Project Reveal and a FREEBIE

 

 Last week I gave you guys a lil sneak peek of a few projects I would be revealing today.

 

Well...without further ado...

 

Project #1: Teacher Toolbox

 

Last year I jumped on the teacher toolbox bandwagon and loved it.

 

 

This year I wanted to take my toolbox to the next level.

 

I spray painted it with black paint made for plastic and created new labels to match my room décor.

 

You can grab the labels {here}.

 

 

 

I think it looks much better black.

 

 

The bling really pops now!

 

Project #2: Storage Drawers 

 

 

How boring are these?

 

The drawers definitely needed a pop of color and I hated how you could see the mess in them.

 

One day when blog stalking I saw Maria's at Kender-Craze.

 

So I set out to Fancy mine up too!

 

Again, I spray painted the frame with the same paint I used on my toolkit.

 

I then Mod Podged bright scrap book paper in the drawers.

 

Once I figure out what I'm going to put in each drawer I will create labels for them.

 

Project #3: Table Caddies

 

I have really small tables in my classroom, so I've never had table caddies but I REALLY wanted some.

 

I found these at Wal-Mart.
 

 

They're not too big so hopefully they won't take up much space on the tables.

 

I added some blingy ribbon...and voila!
 

 

From drab to FAB!

 

Project #4: Teacher Stool

 

My parents remodeled their kitchen last spring and gave me 2 of these.

 

 

The brown wood won't match my classroom so I spray painted it black.

 

I used a dual spray paint that has the primer and paint already in it.

 

 

 

I really like it black!

 

I think relaxing teaching from occasionally sitting in it through out the day is going to hurt my hinny.

 

Introducing my new chair with a zebra cushion.

 

I haven't been able to find the perfect fabric for it yet, so I will be starting off the year with the zebra. 

 

Project #5: Supply Pots

 

I needed something to hold the supplies for my writing center and saw this idea on Jo-Ann Fabric's site while sitting in the dentist office.

 

So I took 5 of  these...

 

 

And created these...

 

 

 

 

Mine definitely aren't as cute as theirs, but they'll do!

 

I've got some other projects in the works right now.

 

I'll be sharing those as I finish them.

 

Hopefully I will have pictures of my classroom to start sharing soon as well.

Hope everyone has a fantastic Monday!
