Bedroom make over.

I had this fabric in my shop for quite a while. I wanted to make simple curtains with it. I added some green tassel trim to the top that I removed from some old curtains...have to repurpose and use again...!! I also like the "puddle" look.

  • Repurpose an old hutch for upper cabinet storage for a laundry room

Repurposed Hutch for Laundry Room

In lieu of expensive upper cabinets, I found a $35 hutch on Craigslist that had previously lived on a buffet. We mounted it to our wall with four 100lb brackets and 4" screws into studs. I painted it white and covered the doors with chicken wire. It now houses all my laundry products and cookbooks. Such an affordable way to create storage! More details on the room are on my blog http://www.killerbdesigns.com/a-laundry-room...
