Spray Paint Date

I found these brass plate chargers at a yard sale last week. The first price was $9.99 each. I got all 6 for $5.00. I really wanted white chargers so we had a date with spray paint in the back yard.
BEFORE
I am very happy with the results. I know they will take a lot of wear and tear at our house...but I can just touch them up, if they get chipped.
AFTERMost of the things on my table are from thrift stores: tablecloth, napkins, some of the flatware, milk glass vase, napkin rings, candle holder, Buffalo china little plates and berry bowls....
I've been keeping the table set between meals because it helps the "boys" remember not to leave stuff sitting around on the table. It also helps with storage - I don't have much so if I keep all this out on the table and keep the dishwasher full- I have less to squeeze in my cupboards!!!

Did you go to the Auburn City Fest? Terry, myself and the puggies went! It was so beautiful!

The table looks good. You should have written about the roses and that you have a new collection of vases!

Very nice!!! I know what you mean about storage. That will change in the future. Love the white chargers. Dollar Tree had some large white plates last year that I use for chargers.

Looks like you have been having fun playing. Love to do that.
