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...
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.
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!
