Re purposing Part 2:

We had to redo our bedroom because of a broken pipe- I will write about in a later post. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The disaster gave me a chance to re purpose some more things I have tucked away in the attic.

I found this window at a place here in Vancouver that is basically a junk yard for homes. Years ago this window frame was in the kids' bathroom as a towel rack. Well, as most things go when you have kids, it fell off the wall and the glass broke. I kept it because I love it (I have another one a little larger too) but never knew what to do with it.

The plates were one of my moms prized possessions. Norman Rockwell's. We were told all growing up that if we broke one we would die a slow and painful death. I have never put them up for fear something would happen to them. Finally I decided to put them up in my room. As safe of a place as any.
I did give the same warning to my kids though in case you were wondering.
I do need to confess that the wreath is new from JoAnn's, but other than that everything else I already had.

I love everything about this wall. The color contrast, the lighting...everything!
