Board and Batten Mudroom Progress

Guess what happens at my house when the husband books himself a 6 day guys only ski trip to Lake Tahoe?!?  Projects that have been but a glimmer in my eye miraculously begin with unbefore seen enthusiasm!  Hey... we take it how we can get it!

Confession.  Since we ripped out the coat closet and put in the entry bench it has been a little harder than expected to keep everything as tidy as I would like.  During the summer it was a breeze, but now that Old Man Winter is here and we all have 3 or 4 coats in rotation it is not quite as easy.  Solution... more hooks!  But, we couldn't just throw hooks on the wall around here and call it a day. 

I've been pinning and loving board and batten for some time now.  I think it keeps with the character of this house and it just looks amazing!  There have been multiple board and batten mud rooms floating around Blogland so it just took a little research and we were off to Lowes to gather supplies.

We have a tiny little "mudroom" as you walk in from the garage just off the kitchen.  It isn't functional.  I did have a stool and tiny shelf and a pin board in there where I just piled things until they fell on the floor before I put them away.  I mean.... probably not the best method.

Here it is in all it 4'x6' glory.  On another note... any suggestions on how to get your dog to keep the food in the bowl?!?!

I just need a couple more things before the project is complete.  (One of my new years resolutions... finish Project A before moving on to Project B!)

Other projects that I am sure the  guilty sweet husband will finish up in the near future include the built-in desk for my vintage lockers AND getting the guest room painted (which I could totally do myself but I might as well milk it!).

  2. I have a lab and he was having the same issue. I took an old side table, cut two holes in top, painted, and dropped two bowls in. It prevents him from having to bend down to eat and he can digest his food better, and keep it in the bowl. Plus the top of the small table catches any food that does fall out while he's eating.

  3. Your Affiliate Profit Machine is waiting -

    Plus, getting it running is as simple as 1---2---3!

    Here's how it all works...

    STEP 1. Input into the system which affiliate products the system will promote
    STEP 2. Add some PUSH BUTTON TRAFFIC (it LITERALLY takes JUST 2 minutes)
    STEP 3. Watch the system explode your list and upsell your affiliate products all for you!

    So, do you want to start making profits??

    You can test-drive the system for yourself risk free...

  4. As reported by Stanford Medical, It's indeed the ONLY reason this country's women get to live 10 years longer and weigh on average 42 lbs less than us.

    (By the way, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret diet and EVERYTHING about "HOW" they eat.)

    BTW, I said "HOW", and not "WHAT"...

  5. You should see how my associate Wesley Virgin's autobiography starts in this SHOCKING and controversial video.

    As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he discovered hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" tactics that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.

    These are the exact same tactics tons of celebrities (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and the greatest business people used to become rich and successful.

    You probably know how you use less than 10% of your brain.

    That's mostly because most of your brainpower is UNTAPPED.

    Maybe that expression has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind seven years ago, while driving a non-registered, beat-up garbage bucket of a vehicle without a license and on his banking card.

    "I'm so fed up with living payroll to payroll! When will I finally succeed?"

    You took part in those thoughts, am I right?

    Your success story is going to happen. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
