Hooked on collage?

Time to paint the porch which has always been original bricks. But now that the house is painted, demanded a makeover too! 


An inexpensive set of hooks has been used for children's coats, but I couldn't bring myself to put it back on the wall without a makeover of its own, so I covered it in cute paper. 


A wash of gold guache adds a special something and looks aged. 


The edges of the paper have been sanded. Difficult to photograph but looks superb! Try it next time to are altering furnature and so on ...


The plated hooks are gently worn from use but that's fine for my purposes and I screw them all back on with glee!


Finally back on the wall! Hooks that make me happy and suit all the little coats that get hung here ...
