The Creativity Continues

  Salt and pepper shakers

 

 

Salt and pepper shakers on a piece of checkered marble (tile) board.

My mother keeps coming up with creative fun ideas for her home.

 

 

Marble checkered board

 

 

 A piece of marble checkered tile my mom smiles, "Isn't it a great piece, I use it for many things, usually cheese and crackers." That is so my mom: Mrs. Re-Purposing, a thinker outside of the box when it comes to decorating, "I get a lot of compliments on it too, a piece of tile that will never be used as a piece of tile." She laughs.

 

 

Salt and pepper shakers re purposed

 

Mom placed the heavy tile on the dining room table, then went around gathering her collection of salt and pepper shakers and put them on the marble checkered tile, "I had this idea to use it as a centerpiece with salt and pepper shakers. Using the pepper shakers as the black tokens and the salt shakers as the white tokens… and play checkers, a conversational piece."

Original Mom!

 

 

 

Clever idea for a checkered board

 

 

I imagined putting the checkered tile in my suitcase and taking it home.

If it didn't weigh as much as a small child I might.

    I was envisioning them as chess pieces, although none shown seems to resemble a knight. Oh well…
