DIY Fun!

I may have injured myself during this remodeling chaos.  I'm supposed to keep my foot elevated.  We shall see what the doc says later today. It's kind of disturbing, but I'm hoping to get a doctor's note so I can take off work. 

Lest you think I got lazy, I was up to some DIY no-good.  Here's what I did.

I rescued an old picture frame.
Then I broke out my tool box. I actually didn't wind up using any tools from the box, I was so excited I forgot to take a picture of the scissors, x-acto knife, tape, and a ruler.
I bought the corkboard from Daiso for $1.50.  Rip off! It's a piece of cardboard with cork particles stuck on it. I slid the board out of its frame.
I didn't have an extra pair of hands for the next few steps, so you'll have to trust me. I basically used a placemat to cover the board and fitted the whole thing within the frame.  The mat wouldn't stay taut, so I duct-taped it, the back looks very ghetto, so I will just leave you with the front of the finished product.  I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for yet.
