Hey y’all! I’m back!! I started a new full time job in
December, and things have been crazy! I now have a daily commute, so time for
projects has been limited. But, I do have a few new things to share and I’m
hoping to post them all in a semi-timely manner!
I decided to start things off in this renewal of posting by
starting with another Pinspiration for you. I saw this pin (a project by Gina over at Shabby Creek Cottage).
I thought it was a great idea since my hubby is forever looking for his keys. The instructions are pretty straight forward. I used a board from the Menards odds and ends bin ($1.79!) I bought the pipe straps and coat hooks there as well. I opted for 1 inch straps instead of the ½ inch Gina suggested, mostly because I like big sunglasses and I have many pairs. I liked the copper straps, but none of the coat hooks Menards had matched. Instead, I bought the cheapest nickel plated ones and spray painted them with metallic copper paint I had on hand. I think they match pretty well.
I ended up painting my board off white and then dry brushing it with gold chalk paint. I think it turned out pretty good. It's got just a hint of a metallic sheen. Here’s the final project all loaded up:
And here it is in the entryway next to another former Pinspiration project:
What do you think? I think it was a fast, easy and satisfying project. Don’t settle for dull, live a refinished life!
p.s. Sorry the pictures are a little dark and off-colored, I tried multiple ways to get these to turn out, but I've never been able to get decent pictures in my entryway!
