Little Home Improvements

Rob and I have worked on a couple of little projects recently.  Every so often I pull out my sewing machine and am reminded of how impatient I am and exactly why it usually stays packed away.  Before school started I visited Joann's Fabrics which recently opened in Greenville and got inspired to make a super simple curtain to hang above our sink.  It did cheer up the kitchen a little.


 I also found a large metal spoon and fork at a yard sale that I spray painted to hang on either side of the sink.

Our other little project was to clean up the laundry room.  We had a counter with three sets of drawers below it.  Drawers just don't cut it for trying to organize dirty laundry, so Rob took out the drawers and knocked out the rails so it was completely open.

 I found some leftover paint in the garage that worked for painting the inside of the cabinet and the one set of drawers we left.  I probably should have bought a new can of paint so that the cabinet would be completely one color but I was cheap.
A little paint and new baskets go a long way!
