Dress Up Rack


Cinderella Annie (and Belle)


Adorable flower hooks

Finished product

My super creative mom made this "dress up rack" for my precious niece, Annie, to hang her princess dresses on. Mom saw one in a store and decided she could make one herself, and sure enough- she did! It was really very easy and all the materials came from Lowes. She took a white curtain rod and attached a finial on top. Then she screwed the bottom end into a wooden, round base that she painted white (of course, you can paint the base, rod, and finial anyway you choose). Finally, she screwed these adorable flower hooks (they are really curtain tie-back hooks) in various places on the rod. I had more pictures of the process, but I have apparently deleted them, so just enjoy these of the finished product and one of "Cinderella Annie" with her "Belle" doll on Christmas morning.

Studying These Knobs




I'm loving these funky knobs I received from my wonderfully talented friend, Jennifer Chappell (yes, she made them)! Hang your necklaces on the knobs to keep them untangled and in eyesight to coordinate the perfect outfit; use them for hanging a towel or robe in the bathroom. Best of all, they are much more pleasing to hang on your wall than those plastic hooks! Thanks, Jenn!
