BEHOLD!!!! The completion of my project!!
Last night, I took the kiddo to Home Depot, we picked out two 1 x 2 boards, black spray paint, and some screws. Then across the street we went to Walmart and bought some clips to glue onto the finished boards. After putting munchkin to bed, I sanded the boards and spray painted them.
This morning I awoke to my dry, black boards. I sanded the edges for a little weathered look. Then I drilled a small hole through both boards on both sides. THEN, I drilled a larger hole that would allow the top of the screw to recess into. Patrick was kind enough to help me screw them into the wall, while I made sure they were level with our handy level (DAMN, that thing is handy!!)
THEN, I super glued the clips onto the boards ten inches apart. AND VOILA!!!
I had some artwork that I had saved on the fridge (a little old, but still special) and here you go! Finished product in use!!! Seriously....HOW cute is that???
Our company will be so impressed by Kellen's masterpieces, they will turn right around and deposit money into his College Fund piggy bank!!
So, now what's next you ask? (Or maybe you didn't ask, but I'm gonna tell you anyways.) I have another idea that I have on my Pinterest site that I'm all ready to tackle. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about.
I just want to paint the room a color similar to this, and we already have a grayish tone paint. And I love the white stripe with the hooks! Genius! Now, I wish I had the front loaders...but that'll have to wait. They also have the cabinets (which I don't have) painted with chalkboard paint. Not sure I would do that. Anyhoos....off to go test some paint colors on the laundry room wall!! :)
