Etsy Find: High Tea Spoon Cabinet

I've written about many common types of storage and even some that have stumped you. But, never a spoon cabinet. Only the Aussies (OK, and maybe the Brits) would designate an entire cabinet on the wall just for their spoons. I'll overlook this absurdity given my interest in the Tim Neve High Tea Spoon Cabinet ($45). The silverware storage unit received a modern update with a bold graphic illustration print used as a backing and a finish of glossy black paint, making it scrumptiously delightful. So, for those of you who have a vintage spoon collection, you can rest assured that you won't look one bit Granny for it — (even though you kind of are).

Love It or Hate It? Antique Spoon Chandelier With Tea Cups

Yes, yes, I know this is grandma style personified, but I still can't help but smile when I see it. The Antique Spoon Chandelier With Tea Cups ($599 to $999) is made from antique silver utensils and teacups that are then secured to forged-iron frames lined with curled spoon handles hooking assorted teacups. I think this would look lovely in a quirky parlor that mixes antique furniture with fun, modern art. Where would you use it?
