Office & Craft Room Makeover

I have totally moved and made over my office and craft room!! I am so excited to get organized and still have it so pretty. I divided it into 3 areas- work, craft and sewing... I shared ...»

  • This quirky, double wide sized pallet wood chair is all decked out, ready for a great summer read.
  • Two pallets, 4 legs and two armrest boards are really all it took. So easy! The trick is to ensure you find two pallets that are similar in size.
  • Let's add more quirk to make it totally yours! This signboard was used as an armrest. Note how wide the board is... perfect for my coffee cup. Priorities here...
  • This leg has an antique level attached. This project is a little like 'Where's Waldo's Wild Additions?'
  • Pallet markings were celebrated by placing them in prominent places. Coffee bean sacks acting like large pillow cases were just tucked in place. No sewing required. 2
  • For the legs, a little bracing was required inside the pallet so the leg had something to stabilize against.
  • Tell me that isn't one big cool chair to curl up in! But let's add some comfort...
  • 5" foam cut to size (new from a foam shop) was key for the ultimate comfort.
  • This is a pallet SOFA I made last year, decked out in total bohemian style craziness. The build is much more size customized: http://www.funkyjunkinteriors.net/2011/08/how-i-built-pallet-sofa-part-2.html

A two pallet chair ANYONE can build in a jiffy!

There's nothing like a need to bring on a new project!

pallets and little more. I kid you not! This is the easiest build in the world and you'll wonder why you didn't think of it first!

  • After- two coats of paint and top coat. I followed the directions on the Lacquer and added light coats, not heavy because the lacquer will turn white. 6

  • Kick your rock gardens up a notch and plant them in something instead. I chose a collection of old kettles. Loving the elevation and junky detail!
  • My little helper Teddy was busy scoping out the area. Approved! Whew... don't mess with a cat I say. 5
  • Each kettle got two rock garden plants, plus were further enhanced with some sticks and stones for a truer rock garden feel.
  • Please don't ask me what these pretty plants are, I'm not a label reader at all (gasp!) but you're welcome to tell ME if YOU know! 2

Forget the tea... these old kettles pour out rock gardens!

I adore working in the garden. Silent therapy in the sunshine while creating... doesn't get much better than that! ...»

Part of my Hometalk Meetup / Out of Africa event was doing something gardenish with junk. So I set about creating little rock gardens inside old kettles. Once I got them home, I found a perfect little corner for the small group.

The tea can wait... I want to plant more!

What's your favourite junky planter to use? I'd love more ideas!
