earlier this week we had yet another morning of rushing around frantically to find a pair of keys. this usually happens about once a week around here and it kinda starts the day off on the wrong foot. so this time i decided that i had to do something about it.
after some thinking that morning about what i could use to make a key holder i finally decided what i would do.
so... i have this diaper box in our storage closet of things i collect. i keep it to this box or else things would get way out of hand...i'm talking hoarders: buried alive, kind of problems here.
last fall while on a walk with the kiddos i found an awesome chippy board in some weeds.(you can't imagine trevor's face when i brought it home. haha) at the time i thought it would be cute with something painted on it but that never happened so here i am a year later putting it to use!
the hooks came from a purple board thing i got at the DI for $1 that i planned on painting and putting in kellen's room for hats to hang on but now i'll just have to replace those when i get around to that project.
i used a bracket off an old (not being used) shelf that actually had 2 extra on it and nailed it to the back to hang.
added some burlap ribbon and ta-da! our new key holder!
it is taking some getting used to to hang them but they are right next to the door and so far we haven't had any lost keys :)
