Happy Monday - The Entry Project part II

Hello everyone!  This week is a slow week as we recover from a wonderful weekend of celebrating the best holiday of the year!  So rather than a WHY IT WORKS post this week, I thought I'd share another home project.  While my husband has more time at home this past week, I enlisted his help and added the HEMNES shoe cabinet from IKEA to our entry.

Here's a before and after. 




Before... really not good




During...




Voila.. the cabinet fits perfectly. 
Now... we need to fine tune it!



I LOVE not seeing a pile of shoes over in that corner!  This corner is from complete though.  We definitely need some artwork above the cabinet.  So many options... a simple bulletin board, artwork, family photos or framed kid art.  Hmmm...

Here are some prints I've been eyeing over at etsy.  Help me out... what do you think?


These are seen everywhere, but I still love it.

Hooray! Miners rescued!

Did you see the Chilean miners being rescued out of the mine last night?  Can you imagine being underground for 69 days?  The human spirit is truly amazing.  I originally had a different post scheduled for today,

but I was so inspired by the miners' hope, faith, and resilience.

"We 33 miners are walking hand in hand with God," miner Mario Sepulveda reported on August 31, about 26 days after the mine collapsed and nine days after the world first learned they were alive.

Here are some prints I found on Etsy that I find inspiring too. 

Remember, each day is a gift.  Live it that way.  :)
