When I can, I like to look for unexpected ways to use everyday items when designing a space. It doesn't happen with every room, but, I still like to think about it. Kitchens are rooms that are perfect for this challenge.
For a window treatment in the kitchen, try taking silverware, cut off the ends (which I saved of course to use for jewelry) curl the cut end over, and then tie them on to the bottom of a valance or window shade as trim. I did this trim for 2 Parade of Homes and it was a great unexpected hit!
I also have made silverware pendant shades using lampshade frames (tearing off fabric covering...I find old shades at the thrift stores) I used wire and glue to attach to the wire frame.
Silverware are a great resource for many Home Decor applications, and I'm sure there are many more ways to discover. How do you wear your silver?
Enjoyed the project?

Thank you Beth. It really helped that my husband had the machine to stamp flat the silverware. I also used the flattened silverware to encircle the window trim in front of my kitchen sink. Fun!
