Alright guys, so it's time for the big reveal! I mean, it's not that BIG of a deal..but I am excited about it so I'm making it into a bigger deal than it really is. :)
Introducing my first craft "area/room":
I love my desk! I couldn't decided between yellow or green for the desk and my sweet cousin, Halley, decided for me. :) Thanks, Coo!
I wanted some dimension in the hardware so I painted them black. I love the high contrast it gives.
Here is what the dresser looked like before:
Typical old wood and pretty scratched up. A few paint splashes on the bottom, scratches on the edges...it needed help. But for $30, I knew I could do something great with it. It is SOLID wood, heavy as all, and has great bones.
Now back to the good stuff:
Got these little buckets in the dollar spot at Target. Love the dollar spot!
I had this tiered stand for a long time, and finally put it to use! It won't fit underneath our cabinents in our kitchen, so I was glad to find a home for it, instead of the closet. It holds a little fabric up top, and some buttons and ribbon down below.
This area is for random crafts, like coffee filters (in case I decided to make another coffee filter wreath), candle sticks, raffia...whatever, really! The top drawer is for scrapbook paper and supplies.
I found that cool little bowl (not really sure of the purpose..is it a dough bowl?) at Goodwill for fifty cents. I like the pineapple shape!
My sewing machine lives on one corner of the desk.
Photos of friends, magazine scraps that I want to remember, a flower or two as embellishment, and my sweet puppy! See her up there?
I just made the pennants from scrapbook paper and ribbon. The paper came from Michaels, along with the letter "K" (which I got ages ago!) and the frame came from Hobby Lobby. Inside it says "I have always known it was you." Pennants are everywhere, it seems! I saw some on Pinterest that I love and got the idea to put some in my craft space.
This holder thing came from Goodwill for $2 and I spray painted it teal. I told you I have been going crazy with spray paint!
I love how much space it gives me to work! I sit here on the computer while I blog, I can sew here, and craft all at the same time!
All of my paints and Modpodge fit nicely in a drawer.
Glue guns (I have five...Why? I have no idea.)
Fabric goes in another drawer. I'm not completely satisfied with this because I don't like to DIG to find it...anyone have any innovative ideas on how to store fabric and scraps?
Sewing supplies..I'm ordering on of those neat spool holders pretty soon and I'll hang it on the wall! Yahoo!
I still need to find a desk chair because the one seen in this photo does not go with the desk- it's hubby's grandfathers and we don't want to use it because it's an antique and easily breakable. BUT, look at that cushion! I scored that at Pier 1 for $2! (I used a $10 off coupon!)
I just need to find a desk chair now!! I think I may paint it either black or pink!
Hope you enjoyed my craft room tour! I'm off to the pool now!
Happy Wednesday!
