Several months ago, I was browsing TJ Maxx and I saw a kids art display that looked a lot like this.
I thought it was really cute, and I love the idea of having a flexible way to display our son's art projects. But...it wasn't really our style. I know the rustic/distressed/weathered look is popular right now, but it's just not us. So I didn't buy it. I figured it would be easy enough to make some day...once we get into our new house and start collecting tools.
Then, a few weeks ago, I saw this one:
Keep in mind, my son LOVES trains. I realized it was better than anything I could make myself, and the blue is a great match for his new room.
Best of all, the train had six cars (including the engine) and Daniel just happens to be six letters long. Easiest. project. ever. All I had to do was add the chip board letters I already had.
He LOVED it!
Today's post was pretty wimpy, heavy on luck and low on project. I think if you had a piece of sanded wood, it would still be pretty easy to make: a little paint, a little vinyl and screwing in the clips.
