Pottery Barn Hockey Display Stand

I was looking through the Pottery Barn Teen catalog

when I saw this picture of a boy's bedroom dressed in hockey decor.

What caught my eye about this picture,

was the hockey player stand to the left of the bookshelves.

Hmmmm, how can I make one of those for my little hockey obsessed son?

I have 2 hockey obsessed son's but I had the younger one in mind.

I'd file this idea in a little cranny in my brain for later.

One day,

Guadalupe and the Cubana called,

they were at Goodwill(GW)

and I was in the neighborhood so I stopped in to see them.

While they were sitting around acting like they owned the place,

I saw this little coat stand.

You see where I'm going with this?

I paid $6.00 for it and brought it home to my hi-tech,

spray painting station.

I gave it a couple coats of black paint.

When it dryed,

I sent Carson out to find some of his outgrown hockey equipment.

Helmet, chest protector,

skates and a stick.

Smiling ear to ear,

he put it in his room,

added the equipment,

and displayed it like this.

Just like Pottery Barn,

only a lot less.

As for the Cubana...

she bought this frame for $.99.

If you take into account my price per use formula,

this frame has already paid for itself!

Gotta love GW,

and I'm just going to end it with this...
