Kitchen Full of Copper Pots WOW

Have You Ever?
So many copper pots and cooking utensils. I'm glad they are all on display too. If you've got them, flaunt them. I love the open step-back cupboard and everything else in this amazing kitchen. via

Copper Pots in Home Decor

Beautiful copper pots and lids hanging from old beams in a kitchen.

This must be the back entrance into a kitchen. Copper cookware hanging and displayed everywhere. Wow. Both photos from Architectural Digest.

Meg Ryan's Great Farm Table in Loft Kitchen

This kitchen is in a NYC loft. Love the table and open cupboards. via A little country in the city is always a nice touch to soften the industrial pipes overhead.

Thank you to a reader ( francetaste ) for telling me this is the NYC loft belonging to Meg Ryan. I found the link so we can see inside! Here it is on Architectural Digest. Go inside Meg Ryan's New York City loft.

My Front Door: Decorated

White Kitchen with An Oriental Rug

I have always liked an oriental rug on the kitchen floor. I have two in my own kitchen, one in front of the sink and the other at the entrance from the vestibule. This one is perfect in front of the stove. via
