  • 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!

  • Architectural salvage, finds from junk stores and antiques shops, plus off the shelf items from a few Big Box hardware stores come together to create a warm and functional kitchen. 13
  • A hymnal rack from the back of a pew hangs above the stove and creates a place to display favorite platters. 3
  • An antique Hoosier cabinet base makes a kitchen island. A rather large wire basket serves as additional storage.
  • 3
  • Some beadboard, and standard lumber form a beautifully chic way to disguise unsightly exhaust fans. Find the DIY tutorial on www.shabbyfrenchcottage.com 2

  • A little styling makes open shelving beautiful and functional. No more wondering where something is--you can see it all. Not show:Even my pantry cupboard has glass doors--I can see at a glance what I need to pick up at the market. I will say I am super OCD and make sure all my labels face forward. I even buy the store brand from one grocery store of all my canned goods because the packaging looks vintage. 2
  • A metal ceiling tile and antique wall sconce create a focal point above this sink. 3

  • Storing favorite dishes under cake domes keeps them dust free and makes for an interesting visual. 3

My $1,200.00 Kitchen Remodel

If you're familiar with the internet at all, you've probably seen my kitchen before. I renovated it April of 2011 on a $1,200.00 budget and posted the progress and results on my website, ...»
www.shabbyfrenchcottage.com. It has been viral online since then! It was also featured as a Cover Story in the September 2011 issue of Romantic Homes Magazine!
