Vintage Griddle Shelf
After giving this old aluminum handle-less griddle a coat
of chalk paint...
the possibilities became clear...
I added a handle where one was missing, this was a piece of
drift wood that I carved down to fit into the handle slot and added Gorilla Epoxy to keep it there.
I drilled a hole into the top of the handle for a string.
A shelf was added by drilling through the aluminum and screwing the shelf on from the back.
Aluminum is very easy to drill through.
The shelf is an old piece of moulding left over from another project.
The best way to hang this is by using a Dischanger they are the perfect solution for hanging items with no hook on the back.
The large size is needed for this heavy pan.
This little shelf is the perfect place for kitchen spices.
I LOVE to see others interpretations of re-purposed items. That is a very clever idea!
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't even believe that used to be a griddle! It almost looks like chippy ceramic to me now. Love!

Hi Susan! This is such a clever project! My husband won't part with his grandmother's griddle so I guess I'll have to go antiquing! One question,I've never seen the Disc plate hanger, where can I get it? Keep the great ideas coming! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteHi Patti, Thanks so much! I won my disc chargers but here is their website. http://dischangers.com/
DeleteEnjoy!

A griddle shelf. I do believe this is original, and I am not surprised that it was you to come up with the idea.

That is just the coolest idea! Thanks for tunning me into the round disc adhesive plate hangers. When I get to town, I am going to hunt them down. Blessings and smiles, Emilou
ReplyDeleteEmilou thanks and the Dischangers are great but I don't know if you can buy them in a store. I would go to their website or google where you can get them :)

This is an amazing reclamation! When I saw this on Hometalk, I first thought you had an enamelware skillet and I was really jealous. Great job. This is adorable.
ReplyDeleteok, that is seriously awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI love people who think outside the box. You did a great repurposing! Very cool...
