Tuesday Display Chain "Peek-A-Boo!"

Misi of 1890 Gable House Musings is on vacation this week and has asked Robyn (AKA-Primlish) to pick this week's theme. This week it's all about hiding modern conveniences. My first picture is of my stove board. I found it at an antique show for $20.00.

The next pictures show creative ways to hide electric cords and outlets.  There's nothing like a nice electric cord to ruin an otherwise perfect display! In the kitchen, I hide my cords with a couple of graters. The graters have a round front to allow the cords and plugs room to hide behind.
This last example is a lantern that hangs from a peg rack in the dining room. I used a large bowl and cutting board to hide the cord. 
 I hope you enjoyed today's post! Please be sure to visit Robyn's blog and check out the other great ideas!

  10. Brilliant! Whilst I simply could not do without modern conveniences, it is most troubling at times to have them in plain sight.
