Make Steps From Cinder Blocks

Make Steps from Cinder BlocksI was visiting a friend who had just moved into a new home, and I saw these steps they made with cinder blocks. I thought this was great. They look so nice and orderly!

 

Black mushrooms painted on a wall to disguise water damage.

Disguising Wall Water DamageI came up with a quick fix that was cute and decorative for $1.00. I bought a bottle of black acrylic paint at the dollar store and with a fine tip brush, I outlined the top of the damage.

Cover Your Kitchen Cabinets With CorkboardOne of the things I have done so far is corkboard the kitchen cabinets. It's just me and my 14 and 2 year old, so I made it fun.
