Tension Rod Pot Rack & Affordable Copper Pans

Hello friends! Today I wanted to share a super simple and affordable pot rack idea with you all! When doing our kitchen remodel I kept going back and forth between doing a pot filler or a pot rack. I really love the look of a pot filler but after talking to multiple people and brainstorming I decided to go with the pot rack. And all it took was this tension rod and some hooks to create this look!

Tension Rod Pot Rack

I really like the lived in type look that this creates and I LOVE how EASY and AFFORDABLE this is as well! Much cheaper than a pot filler.

Also, this creates no damage or holes- simply tighten up the rod and bam, done! If you want to remove it, it’s no big deal!

Affordable Copper Pan Set

I’ve been wanting new pots and pans for years now but it can be quite the investment so was holding out. I searched for literally HOURS looking for an affordable copper pan set, my heart was set on copper but I didn’t love the price tag on the sets I had been finding. Eventually I came across the Concord Cookware 8 Piece Copper Set for right around $150 and purchased it. I’ve used the pots and pans now for over a month and I really love them! They are real copper and I love the aged look to them.

If you don’t like the aged look and want them to look shiny and new use a combination of white vinegar, salt and baking soda. Pour over the pan and watch it instantly brighten up!

On a sidenote it is Emersyn’s 3rd birthday in 2 days!! (Insert all the crying faces here.) I can’t BELIEVE she is going to be 3 already! She is such a joy- so goofy, funny, outgoing and loves to eat more than I do. Love her so so much. Can’t wait to celebrate her this weekend!
