I have a beadboard shelf that I love, but I thought I’d be able to do a little more with it if it had some hooks on it. So I was looking for oil rubbed bronze hooks at Walmart – and I found some! But they were $2 more each than the exact same hook with the bright brass finish.
So what did I do?I bought the cheaper brass hooks for $1.97 each and took them home to doctor them up a little with my newest favourite thing – spray paint (which I didn’t need to buy since I already had plenty of at home!).
My guy taught me this little trick for spray painting the tops of screws – just poke them in cardboard so they stand up nicely.
Couple coats later, and I’m now the proud owner of the more expensive hooks, at the less expensive price!!! And I know it’s only $4 I saved, but it makes me feel good! And there’s a lot you can buy at the dollar store for that much!!!
I screwed them on and now I can do so much more with my shelf – like hang things from it!
It’s a fun little place to decorate for the seasons!
Lovin’ it, lovin’ it!!!
