Do I have your attention? This, for sure, is not your, your mom's, or your blog buddy's Johnson Bros. transferware. Well, what's my secret, then? Let's take a look at my hutch Spring-y-ish makeover and see if you can spot it...
I went with a classic black and white. I was going to add red, but my Springy-feelin' self decided a bright green accent was in order.
The light in this area seems to give my photos a weird post-radiation glow, even if they're not soft-focused.
See the plate holder (above)? It was an Ikea clearance item sometime last year for 99¢ that I spray painted black. (Don't hate me!) My decapitated cherub works well and often with my arrangements.
You wouldn't think a black plate would show up, would you? However, it adds a really nice high-gloss surface.
The last shelf adds some Fiestaware love.
Have you guessed my secret, yet?
If you guessed my "new" transferware was really paper plates purchased for $2.49--dang, you're good--and you were right! (Found at Tuesday Morning.)
Now let's keep this to ourselves, m'kay?
I'm sharing my little secret with Linda, Marty, Kim and...
Right before you spilled the secret I guessed it. Oh, I feel a trip to Tuesday morning coming on. They probably won't have them here. Always my luck.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute ~ gotta get my hands on some of these! You sure have me giggling ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove your little secret!!
ReplyDeleteHa! I did think once I got almost to the end there with the one picture, but said "Nah"! You got me, Kim! : ) Pretty cool for paper plates though. I'd probably have a hard time using them and then throwing them out with that pattern!
ReplyDeleteOh my stars! I love the paper plates Kim! I would never have known!
ReplyDeleteLove the pops of green too!
Lou Cinda :)
No! I was looking and looking and couldn't figure it out! Even when you revealed your secret, I had to scroll back through the pictures to make sure... You had me. Great...And if you drop them, no problem. Wonderful display. I love the green and black together.
