A few months ago, I found these three wooden platters/chargers at the local antique mart.
You might remember that I made over two of them and listed them in my Etsy.
I still had one left and wanted to do something completely different. Having run out of Old White and Pure White chalk paint, I turned to Vintage White craft paint to paint this piece.
I found four knobs that I had kept from a night stand makeover to use as feet for the base of the platter.
I then pulled out this image that I had copied when I went to the library, to do a Mod Podge transfer. The image is from The Graphics Fairy. I usually take a few images with me when I go to the library to use their copier to make toner copies for Mod Podge transfers.
While I don’t change up the vignettes around our home frequently, I do seem to like changing up whatever vignette I put on our dining table.
For right now, I just put my little green plant from Christmas {which I can’t believe is still alive} on it with some faux roses.
Keeping it more neutral in a creamy white allows me to use it anywhere in our home, but I kind of like it here for right now.
