DIY Part II

So I finished painting the room light grey, it looks great with the white trim.  Take a look and you be the judge.  I also like grey as a neutral it goes with all wood types and most colours.

Remember thse trays I spray painted?  You can get trays on ETSY, http://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/IsabelsVintage, where I got them or thrift stores or you may have somelaying around the house.  Well I took each one and nailed it to the wall with one nail in the center.  You can take paint and paint over the nail colour to match the tray or do what I did.....put a magnet over it :)

 

 So I took some fabulous Magnets I got on ETSY, FunkysChunkies.ETSY.com, and put them on the trays....Voila my own message board area to keep important information on cutom orders, upcoming events or just fun pics of the family.  You can always change up the magnets according to the season, holidays your decor...I love Hallowe'en as you can tell:)

Part III to come; a funky cork board used as art not as a message board!!

COMING SOON DIY

I am working on a DIY project in my office/craft room.  I am painting the office to begin with a nice soft grey.  I purchased some old metal trays on ETSY, http://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/IsabelsVintage,  and I have spray painted them black and white.   This DIY project will be coming this week. Was hoping to get it all done today but I have aggrevated an old hand injury while painting, ooops, so it will be this week sometime. 
Cannot wait to show you.  Here are some of the pre shots!!!

Room before, a way too loud Turquoise colour!!

Taping up the trim, good tape job = great paint job take your time

Learning as I go

So I am home on a rainy day avoiding my chores, the floors, laundry and just straightening up.  Of course I go online to kill time! I am reading about all these fancy google products that I am now on and have no clue to use them  lol.  Secondly I am always listening to tunes.

 

I dare you to be unhappy and not move and groove to this song.  As cheesy as the video is and well heck the whole song, it is a fun!  I have uploaded or is it downloaded it to my playlist and I shall play it and smile! I will also clean the darn house too while shaking my butt!!!
Enjoy my friends
