License Plate Decor

Today's post is short little ditty to explain why I use the license plates I do in our home decor.

Beside the fact I just plain like 'em, they have a meaning unique to us.

This frame holds plates that correspond with our birth places/years.

Still on the hunt for the proper plate for my oldest daughter to add to this.

 

Plan B





Remember yesterday's goal was to repaint the scripture by the birdhouse?
(Scroll down and you'll see the pic of the scripture in the frame.)

Got out my Cricut...

Spent over an hour cutting my stencil...

Make It Personal

Saturday we found a coffee table my husband has been wanting.



The paddles were missing and the previous owner had used this outside so it is very weathered.

Both minor *issues* make it perfect for us!

Not much in our home or my husband's apartment is bright, shiny, or "perfect."

To finish making it just right for us, I did a quick stenciling project.

All boats are numbered...so...a personalized number it is...
