Betancourt house update continued...

The Betancourt house update continues... today, pictures of a few kitchen projects I have been working on. Simple changes, quick projects, but lots of fun!

I have had this frame for years and never knew what to do with it. I spray painted it white, and made a chalkboard in the center using smooth plywood and chalkboard paint. It's perfect for posting my weekly menu!























I was inspired by this posting on House of Smith. I was lucky enough to score this light blue plate at a thrift store for $1.50. I cut out the letters, and designs on vinyl with my cricut. I attached a dry erase marker to the back with velcro and it's a great place to jot down notes - the dry erase marker wipes off easily for multiple uses.

Simple and quick. I cut out this design on vinyl with my cricut and attached it to my kitchen utensil crock.

I have been wanting new kitchen curtains forever! Now that I have been learning to sew I figured it would be a fun project. I found these tablecloths on clearance at Target and fell in love with the fabric. Using tablecloths made these curtains super easy... I only had to trim the bottom and sew one hem. They were hung using clip rings so I didn't need any additional sewing.

Another view of the curtains - plus check out the swirly trivets I picked up at a thrift store.

My last kitchen project - is the EAT sign above the cabinets. I bought cheap wood letters at Hobby Lobby. Painted them blue, inked the edges for a worn look and then adhered vinyl decals that I cut using my cricut.

That is it for now... more to come. So check back soon... all eleven of you! ha!
