I went over the grooves and the sides first with a good angled brush before rolling.

Stay tuned for that exciting update!.Until then, I’m happy with my little shoe rack.I hunted for awhile to find the perfect baskets for my new bathroom fix-up and I finally found them at our local Superstore (that’s actually the name of a grocery store chain here, for those of you wondering).

They’re actually magazine holders but the tall, narrow shape of them makes them perfect for holding hand towels and hiding lots of junk too.The only problem was that they were a little plain looking all by themselves, so I decided to snaz them up a little bit.. To the recycle bin!You can make almost anything out of an old cereal box, I swear..

It doesn’t even have to be a fancy cereal box.It can be a generic one from Walmart too!.

I measured and cut some little rectangles (I think they’re about 7″x3″) and grabbed a foam brush and some Americana chalkboard paint.

I love the chalkboard spray paint and the big cans of it too for bigger jobs, but these little bottles are perfect for all your mini chalkboarding needs..It’s OK, Kennedy, I forgive you for messing up your perfectly made bed right in the middle of my photo shoot.

But only cause you’re so cute!Even though it’s not at all how I envision it will be one day, I still really like my mudroom..The one wall is all windows, so it’s nice and bright, and even though it’s pretty utilitarian right now, I seem to be able to make it into something welcoming to walk into pretty easily..

I decorate it for most seasons and holidays, but for Summer this year, it just became sort of a dumping ground.Some decorations left over from Spring, some things I’m planning on using in there in the Fall, whatever garden stuff I wanted to be able to grab on my way out the door without going into the scary garage, and various toys..
