Plate Rack Project and more about those silly angel wings!

I am embarrassed to even say this out loud...

it's been 3 months since i've even typed

my own blog address into the computer!

Do you ever just need a break?

Time to renew your creative juices?

Well that was us over the holidays!

But....the first of this month I saw 

a project that just had to be done!

I needed....had to have...

wanted very, very badly

a plate rack wall in the kitchen.

So like a good, sweet husband 

off to Home Depot he went!

Somebody has a platter hording problem..

not naming names or anything!

 

 

Even I have to admit that the massive size 

of the finished project took me by surprise

 

And since we only rent this house the rack

needed to be removable so that we could

remove it if the owner's didn't want it to stay.

Sweet husband built it as one large piece and 

then attached it to the wall with minimal holes

in the drywall. You should have seen all

of us...kids included trying to hold this 

thing up while he attached it to the wall.

The little bar/appetizer area in the corner

 

This is the view from the kitchen looking into 

the dining area.

Okay...now I need your help

Since we opened up space in

the dining area by putting in the

plate rack...I felt that the round

table in there was now to small.

So I brought in the table we kept

on the porch and replaced the round one.

But we can't decide which one looks best... 

What's your opinion????

 

This one is more oval and farmhouse style,

where as the other one is round with a pedestal.  

Decisions...Decisions!

On another note....

does anyone remember when I made

the angel wings out of cardboard...

way back when?

Well for heaven's sake who knew
they'd be so popular...both here
and on Pinterest of all things.

So since i've been getting a few questions about them
I just want everyone to know that I am working on 
a post with a full tutorial on how to make your own.

In the meantime here is a sneak peek at
something similar that we made over the 
holidays....

 

This guy was one of 10...I will tell you all
about my little flock in another post!

Lots of things have happened around
here so stay tuned!
