numbered hooks

...and finally the After photo of my frames (well one of them, anyway)...

Here are the before photos to refresh you...

I painted the framed pieces, printed out numbers in a font I liked and transferred them onto the board (I simply used a lead pencil and covered the back of the outline and then traced over the front of the number with a pencil - leaving a mark underneath), measured and drilled holes and added little door handles (raw pine). It cannot hold heavy things because the wall where I wanted it doesn't have studs in the right place. I am planning just to use it for aprons, hats and other do-dads for each family member. I simply attached mine to the wall (laminate wall near our kitchen) with a strong, double-sided tape.

Presenting - the after shots...

As for the other two matching frames - have thought about opening an Etsy shop and making a few to sell as well as other bits and pieces I make from time to time... might be a bit too ambitious for me at the moment....

Until next time Laubovas!

We have really enjoyed having some Czech friends (mother and daughter) come and stay with us briefly before and after travelling around Australia. We have had lots of laughs together, enjoyed some great photos of places in our very own country we have never seen.

Here we are enjoying a last meal out before they headed home.
