Kettling Away!

      The difference between a  house and a home are those tiny, quirky accents that come from the minds of its residents. The easiest way to add your own touch to your home decor is to refurbish an old item into something new. Today we give you ideas on how the age old kettle can turn into a fun, quirky decor item with a touch of old world charm. But keep hold of the fact that we want you to use our ideas but make this item your own!


Paint them!
   Get out those acrylic paints and give your kettle a makeover. You can take inspiration from an Aztec, Moroccan or any other print or make it completely your own.

Turn them into vases/ planters/terrariums
        Flora can turn on the vintage and romantic charm in any decor piece. The kettle being no different! Add in a bunch of dried flowers or fresh flowers and create a statement vase for your coffee table. If you have a glass kettle a terrarium is the way to go. And if you have a garden brightly colored kettle planters are the prettiest sight!

Turn them into watering cans
         If you don't want to grow plants in them, water your plants with them! You can paint it a bright color or keep it rustic. Either way this is one watering can that doesn't need to get stored away, instead it can proudly take part in your garden decor.

  

Kettle chimes, anyone?
     This idea has been around for a while, but is definitely one you can play around. Instead of hanging spoons, hang beads, feathers or an assortment of both for a boho chic dream catcher vibe.


Light up your Kettles
          If you're feeling extremely crafty then lighting up your kettles is a great industrial chic idea. Punch holes in them or remove their base to create hanging lamps. Or you can use a kettle as a base for a lamp.

       And there you have it! Different ways to refine your kettle while making it your own statement piece. Happy Kettling!
