At all times Josh and I {mostly me…} have a DIY to-do list running in our minds. Thankfully for me, Josh has really taken to doing projects, mostly becuase they involve tools and trips to HD and Lowes. And I am sure because he just loves the quality time with me 🙂
We are moving soon and our kitchen will be slightly bigger- here are two projects I hope to tackle post-move:
{Project One}: IKEA Kitchen Island Hack

I love the drawer upcycle that the couple from Hunted Interior did- hope to do it ourselves!
Plus we want to add a butcher-block-look stain to the top, a coat of white paint to the rest of it, some baskets on the shelves and a towel rack on the side…then the Hall’s will have made it their own!
{Project Two} also takes place in the kitchen. {But it is more of a purchase than a project…}
Thanks to wonderful friends and family we are owners of tons of beautiful white coffee mugs and a brilliant Keurig coffee machine. I love the idea of creating a little coffee/tea corner like this one:
I am beside myself obsessed with this wall shelf from Hobby Lobby {same one used as the picture above}. Mom and I actually saw it on Black Friday and loooooved it and I honestly haven’t stopped thinking about it since. When I saw it on Pinterest today {in the picture above}, I about jumped out of my seat. Major want!
P.S….Is it acceptable to store both coffee/tea items AND bar items on the same cart?
P.P.S. If checked yes….could {Project One} and {Project Two} be combined into ONE AWESOME PROJECT?! The libation station?!
bar cart/kitchen island wheels are turning

How much was the shelf from hobby lobby? I live about 10 miles from one but don’t want to go out if I can’t afford right now 🙂
