plates on walls


I recently went through a phase of plates on walls. I was incooperating it into all my decor and it was just fitting in perfectly with any style. Well if you are interested in this great way to decorate walls or to just jazz up a room (wow am now using words like jazz up lol???), it's quite easy to do. The hard part is getting plates that compliment eachother, or getting an over all design together. well check out your local craft store (joanns), buy some plate hangers (about $2 each for the big ones) put your plate in and hang on wall. plate hanger comes with both hook and hanger. check out that fabulous design above.

It's a block, It's a art, no it's a coffee table!




This black coffee table sits low (Since most furniture is moving in this direction), with high functionality, and style. The sides are big drawers that could hide your crap that you don't want others to see, yet you can not even tell it has drawers. the joints are invisible unless you really pay close attention; in my book thats a plus. so whether your style is crisp and clean, laid back and comfortable, modern, or traditional, this coffeee table is great. oh and the price is great to under $150 at Ikea.
