Snow Day

I'm home on a snow day (well really ice, but that doesn't sound very fun) and decided to catch up with ya'll since I'll be busy again next week and the blogging will continue at the slow pace it follows.

So I have a project that I am dying to do. But, not having very many handy-man-like skills I am not sure how to do it. After going in the Madewell store at Northpark mall I was inspired. See because of my job I have tons of necklaces. And I love them all so I want to wear them all, which makes storing them, yet being able to see them all a problem. At the Madewell store they had a wall of vintage cabinet knobs with necklaces hanging from them. GENIUS! I immediately knew I needed a wall like that in my room.

I bought some knobs at Anthropologie. Isn't the bird one cute?

And then I wasn't quite sure what to do next. So I hit the internet. Surely some blogger out there has attempted this project, mastered it, and written out her instructions for the rest of us to follow? Not so much. I haven't found any instructions, and only two pictures showing what I am trying to do.

So then I asked my carpenter uncle how he would do it, his idea to attach them to a wooden board, paint the board the same color as my wall, and then put the board on my wall is a good one. But it isn't the look I'm going for. My perfectionism comes back to haunt me.

My next step will be a trip to Home Depot, armed with the pictures showing what I want and the knobs. If they can't help me I might just have to go rogue and start trying to figure it out myself. If you have any ideas on what to do, let me know before I start drilling holes into my walls. :) Hopefully I will be able to post the finished product soon. Wish me luck!
