Hanging Rack for the Entryway
Before we went to California, I bought a set of these cool vintage date nails from the Knick of Time Etsy shop.
I recently used this image in the post I did about my 49th birthday. Pretty awesome coincidence that she just happened to send me the 49 : )
I've been following Angie's blog and shop for over a year and her creativity is always inspiring. She's one of my "junk idols"!
I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to use them for, but recently it became obvious to me that our entryway needed some t.l.c. and a little organization. I decided to use the date nails to create a hanging rack out of the top piece of a vintage crib panel.
I picked up two curbside crib panels several years back. One became a chalkboard {currently in my living room}
The other one I took apart and used some of the parts to make the backdrop for my electric fireplace. I was left with this top section and the center panel (I have a plan for that, too).
I attached two D-ring hangers to the back. I pre-drilled the holes for the nails a bit so I wouldn't crack the wood, then carefully hammered them in until they felt firmly in place. I didn't get the angles all perfectly matched, but you know that doesn't bother me.
Super easy! My son is a little bummed because he thought I might be using those nails for some hanging space in his room, though. Who knows, maybe I'll get another set. ;)

I'm loving our new hanging space in the entryway. Now to figure out how to handle the ever-present pile of shoes-hmm...
I'll be sharing the rest of the entryway and stairs area in my next post, so be sure and come back soon.
Thanks so much for reading, friends!

Autumn Entryway (More Fall Love-Sickness...sigh)
Falling in love again...what am I to do? I can't help it....
Consider yourself fortunate you can't hear me singing it.
So, I have a little antique dresser in my entryway that I recently painted. It was looking pretty cute, except that (you know how this is) it started to become the junk-dropping spot. Library books, mail, toys...a shoe? What the heck? Today I decided to give it some much needed attention with a little Fall love.
My friend gave me these lovely chippy candlesticks for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. And the log piece came from someone's firewood pile {sshhh}
I wasn't kidding when I told you that nature is art in our home. Cover your firewood, people : )
Last Fall my oldest daughter got married and we collected and pressed these gorgeous oak leaves for decorating the ceremony and reception. Yesterday I made a little hanging leaf banner out of them simply by tying some twine around each stem. Simple, natural, my favorite kind of decorating for Autumn!
Thechunk of firewood natural log pedestal serves as a display stand for some of our collected bird's nests.
My little leaf banner hung on a vintage window. Sweet memories!
There you have it. I love that you come in the front door to a little moment of Fall happiness before you walk around the corner and have to see the dishes! -haha- Grab on to every bit of Autumn deliciousness you can, my friends!
