We also got started on a house project that I have been wanting to do for years. But it always seemed too big for our DIY skills. Now that we are working on it, it is disgustingly simple. Here is a photo of the space that we had. We have no idea what it was for. To small for coats or linens, but in the wrong part of the house to be a broom closet. It was just a space where it was.
This is what the bottom half looks like now. We used cedar tongue in groove planks to line the back, although my hubby has to go get more because I am lousy at math! The sides will be lined in cedar as well, and we will be spacing the shelves every other plank. The perfect height for our DVDs to be in! There should be plenty of room for all the movies we have, but I have already told the children and husband that if they don't all fit, something has to go. My goal this week is to finish lining it while I look for what shelving I want.
This is the one sewing project I finished. It is the trial and error version of our teacher appreciation gift for Halloween. I'll be making each teacher a set of two, as well as baking some treats to go into the staff lounge on the day of Halloween. I figure even our single male staff need kitchen towels! I hate getting stupid useless gifts. I can appreciate the though without appreciating the gift. LOL, I've had a few of those in my life. I tend to lean towards things are useful as well as attractive. Although everyone has a different view of attractive. I haven't had any complaints yet, so I think I'm on the right track!
This week should see some progress on the closet, hopefully all of the lining in, and a few of these towels done. I'm starting early, just in case life gets in the way! With school starting up, so is everything else!!
