Ruler trim

After I finished laying my new vinyl floor,  I needed a piece of trim to cover where my different floorings meet.  I thought to myself, surely there's a way for me to get out of going to a hardware store.  I know!-who dreads going to the hardware store?  Well, that would be me.  So, I started looking around the house for a solution-and I found one in the form of a wooden ruler.  Only I needed 30 inches not 12, so I did need to stop in town to see if I could find more.  The dollar store was out, but Rite Aid had them for a dollar a piece.  I guess I don't mind stopping at drug stores.  :)  I went ahead and got three, so they would match up.

I opened my junk jar and found screws.

I gave them 2 coats of some water based polyurethane I had, last night.  I cut off two of them at 11 inches, because I didn't want to deal with the large hole there at the end.  The other ruler was cut at around the 8 inch mark.

I just used the built in holes and screwed them right to the floor.  I did most of this-this morning, while talking on the phone with my sister.

Tada!-floor trim made from rulers. 

I'll never have to look for a ruler again!

Have a lovely weekend, everybody!
