Retro Kitchen Floorcloth Rug

I've been redoing my kitchen in a vintage/retro theme. Still a lot of work to be done, but it's coming along. I purchased a set of canisters from Craiglist. They have some cool graphics on the front. I decided to make myself a floorcloth to put in front of my sink. I used one of the designs from the canisters.

Here's the finished cloth. It is also available in my
StepOnItArt Etsy Shop.



Here is the set of canisters I purchased for $10. Check out my lady chef toothpick holder. Think I paid around .50 cents for it at a yard sale.



I'll show more photos of the kitchen on an upcoming post.

Have a happy day
