Kitchen Chalkboard | DIY

In my house we have a serious spice issue. The spices are all over the place and constantly on the counter instead of in the cabinet...it drives me nuts. So I decided to make this adorable magnetic chalkboard to go above the stove that will (eventually) have spices jars on it. I purchased 6 little jars to start off with and am going to attach a magnet to the lid. When they are on the chalkboard you can write which spice it is underneath. I also liked it for hanging a recipe that you are making right above the stove. 

To make it I purchased an 11"x16" picture frame from Target. I also purchased a 12"x18" piece of sheet metal from Lowes. I then took the glass out of the frame and put it on top of the sheet metal and traced around it. I used tough kitchen shears to trim the sheet metal to the 11"x16" that I needed. 

I then sprayed the metal with Rust Oleum metal primer and then sprayed it with chalkboard paint.

I also sprayed the picture frame (which was originally black) this great teal color (my favorite color). 

I love how it looks! And maybe this will solve our spice issue (but probably not haha). 

Mmm...my fiancé is making Egglant Parmesan tonight

Wanelo

Have you guys heard of the app/website called Wanelo? {Proceed with caution: Wanelo is extremely addictive} It is basically Pinterest but it directs you to where you can buy everything you see on there. It is AMAZING.
Well, I posted a link to my Leopard Print Mason Jar Tumbler yesterday and I can't believe how many people have "saved" it (basically the same as repinning it)!

Now if only I would sell some of them I'd be happy! :)

Posters!

I added a few posters to my new Esty store! What do you guys think?

Graphic Design Posters

I have been doing a lot more graphic design recently and have been making a few posters that I am going to sell in my new Etsy shop www.cgrecodesign.etsy.com.

The bottom poster I made and had printed for my cousin, Abbie, as a wedding gift. She is a huge Fifty Shades of Grey fan and I loved the relationship advice "choose your battles" (clearly since I had it tattooed on me haha).

Living Social Deal

*Note: I am in no way being compensated for mentioning this*

I just purchased a memory foam mattress on Living Social and I wanted to share the deal because it is pretty unbelievable how big of a savings it is. It is a Queen sized memory foam mattress for $399 - that is normally $1,600! Isn't that insane?!

The reviews look awesome and I can't wait to try it out. I've been sleeping on a mattress from Big Lots for the last 4 years and it's awful haha

Here's the link if you want to check it out
