  • An empty Parmesan cheese container makes the perfect container for homemade carpet powder.
  • Just 2 ingredients - stir them up together & you're good to go!
  • Just sprinkle it on the carpet, let it sit for a few minutes, and vacuum it all up.

Homemade Carpet Powder

Carpet powder is one product that I can't do without. Even though it is a reasonable price, I buy so much of it that it works out to be pretty expensive. Plus, it doesn't always work as ...»
well as I like.

Homemade carpet powder to the rescue!! It's cheap to make & it has not met an odor that it doesn't take care of. And I have 8 indoor animals - I should know!

You only need 2 ingredients to prepare a batch. Check out the link for the simple tutorial.

  • How my craft room look so far. It's coming along nicely! It contains a thrifted vintage drafting table, a DIY card catalog, and a thrifted shelf. 4
  • This $5.00 shelf from the thrift store was lined in inexpensive contact paper from Target, and mod podged to the back. Love it!
  • I love the way this drafting table is perpendicular to the wall. It helps to create a more definite crafting area back in this part fo the room, since hubby needs the other part for work. 2
  • I flanked the end of the drafting table with this $15 yard sale bookcase that I painted while. It holds all my sewing, knitting, and home improvement books. 2
  • 4
  • Cute little $1.00 thrift store cup, which sits on my drafting table.
  • It can hold any scissors or markers.
  • The shelf was painted and distressed and waxed. I lined it with contact paper from Target that cost only $5.00 for a big roll! Cheaper than scrapbook paper or wallpaper. And I upcycle old tin cans to hold suppies. 2
  • On the drafting table, I'm using a vintage shoe shine kit to hold paper and supplies. Love it! Only $6.00 4
  • This is what it looked like for a whole year after we moved in: brown, ugly, and cold. AND a cluttered desk.
  • The room just got messier and messier!
  • I finally had to do something about it. I wanted turquoise! So I got primin'.
  • Now that the furniture placement is figured out, the next step is setting up the Ikea Expedit bookcase to hide all the clutter of crafting supplies!
  • There's no way I could leave this Ikea Expedit like this! The baskets are so expensive, though--like $30 each! I'll find an inexpensive alternative. 4
  • Here's the BEFORE of the shelf that is hanging above the drafting table. Only $5.00 at the thrift store!
  • I painted it with Annie Sloan Old White chalk paint. 2
  • My $40 sewing cabinet found at the thrift store. 2
  • This $40 thrift store sewing cabinet converts to a full-sized table, and my machine pops out the top :) I can't wait to paint it! 1

My Thrifted Craft Room

All the pieces of furniture in my craft room have come from the thrift store or bought second-hand! It's still "IN PROGRESS" but I will be finished soon! Here's a look at its progress and how inexpensive it's was to furnish!
