Other Kitchen Projects

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.  DSC_1386-2

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. DSC_1450-2

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!DSC_1389-2

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.DSC_1474DSC_1447-2

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!

  1. 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.
