***Please pardon the wonky line spacing of late. Can't seem to fix it.***
I set a goal for myself to start (and finish!) one home project a day this week. Breaking it down to one project and one day really helped me from feeling overwhelmed by the LONG list of stuff I'd like to tackle this summer. So, without further ado, here's what I accomplished (and please forgive my poor photography skills)...
Monday: Turn these bifold closet doors in the craft/playroom...
...into this giant chalkboard!
Tuesday: {okay, I cheated a little bit here. I counted rehanging those doors as a project. I didn't feel too guilty about it as it was a far more daunting task than I had originally expected.}Wednesday: I finally painted the cabinets in my laundry room. I had some paint leftover from painting my front door last summer. To make up for Tuesday's laziness, I actually rehung the doors before considering this project complete. Although if you want to get super technical about it, I need to drill holes for my new knobs (cute orange glass Anthropologie knobs via Wall's).
Thursday: The easiest project of all was to hang these cute handpainted vintage plates in my kitchen. I should have taken a closer shot of them. It's a couple named Charles and Betty. I found them at one of my favorite thrift stores in Tulsa for 79 cents each!
Friday: I have recently discovered the joys of Pinterest and repinned a fabulous pic of a magnetized board for displaying makeup and decided to tweak the general idea a bit by hanging the Ikea magnetic knife strip I've had for a few months now. My makeup routine is pretty basic so I just have a few compacts of powder, blush, and eye shadow but they just litter my teeny tiny vanity area. After hanging the knife strip vertically I glued magnets to the back of each compact, slapped them on the strip and voila! Genius...
With the relative success of this week's projects (and the satisfaction that comes with crossing stuff off my list) I think I may just continue this new not-so-procrastinating version of myself next week. Wish me luck!
