For awhile now I have been trying to decide what to put up on the wall to brighten it up a bit and add some color. I didn't want anything to big or dramatic, just something simple and pretty with a pinch of quirkiness.
And then last week I spotted these on Etsy and I had an idea!
 |
| This just shows nine of the larger caps. I actually received 40. |
Why not frame these pretty vintage dairy and juice caps and turn them into a cute (quirky) work of art?
I started out by finding a frame that would be a good fit and a piece of white cardboard to use as the background for the caps.
 |
| Once I was happy with the layout I added a dab of hot glue and stuck the caps onto the background. |
I knew the dark brown frame was not going to look right so I decided to use my little sample jar of Martha Stewart's Persimmon Red , which you might remember from this project, to add some brightness.
 |
| The perfect shade after two quick coats of paint! |
This color goes perfectly with the Missoni tumblers and other items I have in our glass front cabinets - which are on the other side of the window - directly across from the cap art.
 |
| Crazy how similar the orange/reddish pink colors are! |
Once the paint dried and and the board was in place my plain little corner turned into this.
Hooray for a quick and inexpensive update!

What a fun idea! Your kitchen is beautiful, especially with that colorful project :)
Very cute!
I like that! The paint almost looks kind of orange-y, which is very cool with your dishware. Your beadboard is cute, too!
