\"Utensils\"Designer Tord Boontje has created a lovely–and insanely expensive–collection of kitchenware<\/a> “inspired by the witches and wizards of western lore.” In addition to this utensil set there are some neat black casseroles that are reminiscent of cauldrons, some gothy-looking aprons, and a pair of spooky oven mitts.<\/p>\n

I’m not kidding about the expensive part: The salad “hands” in the upper-left corner are $330 per pair, and one casserole will set you back $1,150. Whoooa, doggies. However! Could you ask for a better source of inspiration for a little kitchen witchery? Take a careful look at the style of these items, then keep an eye out for similar (cheaper) kitchenware.<\/p>\n

The apron<\/a> is an easy do-it-yourself job: It’s little more than a carefully-shredded hunk of black cotton.* Similarly, the oven mitts<\/a> could be copied by buying or making<\/a> a pair of black cotton mitts and then adding some rough stitching with heavy thread.<\/p>\n

Pair your cast-iron cauldrons and pointy utensils with some artfully-decorated storage jars<\/a>, and you can add a spooky vibe to your kitchen without cleaning out your bank account.

\n*I would, incidentally, caution against wearing something like this around an open flame. Too many loose floaty bits to catch fire. And flaming goths smell terrible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
