Many years ago, I purchased this calendar holder at a craft show. Originally it was stained oak. Back then everything was stained. About a year ago, I painted it white. Although I hung it back up, I still wasn’t happy with it. I thought about just getting rid of it but I like having a calendar. So with that being said I changed a few things.
I added a decorative accent to the top and used black as my accent color. I removed the pegs and replaced them with black hooks.
I like it now. It went from blah to aah. I love calendars! I think they add instant art to your walls.

ReplyDeleteI love that little thing-a-ma-jig! I like having a calendar, but don't like how they have one tiny hole in the center to hang it and then the corners end up falling down. I use a clipboard...but it just isn't purdy!
I think I have just the right piece to construct a calendar thing-a-ma-jig!
I'm inspired. Thans for sharing.
Looks like a different one. Nice
