Vinyl Kitchen Decal

So we finally made the decision to do something in the kitchen. And by “we,” I mean I. Poor Ryan was only along for the ride. He’s such a sport.

I’m sure you remember ALL of my past tutorials. Especially the ones where I posted DIY clock tutorials. I’ll refresh your memory - here, here and here. I even went so far as to purchase a little clock-making kit. You know, the kind with the hands and “motor” (is that what it’s called?). I made some of the hexagons for one of them and painted the hands, but I just could not get jazzed about it. It didn’t look right. And then I looked around the tiny apartment and realized that there are pretty much clocks everywhere. Why do I need another clock? But the space above the window was so sad. It was just painted white and was WAITING for something to be done. It looked a little neglected. Well…no more.

In the words of Champ “WHAMMY!” It’s the same color paint we used on the inside of the cabinets. Then I got my Silhouette Cameo out and made some sweet mod graphics which Ryan nicely applied. I love it. And I ALSO made new curtains for the window. Just plain white, so it’s not that big of a deal. Oh, and notice how relatively clean the kitchen is. Things that happen when people come to stay at my house. Stuff gets DONE.

Next up - new light fixtures. That’s right. Ryan finally gave me the green light to sell our existing craftsman light fixtures that were in the apartment when I moved in and buy new ones. YAHOO!
