Living in a Nutshell

Give your kitchen instant Andy Warhol pop art status! For $7.60 a piece, I found a great resource for brand new caviar tins that I installed on the wall and in multiples of three, twelve tins in all, my humble white kitchen wall is now my own personal pop art gallery that makes me smile every day.

You can find the tins at emarkys.com.  Make sure and purchase the Italian Tin Traditional design in the 1,000 gram size. That is the largest size they offer. The company sells them wholesale and in bulk but I called their customer service number at 800-522-8427, and they were happy to sell me only twelve at a near wholesale price.

The 1,000 gram size tin measures 6 ¼" in diameter and is 2" deep. This measurement is not provided by the caviar tin company (since they never get a request for their tins as a home décor item) and I had to call around a few caviar companies who were willing to actually measure them for me. So, there you go!

Tips

I used removable 3M picture hanging strips to put the tins on the wall.  They don’t ruin the wall if you change your mind or if you are decorating a dorm or a rental apartment or home.

I hate measuring  so I taped off a grid with painter’s tape and made a paper template for each tin and placed them on the wall.  I just kind of eye-balled their placement in between each grid and it worked out well.
