GOOD MORNING, LOVES!
Yours truly is smiling ear to ear because the weather here has just been fantastic. We were able to turn off our A/C yesterday and had our windows and doors open all night. It was heaven and gave me a little glimpse into what fall is going to be like. Then the weather Gods decided to give us another beautiful day today...70's with a nice breeze. I have started running outside again {before it was just way too much} and am loving every minute of it.
Over the weekend I finally completed my first Pinterest inspired DIY project.
The Menu Dry Erase Board
...you may have seen it before if you are Pinterest obsessive compulsive like I am.
that's not a joke.
This project is so simple that even I couldn't mess it up.
Here's what you'll need:
-12x12 picture frame (I just think this size works best, you can use whatever you like)
-Scrapbook paper to match your kitchen colors
-Dry erase marker
You see all those different color scrapbook papers? I decided to buy one {not pictured yet} that matched our kitchen colors that I'm keeping in the frame right now, but ALSO buy ones that I can use for the different seasons {Christmas & Halloween themed, etc} so I can switch them in and out!
Pretty good idea, I must say.
Just admit it..you know I'm a genius.
Once you have your paper picked out, you simply put it in the frame and use your dry erase marker to write the days of the week on the glass.
VOILA!
Here is my final product :)
We hung it right next to our refrigerator.
This project cost me less than $12 (frame I had to buy) and I really like how it turned out. Billy and I usually plan out our meals anyways, but we never had something hanging to remind us, so we would often forget. This eliminates that problem..no more forgetting and much less stress when we get home from work and wonder what we will have for dinner! :)
We love it.
What do you think?
Would you use this menu board?!

I love it, but I'm def to lazy with the upkeep of erasing and rewriting since I have to use a dry erase board EVERYDAY during school!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! We have a dry erase board in our kitchen already, but it's not NEARLY as cute as this idea! I'm thinking... weekend project! Thanks for your post!
ReplyDeleteOh how neat. I love how you can think of great things like that. I have been wanting something in out kitchen for some time now to put list and things on. Thank you!

This is SUCH a great idea and it looks so easy! I write our weekly menu on paper now, but I am totally going to make this board this weekend. I just need to find a place to hang it.
ReplyDeletelove this idea! It would look fantastic in my apartment kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI saw that you had 'pinned' this! I'm loving that you actually made it-AND that you showed how to make it! Definitely going to give it a try! THANKS! :)
ReplyDeleteCame out so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteI have had all of these supplies for over a week and haven't had time to make mine yet but I am so excited to hopefully get to do it this weekend! I got all different papers too lol to switch out for seasons! Great minds think alike ;) Yours turned out SO CUTE!
ReplyDeletethat's a super cute idea!
ReplyDeletei'm pretty sure we'd use ours as a "to do" list.

I love love love it. Yours is so stinkin' cute. I should probably just hire you to make mine :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't this weather awesome?!? I wish we were running outside together..I could really use a running partner these days!
Love the menu board! Super cute, I should make one! AND I will add more than "banana", promise.
ReplyDeleteAlso, add a day where it says "Date night/wine with Jessie" Got it?!
See you tonight!
I love this idea! I'm horrible about cooking and figuring out what to make. More so because I don't know how to make much nor do I have the time to learn, but this would help out a bunch! Especially with the grocery store! lol
ReplyDeleteI love this! I will definitely be making it...I've had it "pinned" for awhile now i just need to get it done!
ReplyDeleteI made one kind of like this for my apartment I move into in a week and a half and I am so excited!! :)
