I am Hooked on These Shoes!

6:00:00 AM

I thrifted this great pair of vintage wooden shoe stretchers...

I thought they'd make great unique wall hooks...

This part was just crying out to be a hook...

And the Brooks Brothers agreed...

Step one was to hinge them together because they

bent in half easily...

I thought they should be monogrammed with

my husband and my initials so I used stickers as my stencils...

I stuck on the stickers and traced around them...

Then I painted inside the lines.

The next step was to distress the letters to match the old wood...

I added a hanger to the top of the shoes
and they were ready to hang...

I hope you're hooked too!

I love to repurpose cast-offs into one of a kind treasures. I like to think outside of the box and I hope to bring a new creative perspective to others.

Nice! To distress the letters - did you just sand lightly or do something else?

Hey Susan - fabulous idea! I have to steal this one!

I have tried to reach you - guess you were busy. We live near each other - you had asked me about Chalk Paint and I emailed you back where I bought mine.

Send me an email, OK? I'd like to see if could start a Long Island Bloggers Meet Up. Would you be interested?
