It wasn't easy, I'll tell you that much. I went to Home Depot and not to knock them or anything, but does anyone else feel like they are never helpful. I have never had a project where they have helped me. When I asked the worker there what I should do he gave me the same "they have to go in a board that you attach to the wall" thing my uncle had already told me. When I looked at him and said "Well that's not what I want to do." He said good luck and walked off. Good thing I wasn't dealing with a true home improvement emergency.
Determined to figure it out on my own, I bought some chandelier swagging kits (looked like those had tons of options for anchoring items in them) for $2 each and headed home. I got out my drill and after making some scarily large holes in the wall (for the dry wall anchors, thanks for the idea Amanda!) I secured those knobs right into the wall. Board smoard! Those Home Depot guys need to learn how to think outside of the box! Hope you guys like it as much as I do!
Before: Empty wall space BORING (check out my dinosaur of a TV! I've had that thing since high school and it refuses to die)
After: Now this space doesn't look so boring and empty, and it's useful!
I decided on using only these three, although I bought more. Now I get to plan what to do with the other ones I have left over. Hmmm...
My favorite one is the little bird. He's so cute!
They are right next to my closet door for easy outfit accessorizing,
Ok, back to reality. Guess I should go check out the roads again and attempt to navigate the hill. Hopefully someone has gone before me and already cleared the way. Have a great day everyone!
