Treasure Hunt Findings

So this morning i decided to load the girls up after breakfast and go the local thrift store.

I went there in search of some white plates for a creative craft i want to try out. Instead staring back at me from the shelf were these
Paid $1.00 for the large one And $.25 for the smaller one.
Now i'm thinking the larger one would be perfect for a shoe bucket in my entry way.
The Smaller one haven't decided yet.

So my question for ya'll is about color!
For the big one should i leave it as is and just paint SHOES on it?
or
Paint is black then SHOES in white lettering?
or
Paint it red (the popular dark red everyone i using in there house..that i'm also using soon on some walls) with SHOES in white or black lettering

My Version

So about a month ago i blogged about wanting a Sunflower Wreath.
This Wreath from Creative Decorations had inspired me
Here is my version

I went to a thrift store and to my surprise found the wreath for $.25 & sunflowers for $.50
