{DIY} Dry Erase Board

DIY project inspired by PINTEREST!  This project is SO easy and can be used in so many different ways - grocery lists, calendars, a kid's drawing board, or to-do lists.  My board is used to keep me on task, grocery lists, and a place to jot down quick notes when they pop into my head.

This is the one I saw on Pinterest that inspired me to create my own dry erase board by Little Birdies.  

Below is the one I created!  You could use scrapbook paper, leftover scraps of wallpaper, or even wrapping paper.  I used some leftover fabric I had laying around the house.

 If you're not feeling crafty, let me make one for you.

{MY HOME} It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

It's our first Christmas in our new home for me and my fiance!  I was anxious to decorate, buy a new tree, and craft Christmas ornaments.  My goal was to keep my Christmas decor fit in seamlessly with my existing decor.  I used the same color palette of my house (blues and grays) with a pop of RED!  Everything has a vintage, hand-made feel to it as well.  I just LOVE how it turned out!

 

Cheap gift bags from Target turned into Christmas art! 

HAND-MADE TREE DECOR:

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

{MY HOME} Pretty Things

Just something pretty to look at on this cold day! 

Beautiful flowers from a fall wedding I attended this past weekend.

I ALWAYS (or try to) have fresh flowers in my home! 

Fresh flowers are a STAPLE for when I design someone elses home as well.

{MY HOME} POWDER ROOM

I can't believe I haven't posted anything about my NEW HOME yet!!  Probably because it is still a work in progress until after the wedding (priorities!) but here is a sneak peak of how the powder room is coming along!  

You usually don't spend a lot of time in a half bath, so go BOLD!!  This is where you can be creative or try something new.  For me, that was a bold new paint color!

Have you seen these AMAZINGLY modern, cute little yellow flowers?!?  They make me smile! :)  And yes, they WILL make an appearance at my wedding!

{GOODWILL HUNTING}

If you know anything about me, I love "hunting" at Goodwill to see what I can find and turn it into something new and creative! The HUNT of treasures, all the future craft projects, recycle, upcycle, or a decent blazer here and there gets me Goodwill hunting more often than not.  Not so much the smells; lets look past that part!  Let's just say, I know where all the Goodwills are in a 15 mile radius of my house! :)

Have you seen these?

Thousands of pages of craft projects...for only $2.50!  That I can handle! :)

If you're not artistic enough to sketch or paint right on the dictionary pages, you can feed them right through your printer for the same effect. 

 

 Endless possibilities...where should I start?
