Pots and Pans Peg Board

Step 1: Pick a color any color...
(Painters Touch Spray Paint 2.79)
Step 2: Select your hooks.
(Set of hooks 6.49)
Step 3: Paint your peg board.
(Peg Board 5.00)
Step 4: Mount board on wall.
I used 5 sturdy long nails. I used 3 at the top and 2 at the bottom to secure.
Step 5: Place your hooks. Then hang your pots and pans.

TA DA!

This project was fun, easy and fast. It is also a total space saver. My apartment is small and now cupboard space to spare.


Sophie's Tip: Spray paint the back side of the board. Many cork boards come pre-painted white and if you are lazy, like me, you don't want to take the time to sand it down and paint over the top. The back is more grainy so the paint sinks in a bit (but because of that one coat worked great).

"Cups, Cups, Cups, Cups!"

I love interesting Cups and Mugs that make you want to snuggle under covers and fill up on tea or hot cocoa.
These inspire me.

50 Cents ea.
Which is also inspiring. I love a good deal!

Look how great cups look hung up on little hooks!

Sophie's Tip: Thrift stores are GREAT places to find unique dishes. Sometimes I only find one of a kind but many times I have found at least 4 of a set. This is a really fun and cheap way to expand your dish collection... plus you know what's in the cupboard is uniquely yours.

Think of fauna (the green one) saying the title of this blog and then crunching 3 eggs into her cake batter. Out of all of these fairies I by far relate to her the most.
