Dec-A-Raten'

The Corner Before


Then I found this at the auction for $9.00


Thought it was real wood...it wasn't....it's particle board-like stuff.



But black spray paint blankets a multitude of sins...Ok, it doesn't at all, but it worked in this case.



I added some reproduction depression glass green knobs, added some coat hooks, flowers, well you can see it right here...



The silhouettes, I bought on eBay because the people were from my town.  I think I paid $20.00 for them.  The wooden whisky box I got at auction for $5.00 and there was other stuff in it too..., the figurine (you can't see it due to my wonderful photography abilities) is a cherub with a goat eating grapes, $1.99 at Goodwill; the white milk glass vase, $1.99 at Goodwill.  The pitcher, I've had for years so we'll say 0 for that one.  The black and white etching was a SWEET gift from my lovely bloggy friend Kathleen.  There are goats in it.  OH and the plates, the plates on the wall is a total rip off of the Nester.  'Cept I don't have as much open wall space.  I actually collected enough white plates to go around the whole room, but it was a little much.  So I opted for just two walls.  I like it.  Oh yeah, they were like $5.00 for the ones that you can see.  So in this corner we spent a whopping...$60.00 (well about that with the spray paint and plate hangers and unseen stuff). 

So once more: 

Tommorow, I write on the wall and pick through the garbage.  Yeah, I'm classy that way. 

Smiles,
Lisa
