I am a tweaker. I can’t seem to leave things alone. Even after I finish a project I am always thinking of ways I could make it better. I know. I’m insane.
Last March I made over an old frame into a reward system for our boys.
I know a lot of you weren’t around back then, so I’ll do a quick re-cap. When we see one of our boys doing something positive, they get a point. When they have 10 points, they get to stay up late one night with my husband and I. We’ve been doing it for almost a year, and it is still working fabulously! It is great spending alone time having fun with each child, and it doesn’t cost us a cent. Totally rockin!
Oh, and before you all leave me messages asking why poor little Justin has 0 points, he had just stayed up the night before, so he was starting over. I really don’t neglect him. 😉
Anyway, there is one thing that has always bothered me about the frame. Why the heck did I stick one flower in each corner? I have no idea. After it was up for about a day I thought it looked mighty dorky. I kept meaning to get to it. Now that I’m re-doing the kitchen, the color of the fabric rosettes doesn’t work. I’m still using red, but I’m going with a brighter red. It was just the kick in the pants that I needed. I finally got this project completed.
I like my rosette frame so much better now! What do you think?
