My Wrapping, Scrapping, Crafting Closet

Stick a fork in it, it's done ! I just wanted to show you the room with all the final touches. The knobs that came on the dresser were cute but they were plaid and I'm not really a plaid person so I painted them black. Here is what they looked like before in case you didn't see them. I cannot remember where I got the canvas with the pillows, I'm thinking it was either Kirkland's or HG, it was $ 5.00. My new apron from the Hip Hostess is hanging on the doorknob.

The canvas needed some work to fit in and match. I know this sign is all over blogland BUT, I'm pretty sure it's nowhere in Cary, NC so I felt good about using it ! I printed it from The Graphics Fairy and Mod Podged it onto the canvas and then blinged it up a bit. (my spell checker doesn't realize that blinged and mod podged are real verbs and blogland is a real place, haha)


That's my thimble collection in the middle and my tea lights are in the container on the right. Thanks for looking and I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving !

PK at Room Remix is having a linky party for craft closets that I'll be linking to.

Craft Closet

BEFORE: MESSY COAT CLOSET

AFTER: MY WRAPPING, SCRAPPING, CRAFTING CLOSET

I have been wanting a craft room forever but I was running out of square footage in my house so I had to get creative. The before pic is what my coat closet looked like at 8:00 am yesterday and the after is what it had transformed into by 10:00 pm. It is only 95 % finished but I couldn't wait to give you a sneak peek. I'm so excited !

The first thing I did was empty it totally out and find new homes for all the junk, I mean coats and tools. After taking down the wire rack I painted it with some paint left over from my kitchen, BM Concord Ivory (it's really a golden yellow, nothing ivory about it). I had planned to buy base cabinets, paint and install them, get a countertop and paint and hang pegboard. While perusing my buddy, Craig's list, I found this dresser/bookcase combo for $140.00. It was red and I decided that I could absolutely live with that ! One hour later it was in place and ready for all my goodies.

All my wrapping and tissue paper, scrapbook supplies and crafting stuff lives here now......
I covered a memo board and containers with some fabulous scraps. There are a few more things to do for finishing touches but so far I love it !
