My Project! =)

Okay, so I recently saw this "makeup board" project and wanted to make one for myself. Today I did so....here's what I did...
First I rummaged in the closet under the stairs and found this frame. Ikea, super cheap.

Then when we were at Lowe's getting an attic fan, I got this metal for a whopping $8.48.

I already had the glue gun of course, and 50 magnets from Michaels was $6.49.
The project I saw online used fabric stuck to the metal with spray adhesive, but i came up with an idea I like better....contact paper. It's self-stick and when it gets gross you can just wipe it down and good as new. Or if you want to change the look, much easier to remove than the fabric idea. This contact paper i found in my closet, totally didn't even remember I had it!
So here it is: My finished product. I was looking to meet two goals.
#1 - clean up my vanity.
but the more important reason for me was that I am TIRED of digging for my stuff. Now it's all on my board where I can see it. Yes!
