My new business...

I'm still to set up an online shop but I managed to take some pretty pictures so...[drumroll...]

Allow me to present my new business venture!

This is an enamel sign designed to go behind your cooker as a splashback. Being enamel, it's heat and fire proof, fade resistant and heavy! These are not cheap repros made from spray painted tin. The enamel is glass fused onto steel.

They're made in the UK which I'm very chuffed about.

Best of all, there's a distressed version!

 

This one is a prototype, I would probably go a bit more extreme with the distressing than this!

When the enamel is distressed you can see how the layers of different coloured enamel are laid on to the steel. The splashbacks distress in a very authentic old sign way.

This idea came about when I had a lusting for an old vintage advertising sign to be used as a splashback for my cooker. Unfortunately, anything food related was out of my price range and/or wouldn't fit my space.

I could have reproduced some original signs but the sizes are copyrighted so you can't crop them to fit your wall.

Hopefully these ones will provide the look at a fraction of the cost and create a real statement in a kitchen. Adding a touch of vintage. And we all like a bit of vintage!

I have a top London graphic designer who is able to interpret my vision and doesn't get cross when I'm indecisive. I'm really pleased with the design.

I still have to work out pricing but I'm thinking a retail price of £130 ish plus postage.

My dining room!

I want to offer other designs, all based on vintage signage and various sizes to fit range cookers aswell as standard cookers like this one. And plenty of colours too.

So go on, tell me what you think! Taking orders now ladies!
