Decorating Your Farmhouse Kitchen

Collectible Vintage Tins & Rooster Decor

I am always on the hunt for Vintage Finds for my farmhouse kitchen. Here at the Pink Pig we love collecting Vintage Tins and I have found a few that I thought would be wonderful for your farmhouse.

Tin Watering Can

We love an old Tin Watering Can, as with Spring around the corner these antique watering cans are a perfect way to display those pretty flowers from your garden.

Red Tin Spice Set

We love this vintage red Tin Spice Set as a way of adding a punch of color to your kitchen.

Tin Spice Box

Or this unique Tin Spice Box from the 1950's which features canister tins and it's own grater . Take this on your next Camping Trip up to the Adirondack Mountains this summer!

Advertising Tins

More Advertising Tins

Advertising tins have been around for hundreds of years, made to hold items like coffee, candy, tobacco and other items. Advertising tins, because of their original use, often have scratches, dents and even some rust, but those imperfections only add to the charm of these most collectible pieces.

Lefton Rooster Salt & Pepper

Let's not forget to add some Rooster Decor to your kitchen as well. We found this charming Lefton Rooster Salt & Pepper set which we love!

Primitive Shelf

Wouldn't they look darling perched on these fantastic primitive shelves? Perfect to display your collections!

Antique Ceiling Tin - Fabulous Tin Whimsies

I love old ceiling tin found in many old homes here in upstate New York. During the Victorian era ceiling tin became very popular with the initial design style taken from Europe to emulate the look of sculpted plaster without the high cost. In the early to mid 1900's there were eventually 45 companies located mostly in New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, most located near railroad lines that served as main routes for delivering their pressed product directly to their customers.

At the Pink Pig we have found some unique ways to make use of antique ceiling tin and I thought I would share with you.

These tin whimsies are a popular item at the stores and I decided to do a few in pink and white for Valentine's Day. After painting these tin hearts, we finished with a pearl glaze and then hung vintage chandelier prisms to give them that extra special touch.

These decorative hooks were featured in Romantic Homes Bed & Bath issue and were simply cut and adhered to wood with some old decorative hooks with a little patina of their own. Perfect bath decor and they are available in soft shades of green, pink and white.

During the summer we had fun making these decorative shelves in three sizes. Perfect for displaying photos! Our latest project was taking old recessed doors panels and adding a bit of character to small cabinets.




We are in the process of renovating our kitchen in our old farmhouse, so stayed tuned as I show you ways I have decided to use these old tiles with a bit of history in my old, but soon to be new, kitchen.


Remember at the Pink Pig... It's a Stylish Blend of Old and New!
