So you might recall my clock post, and my paperweight post. Here is how the area looked before..
And here is how it looked after I used a table runner to cover the top of the cupboard. The golden sleigh was a Christmas present and I am going to use this to keep all my whiteboard markers and scissors in one place.
This is the area just inside our front door, and it leads into the kitchen. There is a large whiteboard which we probably need to redo from scratch as we made it back in the days we had other people living with us and we used it to track where everyone was going to be each day. what the meal was going to be and who was going to cook it, etc.
I still use the whiteboard for meal planning and we use it to write in things like appointments. I am a huge whiteboard nut, I love the things. I just bought my fourth one, which I will also share with you as a surprise shortly! ;)
The blue bowl I made myself in Ceramics a long time ago. I presently use it to hold the wax melts once I’ve used them in the oil burners several times but they still have some scent left, so I don’t like to throw them out right away.
That reminds me, I still need to buy a calendar… at least they’ll be cheap by now!!
I like to have one in my kitchen so I can scribble things on it.
I am a big scribbler too! ;)
Love the decor–it’s great how a runner(or other cloth) can add color and style to a bland cupboard. Once I retire from teaching, I never want to see another white board. :) However, I have a mini-dry erase board that I use for reminders.
I love a whiteboard but I want the markers to be exciting. Costco have a god pack of about 18 different colours I am eyeing off.. :)
I liked it better without the runner, perhaps because the runner is a dark shade and makes it hard to see the paperweight and sleigh properly.
I agree with you and I’ll be keeping an eye out for a white runner or even a piece of white velvet. ;)
