show and tell.

I have had this very old frame-saw for about a year now and haven't really liked how I had it before (photo here) so I repurposed it in our new place. we needed somewhere to hang coats & jackets by the front door but I didn't just want plain hooks on the wall. so, here is my solution. I'm loving it.

first, I put this piece of old ikea fabric on the wall, the same size as the frame-saw...

then, I hung the frame-saw over it, and hung these hooks.. tah-dah!

this would look just as great with just a simple frame, in fact, Jared would probably prefer that... he's not a fan of me hanging this rusty old saw on the wall and I don't blame him. maybe I'll just make sure that it's really securely hung when there are little ones running around!
