More DIY - Chalkboard labels spruce up boring kitchen canisters

So, I've been doing a lot of Pinteresting lately, and getting ideas for home decor. We're in the process of buying a HUD home, and I'm getting super excited to decorate it! I went into Cost Plus World Market, today, to see what they had, and came across these chalkboard labels, and I instantly KNEW I had to have them for my plain, white, ceramic kitchen canisters. I've had them forever, and I love them, ~BUT~ they are kind of, well, plain. Here are the labels and my canisters:

And here is the finished product:

Super simple, but I think they made a HUGE diference, don't you?

Being Crafty

So, I've been away for a while, but lately, I've been harnessing my inner craft diva. Today, I made a necklace hanger with some drawer knobs that were 50% off this week at Hobby Lobby and an unfinished, scalloped piece of wood. I painted and distressed the plaque, then enlisted hubby's help with attaching the knobs and a hanger to hang it on the wall. The following are pictures of the progression:

painted the plaque aqua

distressed the color, decided on only using 3 of the knobs

all finished, hung, and necklaces added!
