Necklace Board!
x-posted to my own journal (directions on how to DIY this beauty for yourself are also there)
The glue will take another 24 hours or so to fully cure, but at this point I have a functional, hanging, necklace board. This is so much nicer than having my necklaces hang off the corner of my mirror. Besides getting tangled it just looked janky. SO. Photos, ho!
This is right after I glued on the glass tiles and screwed in all those doggone hooks. Might I recommend pliers? They will save your fingers, big time. Hooks are about 1 inch apart.
All hung up! As you can see, there is definitely room to grow my collection.
I like these photos better because it really highlights the reddish undertones in the stain. I absolutely love this kind of colour... I don't know if you can tell from the photos, but the stain is almost the same colour as the jewelery box that I bought years ago.

This is gorgeous. Where did you get those glass tiles? I've never seen anything like them before and they're GORGEOUS. I love the dark stain. I've always been a sucker for dark wood. ^_^ VERY well done.
By the way, well done on those hooks. O_o Even with half-dead hands they're very even.

I got the tiles from Home Depot, in the area where they have the floor tile and the kitchen backsplash tiles. This is from a backsplash set -- it came with webbing attached to the back, so I had to strip it off before I used it but it came off pretty easily. :) They have another set that I almost wish that I had gone with... Instead of the darkest brown tiles there was a light green colour... it was gorgeous! But I don't have much green in my room, so I just stayed with the brown. They have quite a few tile sets there, I'm sure you'll find something you like!
Haha, I think the hooks are terribly uneven.. but then again, I put them in so I can see when I'm off by a smidge. There's not much I could really do about it, though. But I'm glad that to other people it looks even! :)
