Cabinet back

I'm feeling a lot better emotionally although I've been sick this week. Kind of inevitable. But I'm thinking differently about things and that's a good thing.

I have been pottering around with a few little craft projects. Here's one of them.

If you recall, we have two cabinets next to our computer desk:

Unfortunately, the back of the cabinets wasn't very attractive to look at:

I got out some off-white corduroy that I had stashed in my fabric box and fastened it to the cabinets with small panel pins. I also added a strip of cork that I had, for pinning up small notes and receipts:

So much better! And it cost me nothing and only took a short time to do.

  1. Aren't you clever? Looks great. Glad you're feeling (emotionally) better -- hope you feel physically better soon.

  3. I don't know you in IRL, but I've been following your blog for quite a while. When I first saw that cabinet back when you posted the new house photos, I knew it wouldn't be long before you did something with it. Was looking forward to see what you created!

  4. You need splashes of LOUD color in your life girl!! It will make you feel so much better! How are your aqua or red end tables doing in the living room??

  5. I agree with Heather. Splashes of LOUD, sometimes obnoxiously LOUD colour do me the world of good. You should try it. And NO, throwing open your shoe closet to display its fabulous wares does not count as a splash of colour in your home. ;)
