"Broken Dream"?
Floral Wall Hanging
Round table in the corner
Metal ShelfI got into a little interior decorating mood this morning. I bought a wall hanging yesterday that says DREAM. Well I thought I looked it over real good before I bought it and everything looked okay until I started to hang it this morning and noticed a piece was broken off. Since I live 40 minutes away from the big city I chose not to return it. So I guess you could say I officially have a "broken DREAM".
I created the floral wall hanging last night using my recent thrift store purchase metal wall basket (it was previously shabby chic distressed white and I painted it black and dry brushed it). I think it needs a little something, maybe some ting-ting, I dunno. I will let the experts Vicki or Amanda straighten me out here.
Did you notice the teak wood elephant bookends? Those were purchased from somewhere overseas by my dad when he was in the Navy. They have real ivory tusks. Real treasure! Elephants are a real hot decorative item right now, too! These are 45 to 50 years old.
The metal shelf with the small lamp was another thrift store bargain. Daughter Amanda bought the cute fru-fru lamp for me this past Christmas.

Everything looks so nice! I had to go back and look really hard to see where the dream plaque was broken. Didn't notice it in the picture at first. I do the same thing all the time. I once bought two large, gold, filagree pictures with cameo things in the middle. Didn't realize until I got home with them that they were messed up. They had been melted! The frames were bent and the fillagree was broken. I think that was the worst I've done.
I live 40 miles from the big city, too. Understand completely not taking it back.
I love that shelf! Where did you find it? We've got so little space in our house, I'm always looking for shelves etc.
I found the shelf at the thrift store but I am sure you could find a similar one at Hobby Lobby or Kirklands.
