This is my third and last "Monday Made It" post. Goodbye to lazy summers and hello to school starting!
Oh, I so love my two newest projects. Love, love, love them!
First up: Lovely Curtains
I already showed you my little curtain for my window in the door. I liked it so much that I decided to make curtains for all of my windows. I got the inspiration from here. However, I could not find an adorable plastic tablecloth so I found a paper one I loved and laminated it. (Thanks to Lakeshore and their 29 cents/foot laminating charge, my total cost for tablecloths and laminating came to under $20. Not too bad since I have 34 feet of windows!!!) Yes, my new room is giant-sized and I have windows running the entire length of one long wall! Love, love, love!
...and now onto my favorite of all favorites ... My File Cabinet. True confession: I am in love with my file cabinet!
I got the inspiration from here.
I did not take a before picture so you will have to imagination a perfectly fine, gray file cabinet. Nothing wrong with it at all. But nothing to write home about. Now look at it:
And here is another look:
And a closeup:
Love, love, love, love, love!
First I spray painted the file cabinet. (My beloved custodian hauled it outside for me and then brought it back in the next day when it was dry.) Then I used a white paint pen to draw the lines. I know it looks like a five year old drew those lines, but it was me trying my best! I actually think those crooked old lines look quite charming! So this file cabinet is now, officially, my favorite part of my room.
Be sure to check out the inspiring projects over at Tara's Fourth Grade Frolics!
Love to all,
Camille
