While organizing my "junk" last week, I realized, if I really like something it shouldn't be tossed into a drawer and forgotten. So I took down the three black and white plates that match my canisters and replaced them with something that meant more to me. Oh, and I am including the grime I found. People actually think I am quite OCD and persnickety. I am actually a bit overwhelmed...at 44 working full time with an active 10 and 8 year old....I may HAVE been OCD and persnickety but, now I just don't have time. When you see what I found behind the plates you'll see.
After

My vintage silver trays....replacing the white and black plates that don't really mean much to me |
Before
|
Cute plates, but I am not attached and they have no vintage value... |
|
And people think I have OCD. Maybe it stands for, Oh So Dirty? |
|
The top one was even worse. Are you kidding me? The more you have, the more you have to constantly clean. Would you believe that during the school year I have housekeeping coming in twice a week. Imagine this place without that! Yikes. |
|
I am liking the silver trays. I am glad they aren't in the drawer. I do want to polish them all though. From what I have seen the shabbier the better...but I have a hard letting them get to that state. |

Rut roo. What might you ask am I doing at Good Will a day after I have organized my cupboards and come clean about my collections (hoarding...whatever)??? I have to just say, "SHHHH!!!" you totally know where I am coming from. It was only $4.99. No patina and pretty. |

Added her to the bottom, realizing she's just like the first.... |
|
She's not quite straight......I'll get it right. I would never have taken a crooked picture if I had OCD, right? It's growing on me. My husband of course was not convince any of this made sense. Oh well. Never stopped me before. |
Love what you have done with the trays! I have been wanting to do that too! Thanks for the inspiration!

You know I love this!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rechelle!! You were my inspiration! I really need to invest in a good camera. I don't think my walls are as bright as they look in the photos. It looks better in real life :)
