DIY corkboard

Now hanging in my kitchen: This adorable wine cork board!

I won't go through the tutorial since Newlyweds Next Door already provided a great one (<-- click that to see it) that I followed (Thanks K!).

Just wanted to share my creation. I love it for this wall.

I didn't have to buy anything but the glue sticks for the hot glue gun. The frame is from our wedding reception (I painted it gold for that - which I blogged about here):

The corks were mostly collected by me over several years... my mom also gave me about a dozen to complete the board.

House tour: Hall bathroom

This is probably the room that's closest to being done, which is exciting. Reminder of "before" bathroom:

Since moving in, we've:

• Replaced the nasty old cracked toilet seat that actually pinched your bootie (this alone transformed the room)
• Added a shower curtain and rod
• Replaced the fug laminate countertop with marble, which included a new sink and faucet too

Please excuse the awkward angle taken standing on the tub; it's a very small room!

We're almost done! All that we are planning to do in the near future is add cabinet hardware and replace the light fixture.
