I have to be honest, I have anxiety about what to put above the kitchen cabinets. People do SUCH cute things up there, but mine is small-ish, and I do NOT feel like arranging stuff like little knick knacks is a strength of mine, and neither is buying them.
At Hobby Lobby, these ultra thick (3 layers) chipboard letters were on sale 1/2 price, making them $1 each. So I bought letters to spell "YUM"...I've seen people do "EAT" a lot before, but I like this little different twist...
I looked everywhere for some BOLD scrapbook paper to modge podge onto the letters, but everything was too small of a print, and not quite the right color. So, after I sprayed the letters white, I cut out some chevrons, quatrefoils, and dots onto freezer paper with my cricut and sort of ironed them onto the chipboard {a word of advice, just a quick press will do the trick, any more than that and it will be hard to peel the paper off of the chipboard...but without a good press, the paint will bleed} After I ironed down the freezer paper, I did 2 VERY LIGHT coats of Krylons "Ocean Breeze" Spray paint. Then I peeled off the paper, and VOILA!!! YUM!
I love it! In this photo, the letters are balancing on the cabinet moulding...gonna have to come up with a more permanent fix for that, I was just so excited to take a picture though! :) Now I need some greenery, vase/pot, plate, who knows! Any suggestions?!
{I didn't take a picture of the whole kitchen because it's not clean...just keepin it real...}
Do you have space for cutesy stuff above your cabinet? What do you do with it?!
