My Vintage Hat Rack Has a New Home



In my cottage back in Idaho, my vintage hat rack was in the front entry.
You can see how it looked here.  I decided it needed a new home in this house,
so I moved it to the back hall off the breezeway that leads to the garage.
And here is how it looks now.




 I hung it above the jelly cabinet that I painted this past summer.
Remember that cabinet?  It used to look like this.






Now it is additional pantry space.  Who doesn't need more pantry space?



If I made jams and jellies I would store them here, but I never have had the time
to make my own.  Perhaps one day.





I love these vintage blue jars.  I never use them for storage because I
really like to use them as vases instead.





So here they both are in their new home.  I still have a few things
to add to this hallway.  Like a big chalkboard.  It's my newest
DIY project.  Any notes left for me on this chalkboard
should read ~

Remember to bring your shopping list!

I always go to the store without it ;-)



Okay Bentley ~ do you have any place in mind where 
I should hang the hook that holds your leash???

Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  5. Susan, I love that hat rack, and the jelly cabinet. I would love one here, I'd squeeze it in someplace! And your vintage jars, love them too. If they could talk, what good recipes we'd get. ;-) xo

  11. Great look! The textures of the hats and purse are wonderful contrast to the jelly cupboard. Bentley does deserve his own hook!

  12. Looks great in its new home! I like to use hat racks because there is much texture that one can add with different hats, jackets, or scarves.
