Forgotten Treasures Wall Decor Tutorial

It all started with a plate almost a year ago...

I held the discarded treasure tightly in my hands at the thrift store, knowing it's future would be something beautiful one day so I searched around and was able to find three other matching plates. Yay, my lucky day!

They made their way home with me and sat on my floor, waiting, these beautifully whimsy plates couldn't just be displayed any old way. I had to find their perfect match.

Then one day, months later, I stumbled upon the perfect abandoned cabinet door at Earth Wise in Tacoma. I couldn't get it home fast enough!

Two coats of paint and some embellishments later, a beautiful creation emerged just as I'd imagined and now hangs lovingly on my wall.
