Pinterest, of course, has been a great source of inspiration. 

First project on the list? Hooks for our coats & bags!! We decided to bring some color into our house, so we ended up deciding on a green coat holder. 

      1. Pick out 3-4 hooks, paint/primer, & a 4 foot piece of wood (we went with 1 inch thick), you'll also need 4 2 3/4 inch screws.

       2. First paint/prime the board. Be sure to let it dry over night before mounting. After 2 coats of primer the board needed 3 coats of valspar paint. 

        3. Screw the board into the wall. Be sure to mount it to studs! I left this job for my hubby. 

         4. Screw hooks equal lengths apart to the board. Also, hubby's job. 

It was incredibly easy. And very cute. 

          2. Take glass out of frame.

          3. Clean & Spray paint frame whatever color you want.

          4. Clean glass and spray with chalkboard paint according to directions.

           5. Let dry, put together, hang.
