A customer sent us an email along with photographs of a completed home improvement project. We had assisted him with the project by sharing our expertise and supplying the wrought iron European Welcome Mat that he craftily used to create a pot rack. It turned out very nicely. We don't always get to see the finished projects that we have been a part of and thought we'd share the email and a photo with you.

To:  Iron Accents Designer Terri Winans

As promised, I’m sending you a few pictures of the pot rack we fashioned from the European welcome mats. Though not all the copper is displayed yet, I think these five pictures will give you a good 360 of the end product. Nothing about this ensemble was intended to be part of a pot rack. The main supports attached to the mats were bought at a feed and horse equipment store on Hwy 306; the anchors screwed into the ceiling beams and the connectors that attach to them are actually stainless steel, which I spray painted with a flat black, high heat product used on car headers and manifolds. They all came together quite nicely, with the added advantage that I have plenty of room between the pot rack and the ceiling to hold lids and other items that can’t be hung on the rack.

In case you’re wondering, the white ceramic bowl, though seemingly out of place with all the copper, is actually part of a three piece copper group used for making various types of candy. I have no intention of making candy; I’m quite content nibbling out of a box of Godiva chocolate. I’m easy to please.

Thanks again for all your help with this project. And, if any of your future clients want something special, that they’ll not see in any other house (unless they come to my house), feel free to use the design.

Hope to see you in the future………….
