DIY Entryway

Alright Pinterest lovers:
How many of you have seen this pin flying around?

I first pinned this about a year ago and have been itching to give it a go ever since. It is the perfect answer to my limited storage dilema in my entryway. Cute storage with no major demolition or construction.  Though I don't have a lot of skills in the power tool department, my other half definitely does! That and math skills. Both were utilized in this little weekend project to take my entryway from boring and messy to fabulously organized.
This is my entryway before:

I painted it blue when we first moved in about 2 years ago but haven't touched it since.

With a bit of measuring and planning, we decided on the spacing of the boards. Matt cut them for me. I then sanded and primed them. When they were dry, he nailed them up. We had a distinct bow in the wall which made it a bit tricky but nothing my hubby couldn't handle.

After some more sanding and some paint, it was time to decorate. 

The pictures are from my sister-in-laws wedding this summer and I thought they were so pretty, I wanted a nice place to display them. I ordered the prints and bought some frames at Dollarama. (The B and Love I already had). I splurged on the hooks (Home depot $7/ea) because I loved the square bases and thought they worked really well on the wall.

And there you have it. A really cute, functional entry way!

I love that when my kids can reach the hooks, they'll be able to hang up their own coats!
