Oh, Happy Day...

Hi Everyone!  I hope you are all having a great day!  First off, I just wanted to let you know that this weekend, three of my remaining puppies went to their forever homes.  Leaving me with one little girl.  She is the smartest of the group and I'm sure we'll find the right home for her soon!

 Now on to my latest project.  I made another Jar/hook wall sign.  This time I went darker.  It's a really nice gray color (it doesn't show up the greatest here).

 I had really wanted to make one with white lettering, but I didn't want to go black with the board, so I thought gray was a nice compromise.

 I painted it white first, then gray, then sanded it to reveal the white.  I hand painted the letters on.  Then added the hooks and the stainless steel clamp to hold the jar.  The board is a scrap piece of baseboard that was recycled from an 1880's home that had been torn down.  I got a lot of that baseboard and have loved giving it a new purpose.  Plus, the best thing of all, it was free!

I really like how it turned out.  The pictures really don't do the color justice.  Thanks for stopping by.

I just couldn't resist....

Hi Everyone!  Happy Friday!  Well, I had to show you my version of the jar attached to the board that I've seen in blogland.  I turned mine into a multi-purpose item.  I added the hooks because you can never have to many hooks, plus I liked the way it looked with stainless steel clamp.  Then of course I had to add a hand painted sign to it.  I like it. 

Showing it here with flowers in the jar.  It would make a nice entry way addition.  You could hang your keys or the dog's leash from the hooks or have it as a place for guest to hang their coats.

It has so many uses and can be used in so many different places.  It can be used below a message center or in a guest bathroom.  And as usual, the board is a scrap piece of the baseboard that came from a 1880's home that was torn down.  Recycle and reuse when ever possible.  The jar came from my grandmother's canning stash so the only thing I had to buy were the hooks (which I actually had left over from another project) and the stainless steel clamp.  Too bad I don't have a place to hang it, yet.....Well, thanks for stopping by.  Have a great weekend!
