Vintage Brackets

I love old metal shelf brackets, I constantly keep an eye out at markets and car-boots, I will buy odd singles of whole bunches. They are squirrelled away in our cupboards and kept for future projects and quite frankly the more battered they are the more I like them!

I week fews ago we managed to score this collection of 40s/50s ones from a boot sale, I got the whole collection for £2.

I have been collection these cast iron greenhouse brackets for ages, I only ever seem to find them one at a time so its taken about a year to get 4! They were all picked up for 50/£1 each.

I've been hanging on to both sets with the idea of using them in the Kitchen, as we had to cut down the oak worktops quite a bit so we ended up with about 3 large off cuts, Rich cut one of these down to make three small shelves to replace the old wall cupboard.

I have done absolutely nothing to these brackets apart from sponge the dirt off, I left the flacking cream and green paint and the rust, I think they look amazing next to the oak. Not everyones cup of tea but very much mine and Rich's style!

While Rich has clutching the drill I also got him to pop up a 60s coat hook set we bought over 2 years ago, I've been waiting to find the right place for them, now they make a great place to hang my aprons.

The other white brackets I am keep for the big long shelf we want to put up over the kitchen door to store all the pans on, one of our lovely neighbours gave us two old floor boards which we need to cut down and fit but this should give us loads of storage space! Pics soon!
