Home Design & Decor on the Cheap
Well I just realized that I haven’t shown you my craft room in awhile. I think the last thing you saw was my stenciled yellow wall back in November and a couple of minor projects here and there. So, why haven’t you seen much from this room? Probably cause I hate it. Ok, ok… hate [...]
Did you hear? My mom gave me the best news in the world last week… She wants me to transform my younger sister’s old bedroom into a guest bedroom/craft room! Yep, 100% creative freedom, plus none of the bills to go with it. Seriously… Best. News. Ever. So what look and feel am I hoping [...]
Last week I revealed my new sewing desk makeover for my craft room/home office. I love the way the white pops of the yellow stenciled wall, but I needed to create some storage above it for all my crafting tools. I’ve been seeing a lot of peg boards recently across the web, so I thought [...]
My aunt recently gave me a sewing desk that used to belong to her mother. While I don’t know how to sew {yet}, I decided that giving this old & worn-out sewing desk a fabulous makeover might give me the push I needed to sit down and start sewing. Or so I’m hoping… I knew [...]
Yeah, I know this ain’t brain surgery… or anything you haven’t seen before. But it’s 5 days before Christmas and my mojo is out the window. So yesterday I posted my newly organized craft room/home office. Now it’s time to add another finishing touch to add some color to the room. I spotted these paper [...]
I’m still trying to get my home office/craft room in order since I stenciled the walls about a month ago. It’s been a LONG journey, but this weekend I finally started making some progress. So what jump started my organizational overhaul? I told my hubby that I wanted… no NEEDED some shelving in the home [...]
There’s a wonderful little antique and home decor shop called Willow Lake right up the road from my house. While grazing through their shop last month, I spotted a beautifully distressed green shutter for only $15. It’s been sitting aside for the past couple of weeks while I’ve been working on my home office/craft room transformation [...]
So I’ve been slowly transforming our old playroom into a home office/craft room. Here’s what it looked like before… Toys everywhere, a large dresser filled with off-season clothes, outdated drapes and chair rail border… yeah, desperately in need of a makeover. The first step in transforming my new space: painting the walls yellow! I chose [...]
OK, so I’m actually making some progress on my home office / {someday} craft room! I bought some paint today from Lowe’s and started the makeover. Here’s a shot of the before when it was a playroom… We had the futon couch for my sister to crash on when she visited from Chicago, plus a [...]
Whelp, I got home from Rivera Maya late on Friday night and decided it was time to actually do something to our extra room down the hall (which is currently the extra bedroom/daughter’s playroom/storage room). I kinda just looked around, felt I needed a change, and ripped down all of the wallpaper…right there, on the [...]
I’m in the process of turning my daughter’s playroom into a shared space for my desk and crafts as well. Here are a couple of photos of other craft rooms that I adore and will inspire my space. As soon as I return from vacation in sunny Florida, my focus is going to be revamping this [...]
