I've been busy...

working on little house projects that have been FREE to complete! Aren't those the best kind?

I guess I am officially on a chalkboard kick. I painted over an ugly picture that I had stored away in a closet to make this first chalkboard. I didn't like the frame either so I painted it white and then Matt distressed it. We are working on a little side table to match that we've had in our garage for two years. We bought it for a steal at Bargain Bazaar. I love how this turned out.

I got this idea from Pinterest. I fell in love with it because "It is well with my soul" is probably my favorite hymn or at least one of them. I especially love when Selah sings it. :) Matt might kill me for sharing this, but he actually painted one and I did the other. We wanted it to have meaning and it was really fun crafting together for once. Haha!!

I also had this little frame and printed out a special verse to go in it. The frame has a hint of light blue in it, and I love it! All of these projects were for the same room.

I love gold framed chalkboards, just ask my Mama. :) I think they're the best! So when I found this frame on clearance at Hobby Lobby I had to get it. I knew it would eventually become a chalkboard. I had some cardboard that fit perfectly so that became the chalkboard. We hung it in our kitchen and I am going to write the VSU football schedule on it. I saw that idea on Pinterest as well. You could also write a menu on it, or a cute saying for the season that you're in. I am not talented at chalkboard art and I don't like writing with chalk. I prefer the chalkboard pens...but they can be hard to remove, so I'll just stick with my plain writing for now. Does anybody know if they sell chalk that has a point?

I rearranged some frames and a letter W that I took off of a wall.

I moved all my perfume onto an old cakestand that I got at Freckled Frog in Dublin before we got married.

I also framed our Charleston print and our wedding invitation.

I still have several things that I'm working on. I also have a long list of school related things I want to complete, so I have them organized in two baskets. I find that I always use my stairs to store things. I need to break that habit!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! We are starting ours off by eating dinner with a group of our best friends that we haven't seen in over a month! I can hardly wait!!!
