Plywood Signs
Hi again, it's Kaysi from Keeping it Simple.In my kitchen I have a bright yellow accent wall. I need something big and bright to go onto it. When I saw this idea, I knew that I wanted to do something like that in there. It was so easy to do and it really makes a statement in my kitchen.

Coffee Table Redo
I got this coffee table to redo awhile back...I wanted it in my living room, but my living room is super small and I totally didn't want to hit my shins on it daily.So instead I decided to keep it in my son's room until we moved.I knew that he didn't want a plain black table and I knew i didn't want to paint it some color that wouldn't go in any other room in my house.so I turned my attention over to vinyl....First the front...I wanted a splash of color without being overwhelming,
