Have you seen those wood industrial style racks?
I have seen these pop up here and there in blog land and have wanted one ever since.
Even though some say this is rack is industrial style it says farmhouse to me!
And you know I am very eclectic with my style.But I knew this would fit in perfectly.
I am very fortunate and have many resources for finding vintage treasures.Recently while visiting one of my favorite antique shops I came across this wood industrial rack.
On the tag it said it was a baking rack but I have seen these called shoe racks.
The price was not thrifty but it was very reasonable.And since my birthday is just around the corner I bought it.
I had an idea of where to put this.
But when I got home it was not looking like I thought it would in that spot.
My second thought was the kitchen.
I first tried it without the farm door but I love the door as a back drop.
No worries my pink table has relocated into the family room.
As you can see I have quite a collection of white dishes and white ironstone.
Some of my collection is still in my French hutch and my kitchen cabinets too.
Don’t you just love the patina on this!
I have no idea how old this rack is but I will treasure it!
This sweet little table scarf was found at a garage sale the same day I bought this cart.
I added this to one of the shelves and I absolutely love it!
My collection of cups is added here shown upside down.But as I am typing this I have already changed this!
Oh yeah this will be changed quite often.I am getting some ideas already for fall decor.
Not bringing any of that out just yet though.
A bundle of napkins are pretty displayed but also used everyday!
My Homer Laughlin plates found a new home here too!
My silver coffee server also has a new spot…..for now.
These roses are amazing I am hoping they hold on until my birthday on Wednesday!
They are so perfect they almost look fake.
I moved one of the chairs at the end of my farmhouse table so you could get a better view of this rack.
This corner is changed quite often!
I have another change in my kitchen that I will share with you soon.
Don’t forget to link up to The Scoop! The party goes live on Monday 5 p.m. central time!

Oh I love your new rack, it is fabulous and wow, so much wonderful storage. Hugs, Marty
I’d love to find one of those!! I hope to someday. What you did with yours is just perfect!!! I wish you had a huge ironstone bowl to put at the bottom for your potato’s. Wouldn’t that be cute!!! Or a pile of tablecloths!!
I love your entire room!!
I love these old racks too. So practical and who can say no to extra storage and display space? Do I see wheels on the base? Even better! Looks great Anne!

Anne, I love it and there was a very old shoe rack at a local antique place near me from an old shoe factory that closed down. They wanted $450 and I just couldn’t pay that while saving for my trip plus not a clue where to use it. Glad you found the perfect spot for yours.
Wow $450.00 this was 128.00! I knew this was a great price when I saw it and I knew it would not be there for long!
Great birthday gift to yourself, Anne. It blends in perfectly with your decor.
That’s beautiful Anne – love the patina – and your beautiful vintage items sitting on it just perfect.
What a great find!
XOXO
Anne,
I am so jealous (just kidding)…I have been looking for one of these for a few months…maybe I will get lucky like you and find one. Luv how you are using it.
Blessings,
Linda
Your new baker’s rack is fabulous and fits the spot perfectly. I like how you used it to display your dishes too! What a great treasure :o)

I love those racks! I think they are old shoe racks, myself. I think it looks great filled with your white dishes. It really pops against the old wood.
Anne- It looks really good in your house. I have never heard a wooden one like that called a baker’s rack either. It is perfect for your dishes though. I like that it has the casters on it. I am beginning to think I should put casters on ALL my furniture! lol Wouldn’t THAT make life easy?!
Your roses are just SOOOO gorgeous…they do look fake- you aren’t trying to LIE to us are you? You will have to read about MY lie on my blog tomorrow!
Hope you have a great Sunday, Sweet Annie! xo Diana
I love it Anne!! It looks perfect!
Once again you have given me an idea. I bought new dishes yesterday and am letting ideas run rampant around my brain. I had already decided to change up a metal shelf in the dining room. It is a similar shape as your rack and now I know what I am going to put on the rack.
Thanks!
really love how it looks in front of your door, anne:) makes an awesome bday gift–have a great bday!
Anne, I love this rack and I think it looks perfect where you have it! I have one similar but not near as nice..,and what a steal!! (I saw your comment about the price). Great find 🙂

Whatever you call it, you fixed it up right. It looks beautiful in your home.
LOVE your vintage shoe rack! I have one on my wish list! Love the rustic wood so much! You have styled in wonderfully! It will be fun to play with at Christmas time too!
mmmm I think it needs a coat of ASCP… JUST KIDDING! It’s gorgeous! and what a lovely contrast with all the white.
Great choice Anne!
LOL you are funny Anne! Hey can you believe it I did not touch a paint brush to it and I won’t either … 🙂
Anne,
The rack is perfect and looks great. I love all your white ironstone on it. That cute coffee server is so adorable with the roses. Happy Early Birthday. Wooooo Hooooo.
Kris
I love the rack! It looks great with your white ironstone!
I love this Anne…looks great in your home!
I had two a few years ago that I sold at our White Show and am having sellers regret!!
Happy Monday!
Wow, your new present is gorgeous….I don’t think I could have passed it up either. That style piece could go almost anywhere….
XO,
Christine
Great find! I love it and found one at a decent price about a year ago. But nowhere to put it! So I passed. Of course it was sold the next time I went in. Dropping by from Met Monday. Hope you’ll come see my grandson’s playroom.

That was a great find. You are lucky to have good resources for your style. So homey.
I love these old industrial racks!!!! What a great find!!!!!
What an amazing find Anne! It is beautiful!!
Anne,
The contrast of your white dishes looks so pretty on the shoe rack you found. I love where you have it next to your table and also how your using it right now. The wood tone adds a nice anchor to your lighter decor.

I love it and wish it were mine 🙂

I love the way certain finds just fall in together in place to make such a wonderful vignette. The rack is a great find and so is the table scarf.
I hope to work with you again in the future Anne. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
