Summer Projects

Hi, my name is Olivia and I am a Pinterest addict. Here are a few of the pinterest-inspired projects that I completed this summer and a few that are still in the works. Sadly, those projects that are still in completion limbo and will probably remain in limbo until next summer. I don't have a lot, ok, any time for crafting during the school semesters :(

I love my MAC eye makeup and I have been dying for a way to keep my makeup organized and out where I can use it, instead of crammed in a drawer or makeup bag. I got the frame & fabric from hobby lobby the steel sheet metal and adhesive spray both from Lowes. 

 Here are the tutorials that I found from Pinterest:

The girls have been needing a bow board, and all of the ones I have seen made or have come across have all been too small for all of the hair accessories that they have (granted there are still several that are in baskets). The other reason I decided to go with this as a bow board versus the others that I have seen is because there is nothing I love more than multipurpose crafts!! This way, when the girls are ready for a room revamp or no longer need/want a bow board this can be repurposed for pictures, notes, or whatever. It would easily work in another room or could be repainted to match another theme.

Here is yet another makeup magnet board :) I made this one for my sister to use at her sorority house. Again, the frame and fabric were found at Hobby Lobby on 50% off days.

Here is one of my works in progress....I have been dying to organize all of our medications, OTCs and first aid supplies that clutter our hallway closet. I found some awesome plastic totes on sale during the back-to-school sales this year and knew they would be perfect for this.  I have labels typed up, I just need to stop being lazy and print them off already. I also need to get around to putting down cabinet shelf liners. PS~ No, not all of the totes are meds. I figured I should clarify that! I filled a few of the totes with back up bathroom supplies as I like to buy in bulk when I can, so body wash, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc. and one is strictly first aid supplies.

My other projects include finishing my bathroom organization, all of the bedroom closets, toy room, kitchen, and laundry room closet. They've all been started....hopefully it won't really be next summer before I get to complete them.
