woodshop chic

Just a cute little project I wanted to share. Those of you with kids in junior high/high school will probably at some point be presented with the items they have made in woodshop class. In this case, the Mouse made a banana hanger and a napkin holder. I loved them because he made them and wanted to use them because they are functional. But you know me - I love color! So with Mouse's approval, I put my own little twist on his creations.
Super easy to just paint a few coats of red on the bare wood. Then I used stick-on white polka dots because I knew I could never paint the dots as perfect as I wanted. Then a few coats of spray-on clear gloss finish. (please excuse my extremely summer-challenged yard...)
 CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!!!

I'm really happy with how they turned out! They add some great color and personality to my very bland kitchen, and I love that the Mouse made them :)
