After my gallery wall, I decided to redo some other things in my kitchen to spruce it up a little.
First, the knife block---YAWN.
Inspired by this knife block I saw on Pinterest, I spray-painted it and added a vinyl letter B. I loved the green one I saw, but since my walls are already green, I thought I’d better chose a different color! I still may go back and make it look a little distressed.
Then I took this sign that I got for $2 at the Quilted Bear 3 years ago and decided to make a whole new sign!
I think it turned out pretty cute, but I’m still not sure that it’s completely done. I may go back and change it.
And lastly, I decided my fridge needed to be cleaned up. I’ve grown tired of the mish-mash of kid magnets and miscellaneous papers on there.
Goodbye extra magnets, papers and misc! I redid my “What’s for Dinner?” sheet (see the original one here) and then I added 3 magnetic frames/dry erase boards (like this one here). One for a menu, one for a shopping list and a 3rd for a To Do. Then we will feature ONE piece of artwork of Lukes until he gets another one. The old ones will be put in a book (for now). Less clutter is so much better!
I love it when the little updates make a big difference!
Great projects! I really like how your block turned out. I decided about a week ago that I'm not allowed to pin anything new on Pinterest unless I've actually done a project from Pinterest in the last couple of days. It's nice motivation :-) Maybe my knife block will be my next one.
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative! That's so cute. I never would've thought to decorate my knife block, but it adds so much life to the kitchen!!! Cool!!!
