A Little DIY Inspiration

I recently admitted to my slight obsession with Pinterest. While it is a wonderful source of inspiration, what good does it do if I never do anything productive with that inspiration? It's a dilemma I think the majority of people on Pinterest can relate to.

 So basically I need to start putting some of the amazing ideas that I find to work. I'm trying to spend as little as possible for the month of June (we were going to do a "No Spend June" thing, but who are we kidding?). So I need to find projects that I can do using mostly things that I already have laying around the house. So here is what I think I will be attempting:

I have some version of this. Black frame, maybe some scrapbook paper? Surely I have a dry erase marker somewhere. I don't know, we'll see what happens.

So cute! And empty wine bottles shouldn't be too difficult to come by...

I know I have a few frames with broken stands...I also have a silver frame that has started to tarnish that could use some spray paint (obviously I don't throw much away). Plus I lose my keys approximately five times a week, so it something I definitely need. This shouldn't be too difficult.

I have a pretty little mirror frame that I spray painted black, then the mirror part got broken (like two years ago). I kept it because I thought surely I would replace the mirror. I didn't. I feel like spraying it with chalkboard paint is a much more realistic goal.

So there you have it! I'm pretty excited to see if I can accomplish a few of these things. Lord knows I love a project, and Arsen shouldn't be annoyed by this one since it requires very little monetary investment. And he won't need to help me. Probably.

Next up: Pinterest recipes! Apparently I'm feeling really ambitious today. Now that I'm typing this out I'm realizing tackling all of this will require quite a bit of effort on my part. The cooking part is what scares me. So I'm gonna calm down and not make any promises. How 'bout, wish me luck? Let's go with that.
