    My SIL is a genius.

    The boy’s sister, who I will never stop pressuring to start a blog because she does stuff like this in her sleep, made us a chalkboard hanger for Christmas.

    It’s reversible!

    I can’t believe I showed a picture with a detail of how crappy the kitchen door looks. That’s how much I love this.

    Celebrating

    Six or seven years ago I made a new year’s resolution to drink more champagne. Not for boozy reasons, but rather in the spirit of celebrating small things. So I have a small number of corks from momentous times (getting accepted to grad school, my reveal, Greg moving in . . . ) and no good way to really display them.

    I grabbed an Ikea Ribba frame, the 9×9 one with the recessed mat.

    I drew a grid on the back so the corks would be equally spaced.
    I put nails through the back of the frame where the grid lines crossed.
    Then I put the corks on the nails and labeled the occasion they marked.

    I think a different color paper would look better, no? I’m not sure I like it yet but an excuse to drink more champagne is never a bad thing.
