Finally! A completed project!

A few weeks ago I asked everyone for ideas and so many of you posted great ones. I narrowed in to an inspiration photo that NJTomboy provided. Thanks again Tomboy!

I changed it quite a bit from the photo (which was a Ki and Sue project) and made it fit our needs more.

Just waiting for dh to hang it once he walks in the door from work.

Unfortunately this was the only wall I could fit it on since there are so many cutouts or doorways in my kitchen.

That is adorable Candy. You did a great job. Looks like the perfect spot to me.

Good going! It looks like it was made for that area!

Wow! that is so cool! you T2T girls really inspire me!

I could so use one of these in my kitchen!
Care to share how you assembled it?

That looks great! You are SO welcome - I am glad it worked out!

I, also, LOVE the color of your walls!!! You better go girl!

Thanks ladies! You really know how to make a girl feel good.

Beachy1 - Regarding assembling. I picked up this freebie old window screen from a fellow craigslister. I stitched the top burlap pocket on with lightweight hemp (per instructions in a previous issue of Country Home), fused a strip of cotton material on the top of the burlap and hot glued my buttons on each corner of the pocket. I will admit the stitching was not very fun and my finger and thumb are a bit sore still.

I purchased the photo frames from Target on clearance for $1.25/ea. and replaced the glass and backing with corkboard left over from my husband's bachelor days. They're just hotglued in the frames. I attached them to the screen by placing strips of painters tape right on the screen then adhering "velcro" on top of it along with the backs of the frame. They're on pretty snug. And finally the basket is just hung by a leftover little hook from the window treatment of the previous owner of our house.

Thanks Tomboy for the compliment on the wall color. The kitchen is called corn husk green by Behr which I think will look ten times better once I paint our trim a crisp white. I'll get there! lol.

Ode I looooove this project. I'd also love to post it on my site. May I????

Absolutely Margo! Thank you.

Very well done, Candy! And it looks like it was custom-made for that spot - perfect fit!

I agree with everyone, it's great. And I really love the color of your kitchen.

Thanks so much for the compliments, ladies.

Now if I can just get started on another project AND finish it.

You did a fabulous job - functional, stylish and a spacesaver...

OK just a idea for e1 go to freecycle.org andon left side of page look for your area of the world I have found some great things and espically since grage sale season isn't quite here yet happy hunting all

It's wonderful, I love it. Isn't it fun to get a project done.

Wow...I love this! I have been looking for a windowless window or something similar to do an inspiration board!!

I picked up a full screen door a few weeks ago. Now I know what I am doing with that screen door. Don't expect pics anytime soon, that screen door is buried in the garage from ****.

This is actually what I am working on.. LOL

That looks great!

Can't wait to see yours NJ!

cute, cute and more cute

Looks great!

Great Job! Functional, Stylish and Unique! TFS

i like this so much...i have a frame almost like it but with no screen, do you think this project could be done with material in place of the screen?
