Punches, punches and more punches


I have to admit, I am an addict.  I just love my punches.  My addiction began years ago, but certainly hasn't improved since Miss Martha launched her line of the amazing punch around the page punches and more.    OMG, don't even get me started on those deep set punches. But, I have to confess that my problem began more than a decade ago.  I have punches from the 90's.  Can you believe it??  For the storage of those and proper display to be able to see and access, I chose the Crop in Style Punch Pal.  It is a great storage solution, but made for the back of a door.  My room unfortunately has a custom cut door and is very lacking in wall space.  The beat space for my punches sto "hang'was "inside a window".  The roof line is quite the issue and of course I am dealing with dormers and gables.  My DH's solution was to hang from custom drapery rods.  We spray painted the rods to match my hot pink wall ( looks so nice on cricut green wall) and then made sure we attached the rods to the studs.  This is extremely important step as punches have an unbelievable amount of weight. Especially once you get 50 hanging off one rod.  Well, here they are, hope you like it.  It isn't the best, but the certainly is the best solution to our limited wall space and such.  Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!!! Thanks for looking.  Getting super excited as my room is just a few hours away from completion!!!  Wait till you see this window with the valance and not just the honeycomb shade!!!!
