I mentioned yesterday that we went treasure hunting last weekend. Tomorrow I am going to share all of our fun finds but I had to show you my favorite quick update.
When I saw this gem of a glass-platter-thingy…seriously what are these called…I knew it had to come home with me. I love picking up pieces like this because the options are endless.
She’s a looker right. With her sweet old country quilt scene. I considered gold leafing the plate and staining the wood, but decided on a more fun approach.
I put a quick coat of Pantone’s color of the year around the base and then cut out a cool piece of graphic scrapbook paper. I intended to glue it down but then decided that I would love it more if I could change it up with just a paper cutout. Just look at her makeover.
Have you done any quick updates?
Will you ever get sick of Emerald?
What is that thing called seriously?
Love that color! I bet the worst part of the project was waiting for the paint to dry! haha.
YHL called it a cheese plate but I think there’s an actual name for it. What that is… I have no idea.
Found out on FB it is a Cloche??? Don’t ask me to pronounce that hahaha
its a cheese plate! right? maybe.
I found out on FB it is a cloche….but shoot I will throw some cheese on it! Cheese makes everything better 🙂
This is a cheese plate. All cheese plates back in the Seventies had cloches on them to keep the cheese from drying out.
So interesting…I had nooo clue!
