This sheet of vintage tin tiles arrived today. I'm going to remove the central 2x2 tile square, mount the remainder over a mirror on a plywood/MDF backing, and hang the assemblage between two sconces in our entryway.
I was going to paint the tiles, but I actually like the old chipped paint and the aged patina.
If you look closely, you can see that the sheet is two sheets, folded over each other -- so I've can make a second mirror to give as a gift.
The extra tiles (8 in all) will be cut out and mounted on wood strips. I'll affix hooks to the centers of them, and voila -- instant coat/towel hooks.
Using every bit of the pig, you see...
