My friend Pam, an excellent housekeeper with a penchant for perfection, hates the pots that hang in my kitchen. My friend David, a photographer with an expert eye, thinks they're beautiful.
What's beautiful? I like the pots. They're beaten up, have been instruments of deliciousness and a few disasters, and are impossible to scrub back to their shiny newness. I don't hide them in a cabinet mainly because they wouldn't be so conveniently within reach.
Oh…and I don't have the cabinet space. So I use a pot rack.
And notice the pot rack. It's a piece of pipe from the hardware store. It takes up very little physical space and it cost around $10. The hooks add to the cost but not significantly.
Is this a slick and sophisticated, magazine-worthy look? Perhaps not. But it's a comforting look. It's honest. There is an integrity not present in a high end design.
What do you think?

The pots look used and have an authentic quality. Yes, they are wonderful!
Love the pots like that. And the wine stopper is pretty cool too. :-)
But that's not what the post was about. Great point about "to each her own" and beauty being in the eye of the beholder.
Its REAL and its BEAUTIFUL.
