A Simple DIY Sideboard of Sorts

Hello sweet friends~

 March is finally upon us

and with any luck, 

it'll bring some Spring like weather to us all,

because man, this Winter is getting old!

♥♥♥♥

Anyway,

 I wanted to share a simple DIY for the Dining Room.

 If you're an avid reader of the old blog, 

you know I often share my dining room chalkboard with you.

I always saw a major problem with my chalkboard and

you may or may not have noticed it yourself.

The chalkboard is hung on a fairly good sized wall,

with no furniture underneath it,

so I always felt as though it was "floating" in space,

with nothing to ground it.

I always wanted to add a sideboard or buffet,

but my husband was always against it.

He would give me a speech about how the last

thing we needed was another piece of furniture

in the dining room, or that it would be an obstruction and

  stick out too far & block people's ability to walk,

or how it isn't necessary to fill every available inch 

of  space with something, blah, blah, blah.

So, what is a girl to do?

 Get creative & improvise something with

a narrow depth!

Ikea shelf to the rescue,

along with some brackets, 

just because.

Then, 

I got some fabric & sewed a simple skirt,

added some pretties....

and the chalkboard no longer floats!  

See?  Simple is good!

And now I want to officially declare-----

if I MUST see nothing but Winter whenever I look outside,

if I MUST freeze whenever I step outside,

then I MUST refuse to see Winter inside as well.

Spring decorating here I come!!!
