  • You'll need a container, gravel or small stones, charcoal, potting soil, some small plants and fun doodads to liven the place up.
  • This is the cracker jar with its silver lid.  I scuffed the lid up with sandpaper and spray painted it a pretty turquoise color.

  • I had these old legs lying around at the shop, but you can purchase similar legs at a home improvement store.  The square ends made it easier to attach to the drawer.
  • An old drawer I had left over from a dresser turned media cabinet.  I filled the holes so I could use different hardware.
  • I lined the drawer with a plastic tray and attached it to the bottom of the drawer to catch any run off from watering the plants. (I did have to cut it to make it fit, but then just sealed it with a silicone bead so it wouldn't leak.

  • The Beginning. Clean the concrete floor very well.  Then paint the floor with 2 coats of Kilz water based sealer. Let it dry overnite.  Next day streak entire floor with acrylic paint wood colors in one direction. I used bamboo tones. 1
  • Finished Floor. When paint streaks are dry, create the lines with a black permanent Sharpie pen that represent the boards. I did 6"x3' boards. stagger the boards approx 12" like wood floors. Darken a few boards for natural variation. 13
  • My Studio.  When boards are to your liking and paint is dry, apply at least 4 coats of polyurethane over the entire floor. Let dry 3 days before putting furniture on it and 2 weeks before dragging across floor. Voila!  You did it.
