I am sorry that this is ANOTHER post about pinterest but I just can't help but LOVE that site! Having said that, I want you to know before Pinterest I did do some pretty neat things/ideas on my own! ha! :) Please don't judge me :)
The most being Avery's Big Girl Room:
Painted dots on a white picture frame.
I painted this lamp & added the circles on the shade and painted her initial blocks.
Hot glued ribbon to her hamper.
And I didn't want to mess with trying to hang these by the 2 holes in the back (I DESPISE IF THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE HOLE!) so I cut ribbon, hot glued to back of each letter, tied in a knot and wa-la!
This is one of my favorite ideas...this is a quilt rack that I got as a gift in 1990!!! I painted it and use it to hold my jeans!
I thought of this on my own too....basic shelf, I added nails (to be exact they are called hard cut masonry) to hang my necklaces from. I also did this to a shutter in nursery to hang hats, etc. from.
This is also another of my ideas for my scarves, I got a peg shelf and hung it on the back of a closet door.
I got these CUTE containers at Amish Country Peddler where I work (yes we just got them in). You can write on them! BTW that is the print I did then ordered it on canvas.
Now for Pinterest ideas:
They showed various ways to store your ribbon but I found this hanger also at ACP and it works PERFECT!
I loved this idea! I got this paper towel holder at Wmart for $2.37. It's perfect for bracelets and I added a couple watches. Now I can actually see my bracelets vs them being in a basket!
Another project I'm having put on canvas. Thanks Janna/pinterest for the idea!
Ok not sure if this was on pinterest but I saw this at my friends house couple weeks ago and thought how cute and easy (not to mention CHEAP) that would be to make! Got the butterfly already painted at Wmart for $.53 and I had the ribbons, just hot glued them on.
so cute and Avery loves it too b/c now we can see and find the matching hair clips.
I'm tired of constantly picking stuff up, yelling, spanking Avery (which BTW isn't working) so Janna had done these (thanks pinterest!) so I made one for Avery. She loves it. It's a chore chart! Very cheap to make too.
I figure if I'm making one might as well make two and Alex needs to start earning her keep! :)
So for during her chores and going above and beyond Avery gets to put gems in her jar. Once filled she gets a cheap surprise. So far this is working like a gem (hardeee-har-har!) I let her put several in at a time since it will take forever, however is she's naughty or doesn't listen then I take some out! I came up with this on my own out of desperation.
Well there you have it! I hope I've given you some good ideas to help make your life easier!
