Mad For Plaid
I have a personal question for you...how do you feel about plaid? It seems that most folks have either a love for it, or a strong dislike--dare I say even a hate for it.
Me? I think it is grand. Yes, a little stuffy, a little neat and proper and even nerdy. But, I find it's colors and pleasing array of lines that can vary so simply delightful. So when I "refound" bits and pieces of a holey plaid wool blanket that I previously used on a stool and bulletin board,
I decided a little piece of it would work on an old tray I had.
I was planning on using spray adhesive to glue the piece of wool down on the tray ( I did paint the tray red), but then decided who was I kidding, I need something that is a little more washable and durable. I then decided to use some modge podge to adhere the wool and help make it a bit more durable.
I did lose the softness of the wool, but figure it will last longer and hot cocoa spills will clean up much easier.
Where in your home can you add some plaid?
