Thrift store shopping: it's so much fun and you find the weirdest and most wonderful things. Every time. A few weeks ago I found this black wooden star for $1. Yes $1!!! I also found a cute little upholstered stool and its lid opens up (the kids love it), and a macrame plant hanger. A good haul in my opinion.
I moved some things on my walls to make room for a new-to-me antique hoosier cupboard (more on that in a future post) and that meant I had to get rid of my peg hook where I hung keys before (a garage sale find). After searching Homesense for a replacement, unsuccessfully I might add, this idea came to me.

| My $1 wooden star(!) and some hooks I removed from walls of the farmhouse when we moved in. |
 |
| Drawing my design on. I used the idea here for inspiration. |
 |
| Painting the design with acrylic paint - a work in progress. |

| The finished design. |

The hooks I decided to use. Then I laid them out and marked the positions on the star. I just had to hand screw them in.

The finished product.

I always keep picture hanging supplies around and it was simple to install this one.
And now I have a one of a kind key hook that cost me $1, and completed it with things I already had around the house.
