Poking around the house one day I discovered a suitcase full of goodies that I had got back from a trip to Colorado, USA way back in 2005. Of course I was pleased to find the hidden treasures that included a couple of wall plaques.
I had bought them with the intention of using them in their raw state on the doors. But keeping the new house in mind, I decided to paint them.
So out came my acrylics, and here I share with you the before and after pictures of my painting stint.

This rooster still hasn't found a place on the wall..... tch! tch! It is languishing in the cupboard.....![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbfdcVhFUYkLjD32fxUK4H_eguZsB2oLWcZCHjisNgAMA3rkfO9E6llUG0QDIfrIEHLfXWnAwA6_ap6WDxUu-RiNUSUvjW-aQSEeBwG5640ze_twsvPW6Qd3tdG_f90Et1WbUiP1qG-YjN/s320/Image004.jpg)
This plaque with the pumpkins on it could only belong to one place - the kids' room, in honour of my lil' pumpkins! :)

I really enjoyed painting this one, especially the shading on the pumpkins. Though notice that I have left their background unfinished. Mostly because I couldn't decide what color would look best.

But now I think I might just paint it a soft baby pink. That way it'll go so well with the curtains.
Any ideas, dear readers?
