| STEP ONE: See super cute plate wall on Pinterest and decide that you also want to be awesome. |
 |
| STEP TWO: Dutifully go to Builder's Warehouse and purchase a few plate hangers (about ten rands each) |
 |
| STEP THREE: Clip said plate hangers on to back of plates you want to use. Nothing to it really. |
 |
| STEP FOUR: After all the plates are clipped, get nails that you thought at time of purchase would work here |
 |
| STEP FIVE: Stack all your plates ready for hanging. This is the exciting part. |
 |
| STEP SIX: Completely mess it up and hope that your landlord does not read your blog. |
 |
| STEP SEVEN: Realize that this might not be the correct hammer for the job, or the correct nails. Almost give up. |
 |
| STEP EIGHT: Let your toddler give it a go. He thinks he can do everything better anyway. Do NOT give toddler hammer. |
 |
| Seems legit. |
 |
| STEP EIGHT: Take second to admire your toddler's super cute feet and take quick "on tippy toes" shot. Obviously. |
 |
| STEP NINE: Not to let the toddler down now, go looking for another hammer in "box of forgotten things". Oh. Hello skiprope. Hehe. Well, this is awkward. |
 |
| STEP TEN: Celebrate that you now have the correct tools for the job. |
 |
| STEP ELEVEN: Wondering if my blog link was in any email signatures while initial correspondence with current landlord was taking place. |
 |
| STEP TWELVE: Abandon quest and strategically leave all evidence of your attempt in full view for when your husband returns from work. Watch him do it all in seven seconds. Congratulate him on being a man and watch him smirk at the fact that he did something that you cannot do. Secretly dispise husband. Hang plates sheepishly and have a pretty wall anyway. I'll report back tomorrow. |
