Handmade Hat Rack

Did I ever show you guys my awesome new hat rack?

Please ignore all the belts...

I had an awkward space in my room. My jewelry box used to be there but I moved it... It just needed...something. I decided I wanted a hat rack.

Gary scoured the city looking for a cute hat rack. He actually found one...but it was made from a tree branch (cool) but didn't look very sturdy (not cool). Then, he decided to make me one from scrap wood. We went to World Market together to pick out the hooks.

There area few different colors of hooks.

Here's the base.

It looks pretty cute with hats on it.

Anyway, I love how it turned out and it fills the space perfectly!

We were thinking about staining it in the spring, but I think I like the used, rustic look.

Aren't I lucky?

Kitchen Facelift

I've been wanting to paint the kitchen for awhile. It was yellow. Some of the paint was chipping and starting to look, well...old. We didn't have any touchup paint. I would have been fine painting over the yellow with another yellow, but we decided for a change. We spent Saturday morning giving our kitchen a makeover!

Here's a few before photos:

Getting started:

Like my fashionable pants? They had a huge hole so I wouldn't be sad if they got paint on them...

First coat

Almost finished!

Done!

Voila!

I love it.

Total facelift? $14.97 (one can of paint).

Ooooh yeah!
