What’s more cottagey than relaxing and enjoying a few festive beverages out on the deck with friends and family?.
We don’t start up again until after Labor Day, but I still find myself in the “Back to School, Let’s Get Organized” mindset by the beginning of August every year.Actually, by the end of August last year, I was already into Halloween projects!.
Kennedy and I did this quick little upcycle project the other day to hopefully help our homework sessions go a little better once September gets here.Now we’ll always be able to find enough pencils, erasers, rulers, etc.AND, they’ll look cute too!.
It started out like this: We had this brown remote control caddy that we never used.It’s one of those ones with slots for family pictures all around and it turns too, making everything easy to access..
I was inspired by these lazy susans from Pottery Barn Kids and thought I could make this into something similar that I would love almost as much as I love the real thing..
The paint that I used is called.As much as I really think it’s pretty fun to follow Jack around the house while he climbs all over everything, some times it’s nice to have a break and be able to just sit down with him and play in one room without him taking off every 1.7 seconds.
We like this to be our living room, but unfortunately, the opening into the dining room beside is really big and just doesn’t work with regular baby gates.A couple of months ago, Chris came up with a solution that works really well.
It’s not only sturdy and effective at caging in our little wild animal, it’s also pretty too!So here he is with his tutorial for the baby gate made from an old crib!.
