On Hand Decor

Last Friday was great.  I got to sleep in a little, wander around the house and do whatever jumped out at me.   What jumped out at me was the wall behind the cabinets.  I tried two different patterns and settled on this beige tile one.  I think it looks awesome!  Sure, vinyl flooring isn't fire safe but I have a fire extinguisher nearby just in case.


The pot rack is handy too but I need bigger hooks and a shelf for the lids.  The other side needs some shelves.  I don't have any extra money this month for shelves so they will have to wait.

After putting up the vinyl flooring on my wall, I went outside and started tidying up.  I stacked the cement board up against the wall along with the cedar boards.  I didn't get much done though because 3 o'clock came too soon and I had to pack up the car and dogs and pick up my nephew from school.  I forgot  how crowded the parking lot would be.  The dogs were going crazy as people walked by the car and we were trapped there waiting in line to get back out on the road.

The weekend went by too fast as usual.  We had youth group activities to go to and grocery shopping to do.  On Sunday evening my nephew started working on a poster for his history class.  4 hours later and he was finally finished so we could go back out to the mobile home.  We are back at the house already because he has tomorrow off from school and I am going to attempt to drive him to school Thursday and Friday.  I'm  not looking forward to getting up early to get him to school.  That is why we live out there during the week, to utilize the bus service.

I seem to have acquired the cold that my nephew had last weekend so I'm going to bed.  Too bad I don't get tomorrow off but I'm taking off Friday again and that's just 2 days away.

I hear you on the crowded parking lots at school dismissal time. In some of my volunteer work, I visit public schools' after-school Scrabble clubs and would sometimes get stuck in some horrendous traffic jams trying to get to the parking lots. Surrounding streets would get all gridlocked, leaving me to scream and shake my head trying to recall how different things were when I attended middle school.

I remember the lines of cars to pick up kids when I was in school. Now I understand why my mother was always late. She was smart to avoid the crowds.

Your kitchen is coming along nicely. Repurposing at it's finest!

You are getting very fancy!

I never would have thought to use floor vinyl on the walls but it looks good in the picture. Are those cookies on the counter?

Thanks, Michelle. I am thrilled that I thought of something that was free to me. It would look even better if I painted the wall but since it is just a temporary kitchen, I'm not going to spend the time or money.

Yep, Anonymous, it was a moment of inspiration (and probably not ok with the building code). Yes, those are cookies. My favorites were on sale. :)

Lizzie, it does look fancy doesn't it? Just don't look too close!

I wouldn't paint either for just a temporary fix. It looks fine.
