Cheap Entertainment Center Re-do...

I have been hard at work in my efforts to turn our "home office" into a dedicated craft room. I am the only one that uses this room and it already housed most of my craft supplies so I figured why not go all the way and make this one room specifically mine. Since I have been making such headway, I thought I would blog everyday this week about a different project that I accomplished and then have a big reveal on Thursday. Today is day one, and I am gonna start with the first project I got finished, my craft cabinet.

Originally, this was an entertainment center in Lon's grandma's house. She was gonna sell it at her yardsale a few months ago, but when I measured it I asked her if she would sell it to me instead since it would fit perfectly into my craft room. She said no, and I was shocked. She said no she wouldn't sell it to me, that she would give it to me for free. Now we're talking! Here it is before...
And after...

Here are all the details. When my brother in law Richard was here for our staycation in June, I had him attach a piece of beadboard to the back.
I was too lazy to actually prime the whole thing, so I just spray painted it and let the spray paint act as a primer. It worked well enough.

I then decided I wanted it a fun color. This is afterall the only truly girly space in my house, so I decided on turquoise blue. Well, "Escape" if you want to get technical.

After I got a couple baskets from Hobby Lobby and piled some of my craft supplies on it, I was done.

The crown is my old ironing board I finally hung. I have told you about this old ironing board before, but had no place to put it. Well it finally found a home and I love it here.

What do you think? If you like this be sure to check back the rest of the week for even more wild color choices. Let's just say I still have a ways to go on the window treatment. Lon says it looks like a mullet. Maybe tomorrow you can see it and judge for yourself.

I'm linking this post up on DIY Thursday at ASPTL. If you want some serious inspiration, go there on Thursdays!
