Wood Chargers Turned Wall Art

Well, my friends, I’ve committed a major blogging faux pas. In my eagerness to complete a makeover I didn’t take any ‘before’ photos.

But, you have to understand. You see, I had been trying to find just the right thing to fill this wall in our bedroom. I knew what I didn’t want but I just couldn’t seem to find what I did want. I didn’t want a mirror or paintings, I wanted something just a bit…different.

And then one day as I was digging around on the clearance shelves of a discount store, I spotted them.

Slightly hidden under dishtowels and placemats were two wood chargers. At first I was disappointed because not only did they have a strange kind of orange-y, unfinished look to them, but also because there were only two and my first thought was that I had hoped I would find enough to use in my table settings.

And then it hit me…two would be just perfect if I hung them together on the wall in our bedroom that kept giving me grief.

But in my eagerness to get it done, I completely forgot to take a photo of them in all of their orange-y, unfinished glory. So you’ll just have to trust me that they look WAY better after I gave them a fresh coat of paint and aged them a bit.

And for a grand total of $4 and a few minutes of my time, I finally have the perfect wall decor for the master bedroom.

Don’t you just love it when that happens? Well then you won’t want to miss all of these other thrifty ideas from the Thrifty Style Team!

Thanks so much for meeting me at the fence today!
