Welcome once again to Transformation Thursday! It's the one day a week we all get together to celebrate getting stuff done. No matter if this is your first time, or you've been here for months - whether your project is big or small - everything is worth celebrating. Join in with the Linky below.
As women, we love to fluff our nests and make them pretty. Sometimes we forget the men in the home. It's easy to do. We cook. We clean. We decorate. They do the heavy lifting :) Between our kitchen and dining room is this tiny little spot of wall, between where the cabinet ends and the French door begins.
Vintage auto tags were the perfect fit! I love to use quirky things as art - it adds so much more than a framed piece of mass produced art does. I'm not quite sure where these came from - I found them in our barn, just scrubbed them and up on the wall they went. I topped them off with a small barn star, found at Old Time Pottery last fall.
I wonder if Mr. SCC will even notice.....
Soooo.... whatcha got? I wanna see and so does everybody else. Just put your permalink to the exact post into the thumbnail linky below, link back here so everyone can find the great tips & ideas, then visit at least the person above and below you so that everyone gets some visitors.
Welll.... Let'er rip, tater chip!

Thank-you for this amazing party! This is an experience that every week tells and shows us that life is ours to transform! You are wonderful!

I love the license plates! They look wonderful on the beadboard wall with the star!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting a great party!
Love the old license plates, I have a few too, from the 30's. I never thought to hang them on the wall, yours look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting us again this week.
Have a great Thursday!

I love your comment about wondering if the Mr. will even notice. A friend and I are always sharing stories about how long it takes our Mr.'s to notice some things. LOL! Thanks for hosting such a fun party!
ReplyDeleteThanks a whole bunch for hosting!!
ReplyDelete::chuckle:: You'll have to be sure to report back whether your hubby notices that you've done some decorating with him in mind. I'm sure my Mr. probably wouldn't unless it was something to do with the TV or refrigerator. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to participate in TT this week.
Ah, Gina, this takes me back! I remember when the Tennessee license plates looked like that. . . I always liked the way the silhouette of the state surrounded the "TENN" at the top. (Have I ever told you that I'm a native Tennessean?)
ReplyDeleteI like this little masculine touch! The plates look great with the star. Way to go!
Those license plates are so cool! In a few weeks, we are heading down to "go thru" my FIL's barns, as he has sold the farm and moved to the city. I'm SOOO looking for some of those.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your idea and for hosting!

What a sweet wife you are. I've been trying to figure out where to put something for hubby. Nope, haven't figured it out yet, but he does love the TV. Thanks for hosting again. I'm needing some good eye candy today.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting! I am your newest follower! It looks like some fin projects to go and check out!
ReplyDeleteHi there, I am new here and linking up to your party!! I found you from Kim's Savvy Southern Style! Can't wait to look around here :)

I don't know about forgetting the man around here. Mine usually has its own opinions about decorating. I think he would love those care plates on the wall.
ReplyDeleteSo tell me did your guy notice?
Thanks for hosting the party, it is fun to link up again.
The old licens plates are so great.We try to find it here in Sweden.

I love the license plates! I wish I had some old ones like that :) Flea markets here I come! I have a link and the picture didn't work - it's in the middle w/Free Printable. I can't delete it - if it bugs you that there isn't a picture, feel free to delete :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Becky
Thanks for hosting another great party!!
ReplyDeleteHi Gina,
ReplyDeleteI love the license plates.
My entry is a bit unorthodox but still a true transformation.
I hope you'll come by and enter my giveaway.
I just found your blog and I am SOOOO glad I did! It's fantastic. Thanks for hosting the party:)
ReplyDeleteI am now your newest follower!!
Again, this week, another fun party!
ReplyDeleteI love your ideas and the other ladies' ideas, too!
Blessings to you as you make your home!
What a wonderful party! Thank you for hosting so we can share our ideas and gain from so many others!
ReplyDeleteWhat??!! You think the Mister doesn't NOTICE things? Why..I just can't imagine that!
ReplyDeleteI once made a huge heart with magnetic letters on my fridge that said I LOVE MY HUBBY for him to read while I was away on a trip with a teenager.
When he finally discovered it, he said it scared him to death! He thought someone had gotten into the house! (It only took him four days to notice.) :o)
I so agree with you that our decor needs to reflect our hubbies presence and taste as well as our own. That's why our bedroom is full of dark wood and bold deep colors. It looks like an English library. :o) He's into classical music, literature and art and that's one of his favorite rooms.
Great post Gina!
Love the idea. I found 2 boxes of old car tags when we bought our home. I've been hanging on to them since then. I will share should someone come along and want a few. Great post!
