Mind out of the gutter Mamas, and into the kitchen!

As a young girl growing up, one of the constants of our family's decor (no matter where we moved) was the oversized fork and spoon, hewn from a wood indecipherable, and hung alongside our refrigerator.

Even though the carvings themselves were not superlative, the pop art sensibility of oversizing the mundane and then thematically hanging them in an gastromically-appropriate "gallery" (if you will)  worked for the wee art historian in me. 

Seeking a similar sculptural addition to add some visual spice to our family's kitchen, I found this fantasy flier:



Titled "Ted Zeppelin" by sculptor Scott Carey, the location-logical "found objects" of egg beaters, forks, a bundt pan and other food prep paraphernalia bring a smile to the face and some whimsy to the kitchen.

So two questions for you Mamas in parting:

1.) Did you have the gargantuan spoon and fork in your childhood home(s)?

2.) How do you bring art into your kitchen?

Do spill !
