March is my month to check some things off my list. Especially now that the kitchen floor is finished, I can really work on and finish the kitchen. But even as I type this, my littlest distraction (Yoda) is trying to stop me from putting up this post. I'll do my best, we'll see.
Here's the first thing I worked on: a memo board for Parker's room. He needed something to hang up random kid stuff. Cork board=dropped pins=danger. Therefore I decided on a magnet board. But all the magnet boards I found were either too feminine for a 9-year-old boy's room, or too office-like. So I found some ideas on-line, put my own spin on the ideas and came up with this thing.
It started as a sheet of metal that a guy at the hardware store helped me find. He found a magnet and started sticking it to stuff around the store. This is for making pipe for venting, something like that, but more importantly it was cheap and flat. First I trimmed off the folded end with my tin snips. Then I covered the sharp edge black duct tape. Last I poked some holes along the top.
Now I just have to hang it in Parker's room. My hope is to have his room finished this weekend. Here's to finished projects!
