Family......

So I had some bday $$$ last month & saw some good deals at my local Joann's for these cool sayings that are just vinyl clings (I'm sorry Torreh...the deal was too good too pass up!).
I found one that is my philosophy on family.
See:

Tres chic, no?
See the handy dandy black plates next to it?
Picked those puppies up at Goodwill, spray painted them black, bought some dollar store plate hangers & viola.
I am going to put something under the saying tho.
To balance it out.
My mom suggested a shelft.
At first I was like nah
BUT
I remembered got a black shelf from Target in July for a STEAL...normally $25, on clearance for $4! Hello...can you say SPAVE???

Perhaps I will put a bigger, oval shape plate underneath.
If I use the shelf tho I could prop some pics of the kids on it.
Then again that darn wall is cement & virtually impossible to put nails in.
Really, don't bang the wall because those plates could fall & hit you in the head.
Be careful there Bobster!

I had some black gingham bows that I tied glued to the end of the plate rack but they unglued themselves. I so need to break out the hot glue gun vs. glue dots.


BTW, they aren't really uneven, my living room is crooked.
