A couple of weeks ago I wrote this post. Click here if you missed it. I was talking about Christmas decorations and how I had to make a new way to hang our stockings this year since we have a new addition to our family. I got the idea from Char over at Crap I’ve Made. She made her stocking hanger using a cabinet door she got really cheap at a home improvement store. Well, I knew I didn’t have any old cabinet doors left from our kitchen remodel. (Darn it! I knew I should have kept those for something!) And I didn’t want have time to go to Home Depot or Lowes. Then it hit me. I remembered Nicky over at Momma Gets Real had turned this….
into this! It’s an advent calendar.
Well, I tried to link you to her post. For some reason blogger won't let me link the specific post. If you want to see Nicky's post. Go to her blog and find her post called Operation Christmas DIY: Take 2.
Well, I looked all over the house wondering if there was something I could refurbish. Then I remembered I had bought a wall hanging at Ross that I had never hung. So here is my transformation! I’m so excited.
BEFORE
It had red hearts on it before I took a picture. I took those off. Sanded it. Spray painted it. Added some vinyl lettering. Bought green polka dotted knobs at Hobby Lobby. Wes screwed those in for me. Here is the finished product!
AFTER
And here it is hung up on the wall with our stockings. I love it!
So thank you Char and Nicky for inspiring me. I’m so happy with the final product. What do you think?
