Pinned to Perfection!

It's my third installment of 

"Stop Pinning and DO Something!"

Here is the Inspiration picture Pinned from Pinterest a while back.

 I fell in love with the Plates over the bed and thought that our Master Bedroom needed something just like that to snazz it up a bit. 

We painted about a month ago and I have been trying to make small changes a little at a time.  I love Ironstone and have been collecting it at Antique shops and Thrift stores when I find a piece I like.  I love the creamy color and the weight of the plates.  

I measured the space from the bed to the ceiling and the width of the Rod Iron Bed and cut a piece of Butcher Paper the same size.  I ran out of paper so I used wrapping paper too. I measured the halfway spot and marked it with a Sharpie.  I set out my plates until I found a pleasing arrangement. 

 And, then I traced around the plates with a Sharpie and hung it up on the wall to see if I liked it!

From this point I called in Mr. Beaux!  I'm not that tall and I couldn't see putting a ladder on top of the bed!

He put a nail hole where he thought each hook would be and when we took the paper down you could easily see the holes to hang the hooks.

Just a little bit of tweaking and in the end I decided that I didn't like the two plates on the bottom so I left them off.  But overall I am very happy and even though there is a lot more "tweaking" to do in the room I like the results of this episode of 

"Stop Pinning and DO Something!"

Beaux R'eves!
