Mealplan Monday #118 and a pretty carved wood plaque

See that space above the TV/stereo cabinet?  It has always bothered me.  It's such a weird little space.  So blah.  (Gosh I love having the TV closed up - everyone go read a book!)

 But a couple weeks ago when I found that vinyl sign I put in the master bathroom, I also found this carved wood plaque - and I knew it was the perfect size!  It has such pretty detail and the color is a dark espresso brown which is perfect in here.  

It was $80, marked down to $23, and I got a further discount making it less than $20, PLUS I earned $10 Kohl's cash to use later (which I did, buying Firstborn a mattress cover).  Gotta love Kohl's and their sales!

  I had to move that TV/stereo cabinet and clean up a bit, then squeeze a step stool in there and get Bubbie to help me center it.  I used my push pin/nail routine: hang it with a push pin, stand back and look at it, remove pushpin and hammer in a nail.  Done.

 I like it.  And it only took 17 years to get something up there...
