Cross Ornament...layered door "strike" plates...

 

 

I found a bunch of these perfectly crusty "strike plates" in a fellow vendors booth at Antiques Downtown a couple of weeks ago...

Door Plate and Twine Handles...a compromise...

You might have noticed that my sweet husband is pretty "flexible" with the decorating around here.  I mean really...would most husbands be "OK" with an old ladder over their bed?  Or how about a broom top on your dining room table?  Just to name a couple ;)

But when I talked about painting and changing these end tables...he made them himself a while back...I experienced some "resistance".  We used them for many years as our night stands and then when we re-did our room they moved to our sons room...so when they lost their spot in there we brought them down to the Great Room and stacked them in a corner "for now".  I'm finding they work great for odds and ends...and we always need a little more storage right? But they didn't quite "fit in" with my "style".

So instead of pushing the "issue"...I decided to compromise and try to find a way to make us both happy.

And I think these door plates tied on with twine will work...at least until he changes his mind ;)

Thanks for stopping...Joan (aka Signs of the Times) and I are getting ready to set up for Christmas in our booth this week!!  So excited...have I told you how much I LOVE decorating for Christmas??  So I'll be back in a bit to show you what I've been "dreaming" up...

Until then,
