I found the cutest/funniest/sweetest plaque at a thrift store last week. I really like the reminder of the golden rule–it’s a simple way to love others, right? And I liked how funky it was for my wall collage.
I invested $1.49 into this project. Not bad!
First, I spray painted the plaque yellow.
Then I covered the plaque with a black, water-based paint. Once the plaque was covered, I used a damp paper towel to wipe off all the excess black paint. This leaves the letters darker and antiqued.
That’s the finished product below. Doesn’t it look EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL? I had to laugh. It’s slightly more yellow and less gold but the difference is not much at all. Oh well!
The collage wall is above our dining room table.
It’s a little bit random and I’m fine with that.
Below is a simple centerpiece on the dining room table. You can see the plaque in the background.
This is the room we hang in when we have company or bible study. Wanna come over for dinner?
Oh! This is just what I need, I just moved and my closet is an absolute mess! Thank you!
Love the wall! How do you hang your plates? Btw, I love how you embrace imperfection…I’m working on that:/ you encourage me:) thx
I used command strips–they’re awesome! xo
Hi Lisa,
I love your wall collage! I’m wondering…how did you hang the watercolors with no frames. Did you just nail them to the wall? Tape?
I recognize those dining room chairs, they are in my dining room as well!! 🙂
Lovely wall!
So fun! The wood ones or the aqua? Great minds…
you are so creative!!
yes, would love to come for dinner – I will bring dessert! 😉
xo
Yum! See you soon! xo
You are so creative!! Will you come decorate my home:)??
That would be so fun!!!
I love this wall collage — and I love your story and your heart — shall I bring something chocolate for dessert?
Chocolate sounds DIVINE!!
Why, thank you, I’d love to come over for dinner! What can I bring? 🙂
How about a big salad? xo
I love the randomness. Very cool!
Thanks Paige! xo
Hi Lisa,
I’ve been out of town for a few days and just got caught up on several of your last blog posts.
Love the red bag, the DIY and especially your “the same dress four ways” posts. I have a request on a blog post from you. =)
Do you have a particular way you organize your closet or dressing area for maximum creativity? Would love a “how to” or some tips. I feel like I have many of the same pieces you often showcase but get stuck in a rut on putting together new looks.
Thought it might be fun if you were to show us how you build your fun outfits!
Will be praying for David and your family as he undergoes more testing and procedures.

Hi Claire! Right now my closet is a disaster–yikes! But I love your idea of how to dress creatively and what to pull out of the closet first, etc. I’ll work on it! xx
I love your wall ! So cheerful !
The center piece is charming.
You have the “touch”
Blessings . . .
Aw thank you Maryellen. My style is a little funky–not for everyone. I’m glad you like it! xx
