MEMO BOARD DIY

photo

I was recently reading one of the newest posts via lemondroplife.com and I saw where she had made over a basic cork board into a fun memo board to store all of her bloggy ideas. I instantly fell in love with how simple yet fun this project was! I was actually so inspired, I went out that same day and purchased my own cork board and got right to work! ;-) I hope all of you enjoy making this project as much as I did.

Items Needed:

  • Cork Board {any size}
  • Painters Tape
  • Spray Paint

How To:

1. I started by putting all four pieces of the cork board side by side and taping off the desired design with painters tape. {Find the design lemondroplife.com used HERE.}

2. Then I painted over the tape using the spray paint as seen below. {I used the one to prevent rust because it has a grittier texture that I found works great on the cork board. Regular spray paint is fine though!}

3. Once it was completely dry, I pulled off the tape to find nice crisp, clean lines! Woo-hoo!

4. Now it was time to display it! The cork board actually comes with mounting tape so they make it easy-peasy to pop onto the wall!

I love the pizzazz it adds AND it’s great to post all of my bloggy ideas onto! :-)

Have a good day!

Kiddy Corner

Ah, I’ve missed you guys!!! I’m stoked I finally have a moment to reconnect with all of you DIY-ers! :) It seems we have been in full speed for weeks now and I love it but it’s wonderful to get back into my little bloggy world.

Hubs, baby and I recently visited the IMA {Indianapolis Museum of Art}. It is one of my favorite places to go! Besides all of the insaaaane creativity these people display in their art, it is one of the most INSPIRING and PEACEFUL places to hike/walk/relax/picnic {you get the point}. I went a little crazy with taking nature pics {hubs was wayyy over it :-D } but I wanted to share some with you spectacular peeps so you can experience it too!

{Oops, how did that get in there :-D -guilty-}

Well, well, well…where to start?! I have been working on quite a few projects but I can’t seem to put enough focus onto one project to finish it {ughhh}. I keep bouncy around starting projects but leaving them… unfinished. This is totally out of my character so it’s driving me crazy but I can’t stop myself! LOL. I was rackin’ my brain of which project I should share first..”the unfinished deck? nah”, “the unfinished bohemian room? not yet”, “or our helpless laundry room that is screaming MAKEOVER”. This is what I came up with. This one is simple but cute. I did this for my little girls room {needless to say she is too young to appreciate it yet BUT by golly, she’ll will LOVE it one day….even if it is years from now ;-) }.

I draped some furry fabric {because anything furry = everything cozier} over a tension rod to create a little nook. Once it was draped I nailed the fabric underneath and cut the center into two pieces to make it look like curtains. Last, I tied ribbons around the sides to complete it, threw in a couple pillows and toys and BOOM ->kiddy corner… accomplished. What kid doesn’t love their very own hiding spot? One day...yes, one day {probably many years from now} my child will love me for this :) .
