@Oznell  Just gorgeous, right up my alley, but not my budget.  LOL

I love your dog plates, that blue and white is so pretty!

Mine are from Anthropology. 

Here's some of the one's I own (from the internet)

Right now they aren't on my walls because I swap them out for scary Halloween pictures.....

@GingerHead ,  your doggies are adorable!  I love the colors, and the wit, the way they each have such a distinct personality!  They are an absolute treasure, and displayed all together would be such a statement, love.

@Oznell 

Thanks, I love the colors too, kinda looks pop art-ish.

I did tweak them a little since I just use them as wall hangings by blotting them with some watered down chalk paint to make them look a little more aged and muted.

I can never leave well enough alone!.... 

Are you going to hang your dog plates again? I just love that look....

[Oznell]

@GingerHead ,  of course your artistic sensibility requires tweaking, to get the exact look you envision!

I'm thinking about hanging them again.  My son is sanding the floor of our spare bedroom, at a snail's pace.  One evening a week, after a long work day!  So it will take forever. 

(There was hideous carpet glue, WELDED to the original hardwood, which even with an electric sander, is taking a loong time to get rid of. Why, oh why, did some past homeowner glue down carpet like that?)

Once that's done, and the rest of the room is finished, I think the dog plates could look quite ethereal in there...

Love your Danish dog plates @Oznell .

@Oznell 

Oh my what a nightmare! Glued down carpet?

We have paid for the sins of past home owners as well! haha.

We usually hate to hear that the previous owners did all the work themselves because more times than not they take short cuts or just don't know what they're doing and end up causing more work for us.

 It does take time, we have learned that even when things go right it usually takes us 3 x's the amt of time we initially estimate!

Sounds like you've got some time to figure out your decor with your sweet son's pace and the amt of work ahead of him! So on the bright side....you will have more time to contemplate exactly where you'll hang your dog plates !

Good Luck with that!

@Oznell   I use animals, dishes and figures, in all of my decor, Fall is hedgehogs mostly., foxes, and squirrels.

A cousin in Eastern Canada had a sheep farm, made cottage cheese, etc.

[Oznell]

@mousiegirl ,  I like all those animals you decorate with.

And those woolly sheep, oh my goodness, how cute!
