Coat Rack Hanger Thing...

This is another make-over item that used to hang in my old room.

First I had to pry off all those wooden letters of my name. Then I had to scrape off any big chunks of glue and then sand the rest of the glue off. Took forever!

Then I painted it black and Modpodged some decorative tissue paper to the front. The letters are vinyl. Then I bought some hooks at Walmart and voila! I don't know what the technical name for this is though....

Welcome Board

When I was in Young Women's I got this board with President Hinckley's Bs and I've always loved it. But it belongs in a 16-year-old girl's room. Since I'm not 16 anymore and I have a family I thought maybe I could give it a face lift to make it more fitting for our home. (Thanks, Mom, for bringing this up to me.)
Before
Unfortunately, I didn't have the patience to glue on all those letters by hand. Maybe another time I will display Pres. Hinckley's Bs. So after a few coats of paint, some scrapbook paper and Mod Podge here is what hangs in my home now. I heart it.
After!
Stay tuned for another make over of something that would belong to my 16-year-old self!
