Easy Kitchen Art

April 27, 2010 by Aliesha

As I mentioned in my post last night, I spent a little time working on an art project for the kitchen. I cut scrapbooking paper to fit the inside of these acrylic box frames (they stick out from the wall about an inch), popped the paper in, put the back on, stuck a few nails in the wall, and hung them up! The project took ten whole minutes, and that includes the time I spent hammering nails. The cost was minimal as well, since the frames were on clearance for $.79 each. The paper was $.99/sheet, which I thought was kind of expensive for scrapbooking paper, but I used less than 1/4 of each sheet, so I have lots leftover for card making or other projects.

Totally easy project! Now I don’t have to look at a blank wall while I wash dishes! And, if I get tired of this “look,” I can easily swap out the paper for something else (pictures, other paper, quotes, Bible verses, etc.). Fun!

Project Night!

April 26, 2010 by Aliesha

Tad and I are working on projects tonight! He is working on making this table, I’m working on assembling a bamboo shelf for the kitchen and also making some art for the wall above the kitchen sink.

We’ll post all about our adventures later, but until then, enjoy some “fixes” from thereifixedit.com.

What projects are you working on currently?
