Coupons and Cabinets

I finally found the time to put of cork boards in the inside of my cabinets. I got the idea from John and Sherry from This Young House. Here is how the process went...

I picked out the cabinets that I wanted to put the cork board up in. I picked the two next to the stove by the refrigerator because that is where the coupons usually start stacking up.
Then I measured the inside of the cabinet by marking a piece of paper. I used this paper to make slits in the cork board before finally cutting it with one of those razor blade knife things...My husband made me promise not to chop off a finger before he kindly handed his over.

Then I attached the cork board using the nice little Commando Velcro attachments. The cork board comes with permanent stickers to attach them with, but I didn't know if the next person to own our house would appreciate those.

It took two sized down cork board squares to fill up the inside of my cabinet. Apparently John and Sherry's cabinets are much larger than mine, because the used three whole squares with space between them on theirs! Good thing I only bought one package of 4 cork boards at Hobby Lobby.

Finally, I added the pictures/coupons I have been saving with little thumb tacks. This cabinet got my Pottery Barn cataloge cut-outs...

And this one got my coupons....

Don't you just love saving money with coupons?! And don't you just hate it when you get to the store and realized you forgot to grab them ; )
