This project was pretty simple. I bought a long frame at Michaels and found this great graphic pinkish orangish wrapping paper at Target.
Just ignore the Mod Podge and brush in the picture. I tried that method first and had too many issues with bubbles so I tried it a different way.
I took the frame backing and traced it on the wrapping paper and cut it out slightly bigger than the traced area. Then I wrapped the edges over the the back of the frame backing and taped them down. Then I put the backing back in the frame which took a little bit of effort but eventually I ended up with this:
Then I designed the words in the Silhouette Design Studio software.
The fonts were ones that I downloaded. The font for the word "menu" was called Fancy Pants and the font for the days was called Janda Apple Cobbler. I bought the flourish and poppy at the Silhouette online store. I thought the poppy would tie in nicely with my faux roman shade from this post.
I printed the designs on black adhesive vinyl just like the labels for my spice jars.
I really like how the black vinyl pops against the graphic background.
Then I hung it on the wall and wrote out the menu for the week. There are a lot of leftover days because I work for the local independent league baseball team during the summer so I am not home for dinner very often.
Here is what this corner of the kitchen looks like with the addition of the menu board. I like how it adds an extra pop of color.
I have also been working on organizing my kitchen cabinets so here is peek at some of the work I have done with that.
I should have taken a before but it was a crazy mess in there before. I had thrown away all the rings that came with my measuring cup and spoon sets so I used some shower rings that I had hanging around. It is nice to get them out of the drawers where it takes me forever to find the right size spoon.
This is wonderful and quite informative blog I have learnt so many things from here. ReMARKable white board
