Drab to Fab!

I have been changing some things in our bedroom for a while.  It's taken me a while to find what I want and I'm still not there yet.  I did, however, have an idea for some old faux fresca plaques that I bought from Kirkland's about 10 years ago.  Here is a before picture:

Ugh.  10 years ago, these were pretty in my bathroom.   In 2010?  Not so much.  So, I picked up some scrapbooking paper from Hobby Lobby that coordinates with the colors in the quilt on my bed.  I cut them into different sizes of squares and rectagles, and they ARE NOT perfectly straight! :) 

Then, I played with them for a while to get them arranged on the plaques just like I wanted them.  I took a picture of them before I permanently adhered them to the plaque so I wouldn't forget how I had them arranged.  Then, I used spray adhesive on each piece of paper and stuck them onto the plaque.  I planned to Mod Podge them, and even started applying it with a foam brush until my paper started buckling and wrinkling, so I immediately stopped.  Oh well, Mod Podge is not my friend.  :(

Anyway, I love the way they turned out!  Here is the after picture:

The pic looks a little blurry.  Sorry about that.

I wanted to incorporate the most important element in a marriage into the plaques, so I found this pretty paper and added a section to one of the plaques.  Of course, that most important element is to keep God at the center of a marriage.  A husband's and wife's personal relationship with JESUS is part of His perfect plan for marriage.

With that relationship with Jesus, comes the ultimate gift of LOVE...

I'm so loving my new deco in my pretty bedroom.  I'll post pics of the entire bedroom when it's complete.  :)

Keep checking for fingerprints,
