We’ve recently installed copper pipes in the kitchen and throughout the house – so the introduction of other items made from this metal can work really well in the spaces where they’re visible. We don’t want to overdo it and have the house look like ‘Ye Olde Pub’, but a few select pieces of this lovely, warm metal will find a good home in our little cottage.

We found these cute copper spoons online the other day. They’re available in different sizes; perfect as salt spoons, teaspoons, coffee scoops or serving spoons – or simply decorative items. The rustic, hand beaten look of the copper spoons is perfect for us too.
