Hand-Painted Trivets....Anything goes, and they are not "Old Fashioned"!

Available/$ 20.00

What comes to mind when I say "Trivet"? A lot of you younger folks might say "Huh, what's that"?..but, us middle aged to older folks would probably know what a "Trivet" is from seeing them in our Mothers' and Grandmother's Kitchens, and on the table at special occasions. But, what about today? Has the Trivet lost it's place in the American home? I hope not!


New homes have evolved to some of the most beautifully, spacious, and multi-use retreats from a busy life. With custom decor themes that has no limit to the imagination, and the dawn of the "Home Office" or "Home Business", home owners to these "Dream Homes" are always on the look out for accessories, and accents that make the room exciting and unusual.

Most of these pieces that I have done, and are available for purchase are featured here in this blog post.

"Boutiques" are all the rage, with the "Vintage" look, or the "French Patisserie"(Pastry Shop) and "French Boulangerie" (Bakery Shop). These particular Trivet Designs give a special accent to a counter or even a wall!!

I have a very dear friend of mine that is a business woman and a very valuable asset to my business "Judaic Expressions and More" as an awesome Small Business Mentor. "My Pink Boutique" owner is responsible for giving me the idea of doing Trivets, and how to do them.
"My Pink Boutique" deals exclusively in Faux Pastries and "Vintage" accents and jewelery. Please, check out her web-site you'll be amazed!!

All my products including my Trivet items are all custom hand-painted, and there is no way to duplicate them exactly a like, that is the unique part of buying my products. No "Walmart Specials" here!!

What kitchen doesn't have a pot or two? Or, occasionally have soup cooking on the stove?.....How about this casual but classy piece, sure to advertize the cook of the kitchen's culanary skill in a cute and fun way!

But, what if you are into a "Wine Decor" and want something different, here is an answer to following your "wine theme". Don't forget!!..I can custom paint a fresh new look or design that you might have in mind. Perhaps, an idea of possibility "a bottle of wine and a glass half poured with a cluster of grapes" might be more your style....
           contact me and order it!!!
          


What about Flowers and Plants!!! This particular piece is called "The Mysteries of Life" because so many analogies can be seen as one ponders and meditates on this amazing work of art.

This is a great conversation piece, and a wonderful accent to an "Ikea Kitchen"modern decor.  What is great about it, is that it fits a number of  color schemes as well. So, you can still keep it out or hanging, when you redecorate!!

Not just the kitchen either?......Trivets can be a wall decoration for any room in the house!!! Trivets can be a great unusual"wall tile" arrangement for the bathroom too!!!

Unavailable/sold 

How about this Rosebud Trivet? I can do the rosebuds, but you will have you own unique arrangement!! Just make sure to describe the colors that you would like them to be, when you contact me. I hope that you have noticed that the background of the Trivets are different and can be customized as well.

I just have a few more to show you, focusing in on the versatility of the occasion on which to use a "Seasonal Trivet", and a "New Idea" that brings Trivets up to modern times. First, I'd like you to see these two smaller Trivets (4x4's) with a "Seasonal Message". For those of you that are familiar with the Jewish home and way of life; you will enjoy them.

This cute and springy Hebrew embossed Trivet which says "Shabbat Shalom" is a delight to bring out with your Shabbat dishes, and silverware!! Or, it is a way to have the "fragrance" or "essence" of Shabbat in your home through out the week, from one Shabbat to another. If you have a particular idea in mind for a "Shabbat Shalom" Trivet....again, this is not a pattern  that is set in stone, just something to give you an idea as what you might like to see in your home.

Available/ $15.00

      I love the High Holy Days.....so, here is a Rosh HaShanah inspired Trivet, that is sure to accent The Special Occasion Table dressed with it's inviting sweets for a Sweet and Prosperous, and 
 Happy New Year!!  I will probably do a Trivet for Yom Kippur's "Break-The-Fast", a Sukkot one, and for sure a Channukah one too!! 

Unavailable/sold

Oh, I almost forgot!!......you know that "Home-Based Office" that I mentioned earlier? Well, I actually have done a Special Order Custom Trivet for a person who is an Occupational Therapist. She asked for a particular background to be done, the background that was done on the Trivet above how a person with a perception deficit disorder might color something. Advertizing your "Home Based Business" is a great way to get you noticed. There is just endless possibilities on Occupations, Professions, Hobbies, Special Home Decor etc. for what to put on a Trivet, and what you might want to use a Trivet for.

So, now do you think that Trivets are a thing of the past? How about ordering one today?
I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any comments to make, feel free to do so.
 Shalom and Blessings!!
