Today was a hot one. It’s the first time this summer that the actual temperature hit 100 degrees. Of course, I decided that it would be the perfect day to rearrange my metal flowers. Because of this I had a big blank space that really needed something there. When we were in Dollar Tree I had seen this hanging shelf (awful quality so I didn’t get it) but it gave me an idea.

I have had this sign for what seems like forever. I guess at one time many, many moons ago I went through my live, laugh, love stage. I liked the shape of the sign and always though I could repurpose it. I sanded off the words, stained it with dark walnut and drilled holes in the corners. I already had some rope so I just threaded it through and added some jump rings.

It works perfectly for what I was wanting and I already had everything to make it so it was basically free. I was going to take the metal hanger things off, but I have plans for hanging somethings from them.

I think it turned out pretty good.
