You can see the cats have been helping me rough it up over the years too by scratching at the legs.

It’s me we’re talking about here..I hot glued it.. And it worked great!.

…until Kennedy saw it and was all “Oooh!A door knocker!” and had to go and actually use the darn thing.. OK, so the hot glue didn’t work so well, but at least now I know it.look great when I get around to actually attaching it for real to the door.

By that, I mean when Chris does.. For some reason, people seem to think my mud room looks too nice in pictures and sometimes they find it hard to believe that I should really call it a mud room.Here’s the room for real.

With actual mud in it.

Also, you can’t see it, but there are about 4 giant trash bags waiting to go out to the garage sitting on the floor just outside of the frame.There are a ton of really great DIY solutions that I could do to dress this door up, but we’re planning on changing it out eventually and actually moving it so that the doorway goes into the bedroom a couple of feet and leaves a little alcove there in the dining room.

The bedroom is big and the dining room is small, so it makes sense.Anyway, I may still fancy the door up one day if inspiration strikes but for now, I just decided to stick a wreath on it to fill some of that blank space and call it done.

So that’s the story of where the need for this bow came from..I thought it would be neat if I could try to figure out a way to make a nice bow out of some of the really cute fabrics that I have in my stash and I’m pretty excited with what I came up with!.
