A couple weeks ago, I drove by my favorite craft store, Hobby Lobby, and let me tell you, that place is so amazing that it makes every 25 miles trip to their closest store from my home worth it. I went inside to get a few things for a future DIY project, and could not pass up these beautiful gingham handles. Immediately I thought they would look great on a tray and why not a chalkboard tray. If needed, sand off any rough areas and wipe it clean for smooth surface. Apply 2 layers of chalkboard paint and let it dry for three hours.

Something Blue
Today being a blue day for soccer fans in my homeland, I decided to surround myself with everything that I love. And re-reading my most-missed magazine, Domino, is on the top of my list and followed by getting some house project done around our condo. These beautiful blue rooms made me dream of having some extra walls here to paint. Maybe a guest room or nursery someday? In any case, I hope your blues are on your walls, and not your heart.
