Our Little Apartment

The Kitchen:

 On the back of the stove

A d.i.y. chicken wire frame. Perfect in the kitchen.

I adore cheery cookbooks

The top of the fridge

Using the space between the ceiling and the top cupboards to store extra bowls and serving dishes.

 

This gal right here recently received a little makeover. The polka dot  interior added so much. More on her at a later time.

A Happy Fridge Makeover

 Lets just say, we don't do boring. Ever. And when an opportunity is handed to us, say, in the form of maybe a relative's house key, we take full advantage.
Here we have said relative's sad, dismal and somewhat empty fridge {possibly because they were on vacation.}

 Somewhat empty fridges do in fact work best in this case. 

Now for the makeover. We simply picked up a couple packets of googly eyes at our local hobby store and went to town!

First the eggs.

Don't they look adorable?

And the condiments. . .

More condiments. . .

And the veggies. . . . we named the potato Herbie. Doesn't he look like a Herbie?

The dressings. . .

The butter. . .

The random stuff. . .

The cheesy things. . .

And finally the rest of the gang.

{I personally think this fridge looks way better.}
And there you have it! A happy fridge makeover!

                    Oh, Monday. . .

             Easy Peasy Bottle Cap Magnets

First off, you should probably have some bottle caps laying around, {and NOT because you went to the store and bought a packet of bottle caps!} Buy the bottles of yumminess and save the caps from those.

Next you need some glue. {The super strong stuff!}
I use 'Loctite' super glue and find that it does an amazing job!
You will need two different sized washers- 1/4 in. and a 1 in.
A magnet, { You can pick these up at any hobby store}
and of course your bottle cap.

The 1/4 in. washer is glued in first.

The 1 in. washer is then glued to the 1/4 in. washer. . .

And the magnet is glued to the 1 in. washer.
Now really, how easy is that?!

And there you have it. Magnets that are not only cute, and functional, but heavy duty as well.
