Sharla and I have continued our friendly exchanges. Recently we both recreated something found on the other's Pinterest boards.... I think these are especially good projects!
Sharla had this jewelry organizer pinned. Well, I just happened to have an old printer's drawer that I wasn't totally in love with anymore (at least how I was using it) and decided to give it new life.
Before and after: I went for more turquoise/less aqua and also chose to distress it and leave the old hardware intact. I didn't include the cheap looking dowel rod across the bottom, but did add some hooks for necklaces. I don't have any earrings (maybe I should pierce my ears??) or rings (not my thing) so this wouldn't work as well for my million bracelets and necklaces. I added a few things just to take a low quality "after" photo. I think it does the same job as the $89 + tax and shipping version on Etsy!
I had pinned
these mercury glass lamps, not necessarily for the lamps, but for the tutorial on "fake mercury." Sharla made me this glass jar (also a candlestick, currently in hiding from Graham) using the Krylon looking glass paint. Love it!
If I didn't teach, I'd look for a job whose description included: "researching" and recreating ideas from blogs and Pinterest while your kids trash the house and ask how much longer until swimming/if they can have friends over/eat more snacks/use my phone/download something from iTunes.....
