Tin it Up!

Did you ever think something cold and metallic could actually bring warmth to a room? Indeed it can!

Tin panels are interesting pieces and they can be used in so many ways. Accent Architecturals has a very interesting tin panel piece that was originally installed in Camden, Maine in 1924, The structure that it was in has been demolished and the tin was reclaimed and hand hammered over a piece of plywood and then colorized using various tints, varnishes and waxes to turn a simple, functional piece of tin into a real work of art. The piece is 24 inches by 24 inches and would make a great addition to any room. Hang it over a fireplace or use it as part of a small collection of tin pieces on your walls. Their warm colors will bring an air of coziness to your room.

This particular piece was created by architectural artists, Ken & Michelle Hoff; these tin pieces are one of a kind and no two are exactly alike. That's part of the fun of mixing and matching tin tile pieces.

If you're looking for a simple way to bring a sense of warmth into your decor but you don't want to spend an arm and a leg doing it and you don't have the time to make a lot of changes to your room, you'll find adding a cleverly chosen piece or two can make all the difference in the world to your decor. So go ahead, tin it up!
