About a year ago, as we were preparing to take a trip to Salt Lake City to see our family, a very dear friend (yes, Bryan Williams, I mean you!) asked us to bring him some refrigerator magnets from the trip.  We happily obliged.  At the same time, I kind of got the bug, so bought some for us.  Since then, we have acquired quite a few, and they began to take over the refrigerator.  I got bored with that, so had the bright idea to paint a small wall in our kitchen with magnetic paint and display them there!  So, on one snowy day last month, we got some magnetic paint and did the project. I had bought some dry-erase paint to cover the magnetic paint, but we determined it would be too thick and the magnets would not stick, so just used regular paint to cover the magnetic.

I then decided that it would be cool if I framed some of them!  So, I went to Goodwill, got 3 empty wooden frames and painted them silver.  We attached them to the wall, and put the magnets inside them.  The pics above show the “during”, the ones below are the “done”.  Quite a fun project, and I think it looks great!  Can’t wait to pick up more magnets!  Thanks, Bryan for the “bug”!

Let me know what you think!  I always love comments!

I am working on a way to create a mailing list so that I can let folks know when a new post is created.  If you would like to be a part of that list, let me know in the comments and I will add you.  I may have to manually work the list for a while until I figure it all out, but I’m o.k. with that.  I promise I will not spam you!  I don’t expect to make more than one post per week, and usually not that often, so you will not get a lot of messages.  I also will not share your email address with anyone else! If I don’t already have your email address, or you would like me to use something different than what I have, shoot me an email at mary@marydionne.com and I’ll add that.

Thanks for visiting!
