DIY Chevron Kitchen Pegboard

Recently saw a DIY pegboard on pinterest and I knew I had to have one! This is the perfect combination of form and function! While this serves as a visual centerpiece in the kitchen it also serves an important function in organizing your pots and pans! While painting a chevron is usually very tricky the fact that a pegboard has all these evenly spaces holes makes it much easier! All you have to do is count up and over and apply your painters tape.

DIY CMYK Engagement Thank You Cards

To celebrate my 5th wedding anniversary, I thought I would blog about some of the various DIY projects. This one is the engagement thank you cards we sent out. Call me a design dork- Yes my wedding colors were CMYK! Besides them being the print colors, they are just really pretty together! So since they are printing colors what better way to showcase them then with a stamp?! I found a pretty thank you stamp and stamped them slightly offset from each other, making sure black was last. Then on the envelope I repeated the same concept with a cute engagement ring stamp.

Garden Design: Form meets Function and Ease- Wooden Pallot Garden Bed

 

Seriously the BEST idea for beginner gardeners like myself.  Using a wooden pallet (you can find them almost anywhere) to create a raised garden bed. Form meets function and ease oh so beautifully here.  Add you do is place the pallet on the dirt and fill it with more soil in all the rows, not only do you have a raised garden bed that is already assembled, BUT you also have a perfect vertical grid set up to plant your vegetables! This is my project for the weekend, but I always gotta put my own spin on it! I plan on painting mine to add a vivid splash of color and to contrast to the plants. Be on the lookout for a post this weekend of my own creation!
