1. Laziness
2. Fear
Laziness of course is understandable. I'm a girl, and I don't like to use tools. I want someone to do it for me an unfortunately that someone does not exist or live in this house at this time. The fear was of drilling a hole in the wall, not having a stud, afraid of it not being level, etc. But last night somehow at 10:30 I got some courage and after a tip from a friend (Thanks Betsy) was able to hang a 30 pound mirror without a stud. So here is my entry table project....
Nice but blah...cute Hurricane and candleabra but nothing on the wall = BORING. Also those are some REALLY sorry candles.

Gorilla Hooks!!! This is what Betsy told me about, you don't have to have a stud in the wall they just insert and you twist them around and there you go! A nice hook! These hold up to 50 pounds but there are also Monkey Hooks that hold 25 I think. Got them at Lowe's. Most of you know how I feel about Lowe's so I won't express that here.
Tada!! In like 5 minutes the mirror is up!
These are the Cordova Scones...super cute and had them like for 2 years and never had anywhere to put them. Until now!
They may not be perfectly level but I don't really care, I'm not an engineer or anything :)
I added an old candle I had, tied some cute brown raffia on it and then I needed something else....The Terrace appetizer plates of course!
This is the Filigree Candleabra and I had some pears that were just in a bag and they fit in the spots so there you go!
Finished!! I totally love it and can't believe it took me this long to actually try it. I think I need a runner or something on the table but for now this is my entry way!
