A Ten Minute Project

This week I wanted to share the simplest little project...

it took ten minutes...but it made a nice change!

You may remember my cubby cabinet.  I bought it several years ago at a garage sale for $5.00.  I am sure it was most likely a garage piece, as it is made of plywood with a pine tongue and groove top and sides.  

A couple of years ago I painted the faceboards and side panels gray...

which dressed it up considerably.

My next project was inspired by a recent thrift store find.  

I found these old stencils in a grab bag in the office/craft area.  

Those little numbers sparked my imagination...

With the stencil, and some dark gray craft paint, I numbered the cubbies!  I wasn't too careful, just held it in place while I worked and put it on lightly so it wouldn't look like new paint.  I was going from side to side, and once put the wrong number on...but wiped it off with a wet paper towel, and kept on going. 

I think the numbers give it a little personality!

Don't you love a quick and easy project?

Have you used numbers around the house?  I'd love to hear your ideas!

Until next time...
