pot-rack: an old bicycle wheel, a spray painted wagon wheel, part of an old gate, fence, or bed (headboard, footboard), any piece of scrolled metal, wrought iron- attach with chains, strong hooks, and make some 's' hooks for the pots using a wire coat-hanger, wire snippers and pliers to shape the s hook.
