What do you do when you are awake at 6:30 am with nothing to do? Obviously, go to Home Depot. Oh is that just me? Yup, ok.
Our new closet is huge and amazing and my happy place, (it walks through between the bedroom and the bathroom with double doors). However, I've never been satisfied with any type of scarf storage. I've seen so many ideas, most of them using shower rings, but those don't work as well for infinity scarves, which I happen to have a lot too many of. I could always unclick the shower ring and re-click it to put the infinity scarves on, but then they'll just slide around on whatever hanger I put them on. I'll let my girl below tell you how I feel about that.
I have this pretty large empty wall that was just BEGGING me to hang some sort of accessories on it. Can't you hear it? It has my favorite paintings on it now, but I plan to raise them a little higher and put both a jewelry display (currently in the works), and the scarves, in three rows.
Materials:
Wood: 3.29
Hooks: 4.49
Paint: Had on hand.
You barely need any paint so whatever you have will work. Or none, if you prefer that look!
I started with 3 pieces of wood that are 3/4" thick, 1.5" wide and 12" long. I measured out my hooks, each 2 inches apart, before I painted so that I wouldn't leave any marks. I tapped the pointed edge of the hooks in so that I would be able to see where they belonged once I painted.
I painted it gold before I realized that gold would look terrible with the gold hardware I bought. My first layer of paint really thin so it still shows quite a bit of the wood grain and I actually loved how it looked with the solid gold hooks. Happy Accident!
I painstakingly started to screw in the hooks, (seriously my finger has hurt all day. First world problems), wished I had pliers to use, contemplated going to buy pliers, and finally just "manned up" and made it work.
Lets all pretend that the middle one isn't awkwardly uneven with the rest of them. Thanks guys.
This is what it looks like with scarves on it! I'm beyond please with my project. It was crazy easy and quick. Although I say that now, while one row is finished and the other two are staring at me from the coffee table begging to be created. I can't wait to get these 100% completed and on the wall. Just in time for scarf season!
Except not, because it's September and we have way too many 100 degree days between now and scarf season.
And because no post is complete with out a picture of my fluffy little helper, here's your daily share of adorable-ness.
