Goodwill Party Time

It's time for Sarah, the Thrifty Decor Chick's Goodwill PARTAYYY!

Sarah has been planning this a while, and I knew I wanted to attend! Off to Goodwill I went. I find that within 2 minutes of walking in, you know what kind of trip it's going to be. I wasn't feeling it. I got a little bummed. I decided to keep moseying. OH. MY. WORD. I'm so glad I did! I found not one, but 3 things! I only had time to re-do one for this little shin dig, but I will definitely share the other's in later posts. They are bigger projects!

Without further adieu, I give you... a really ugly cheese plate!

Mmmhmm, I told you. Let's get a better look at that awesome cheese themed cheese plate bottom, shall we?

Alright, I'm not gonna lie. I might kind of dig the cheese themed bottom if the wood were painted a vintage-y color and i were planning on using this in my kitchen. I however, want to use it in my bathroom. That's right... it's ma' bathroom cheese plate!

First things first. I layed a piece of paper over the whole plate, pressed a marker on the ridge of the plate and followed it around tracing style. I chopped that bad boy out and used it as a stencil on a piece of scrapbook paper I wanted to use as the bottom of my plate. I then taped that same piece of stencil paper to the bottom and spraypainted the wood surround in a cherry red color.

Ahh, so much better! Once the paint dried I simply sat the peice of scrapbook paper that I cut out earlier on top. I didn't bother gluing it or anything. This way, I can change the plate as many times as I want! I can keep this sucker forever.

I think I'm going to buy 3 bars of glycerine soap to stack in there. See the frame that Squishy Baby is in? I used the same black and white damask scrapbook paper a few months earlier to make that matting. I do all kinds of things with scrapbook paper! Endless uses! My shower curtain is b&w damask... so it all flows lovely!

(in fact, my bedroom is also done in red and b&w damask... remember my closet re-do a while back?)
