It has been quite a while and I apologize. I went on vacation in the Outer Banks, and my mother has been visiting from Ohio. When my mom heard of all the projects I wanted to accomplish in my classroom she put me to work! She helped me focus and pushed me to do the things that probably would not have been accomplished this summer (or next for that matter).
First we did some small things...
This bulletin board was inspired by a poster I saw on Pinterest (http://theteachersdesk.tumblr.com/)
Another bulletin board
Then we made over my desk area. So ugly and depressing and messy. All of those necessary cords with now way to hide them. There was also no color at all!
Before
After: Look at the difference! We just added scrapbook paper to my steralite drawers and to the cabinets that were on the wall. We also wrapped scrapbook paper around to shelves that were not being used and propped them up behind my big apple to hide more cords. My mom is so smart. This was all her!
I wish I had a better picture, but the shelf on the left had an unfinished edge, and mom fastened scrapbook paper around that as well. It's so bright and cheery that I just laugh whenever I see it. =)
Our last big project, that I started but couldn't finish due to a sewing machine malfunction was curtains to cover shelves in my classroom. My mom took them to a friend, Lily, who is an absolute angel. They finished them for me at 12:30 am this morning. Love them!
So here is a picture of the shelves in June..... gross right? Very distracting and harmful to my ADD.
The following is what they looked like on Friday
And today - Sunday, I know... I was too excited and I couldn't wait to put them up!!! Drum Roll please.....
How gorgeous are they?!?!?
What items would you like to makeover in your home or classroom? Ask someone what they think, maybe they will have a brilliant idea for you.
P.S. I love you Mom!
