Which Nose Would You Pick?

A couple of years ago, I found this really neat-o nose-shaped glasses holder/stand at World Market.  One glance at the nose (and the price tag; less than $15) and I was sold.  What can I say?  It was laugh at first sight.  I had the option of buying this glasses holder in either a sleek, shiny black or a natural, wooden brown.  Digging the matchy-matchy look, I opted for black for I thought that it would go perfectly in my all-black-and-white room.

Fast forward to two-ish years later and I am officially over the matchy-matchy, absolutely-everything-in-my-room-has-to-be-either-black-or-white look.  As a result, I decided to modify this glasses holder to go along with my taste now.  I (well, okay...my dad) sanded some of the paint off of the glasses holder in order to give it a rustic, weathered look.

Below are pictures of the glasses holder before I/my dad started sanding as well as the materials I used to do this semi-DIY project (glasses holder, sand paper, box lid - to catch the debris from the sanding of the nose*).  Check back tomorrow to see the final result!

*No cats were harmed in this DIY (ish) project.
