My Creative Space - Part 2

If you enjoyed part 1 of the tour of my creative space, I hope you'll check out the rest.
With limited space, how I stored things has been a big part of adapting this room to be a craft room.
my creative space part 2, cleaning tips, craft rooms, storage ideas
I love storage options that are pretty as well as functional.
I made this pretty storage box with 25 drawers to hold all my itty bitty scrapbooking embellishments. It looks great up on top of my storage unit when not in use and when it is required I keep it on my desk.

All of the shelved storage units in the room have soft, flowing curtains to keep the room looking neat and tidy. The overall effect is very feminine and romantic.

An added bonus of having my creative supplies on show is they are easily accessed and I don't forget what I have.

I like to move things around every few weeks, just to keep it all fresh and inspiring... plus I keep making new things!!

Lodi’s Room Reveal Complete With New Light Fixtures!

Lodi’s Room Reveal Complete With New Light Fixtures!

Lodi’s Room Reveal complete with New Light Fixtures! Starting at the beginning… When I renovated this home back in 2014-2015 I designed this as a wide hallway which included a huge closet made specifically to house a 6 foot chest freezer. At the end of the hall I put our “back door” which included a doggie door in it – which was a great straight shot out of the house for my big dog at the time. In 2018 I got rid of the chest freezer and I was playing around with making this wasted area into a reading nook / day bed / dog bed area and putting up some kind of gate so I could lock dogs back here whenever I needed to…

DIY Space-Saving Poster Board Storage Hack

DIY Space-Saving Poster Board Storage Hack

Learn how to store your poster boards, photo backdrops, foam boards, and tri-fold boards so they’re out of the way and safe from damage using this smart hack.Whether you’re a crafter, photographer, or mom of junior high kids, you’ve probably got poster boards on hand. And it’s also very likely that you have them pushed up against a wall in a closet, and you curse at them weekly because they’re always falling down. Poster boards are a staple for so many projects, but they’re hard to store and organize…until now. I found an awesome hack to keep them out of the way and always upright, and it works in any size of home. I tried it in my craft room, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

Trash to Treasure, Pottery Barn Dupe - Console Table

Trash to Treasure, Pottery Barn Dupe - Console Table

I am showing you yet ANOTHER curbside find. If you have followed me for awhile then you know that it is usually my husband that finds me good furniture in the trash (that I then turn into treasure). However, I scored BIG when a friend of mine who is a realtor and just sold a house in her neighborhood, texted me a picture of a huge pile of nice furniture that this client had put out for the trash. Good stuff too. She knows I like to makeover furniture so she said she thought of me immediately. Needless to say we rushed over there and took a bunch of things. Check out this pile….Will ya look at all this good stuff!!!

Outdoor Curtain Rods for Aluminum Screen Room

I didn't want to use metal screws to attach any kind of curtain rod hardware to my aluminum uprights in my screen room. If you've ever priced "outdoor" tension curtain rods (glorified shower curtain rods) you know they are very expensive starting at @$40 and up. I needed 5 of them.

Mailbox Makeover

Mailbox Makeover

For three and a half years, Handan and I were the shameful owners of The Saddest Mailbox on the Lane. Each day, I would watch our neighbors waltz out to retrieve fan mail, love letters, large checks, gift packages and sweepstakes award notifications from their resplendent black mailboxes sitting atop flawless white perches, their posts tucked into rich, loamy soil bursting with all the colorful flowers of the season. I would wait at the window, watching and gnashing my teeth, until the shadows grew long, and then I would slink down the driveway to our nut-brown plastic disgrace to retrieve the day’s grim serving of unpaid bills, summonses, tickets, coupon books for products we never use and menus for the worst pizza joints in town. With furtive, sidelong glances, I would scurry back up the driveway like a wharf rat running from a drunken sailor’s boot. I would feel the eyes of the neighborhood boring into my back and my ears would ring with their clucking tongues.Holidays were the worst time. Once I tried to tip the mailman for Christmas. I left an envelope with $20 in the mailbox. When I slunk down to get the mail the next evening, I saw that he hadn’t taken the envelope. I opened it and saw $40 and a note. I unfolded the note and read:Please! For the love of God, PLEASE get a new mailbox!!Merry Christmas.(GET A NEW MAILBOX!)I think he was trying to tell me something.

Gentlemen’s Chest Transformed Into Pretty Storage for Craft Supplies

Gentlemen’s Chest Transformed Into Pretty Storage for Craft Supplies

Our garage is not climate controlled and has poor lighting, so I mainly work on projects inside the house. I needed a storage solution for my craft supplies, that would fit with the style of our home, that would enable easy access to my supplies.I found a cedar lined gentlemen’s chest with castors online that worked perfectly! But it was a bit dark and drab for my taste. So I’ve been slowly transforming it over time. As you will see, the items around it change, because after each step I just moved on to another project and came back to this whenever inspiration struck. I'm sure many of my fellow DIYers can relate to this! LOL

DIY Ottoman Made From an Old Tire

DIY Ottoman Made From an Old Tire

This is my favorite kind of DIY project, cheap, easy and environmentally friendly! After updating my bathroom and closet, I needed to spruce up the bedroom. I’m loving the bohemian look these days, so what better than a ottoman made from a repurposed material like an old tire? A not so fun fact about tire disposal is that tires are one of the most problematic sources of waste we face today. 44 States have banned them from landfills, but the recycling process is expensive and almost always passed on to the consumer. Tire DIY /repurposing projects could help, even if just a little….

Shiplap Wall: How To Do It Cheap & Easy

Shiplap Wall: How To Do It Cheap & Easy

When I decided to update our family room I knew that I wanted a white shiplap fireplace accent wall. The texture and rustic wood not only give the walls a bit of dimension, but it also adds a visual focal point for the room. Not to mention, I love the way shiplap looks! However, I was not interested in paying almost $10 per board! So I set out to find a cheap shiplap option.We purchased a few sheets of 8×4 plywood from Home Depot and the nice thing is that they cut it for us! I wanted to go with a thicker 8-inch look, so we had them cut each sheet into 6 strips.

The Easiest Way to Make a Patio Lantern

The Easiest Way to Make a Patio Lantern

If you like lanterns and you want to have the most romantic and cozy atmosphere on your patio or porch, don’t throw out your large glass jars. Yes, you read that right! All you need is large glass jars and knitting yarn. I’m sure you have those large pickles jars and I’m sure you have knitting yarn at home. If not my friends, hurry to your grandma's to get some.The project is so easy, you just have to hot glue the knitting yarn or any other thick thread in any color you desire to your clean glass jar. I did the first one and it took me longer because I was recording. But the second one I made in about 10 minutes total. The result is just amazing. I love how it adds ornamentation to my patio. I put candles or fairy lights inside to make my place magical.in this project, I literally upcycled everything from the top to the bottom to the handles. It cost me $0 (yes, zero dollars!) to make these stunning lanterns for my patio.They are so cute that I’ll put them inside by my fireplace after the summer.Ps: this lantern is very beautiful in black also.Watch the full tutorial in the video below.

Reclaiming Natural Beauty and Why I Didn’t Paint It

Reclaiming Natural Beauty and Why I Didn’t Paint It

Why did I choose to reclaim this natural beauty instead of painting it? Because sometimes you see a beautiful piece and you have plans to accent it with paint but when you try something different than your usual. You like it even more. You see that reclaiming natural beauty makes it shine.

DIY Painted And Glazed Side Table

DIY Painted And Glazed Side Table

This DIY Painted And Glazed Side Table took a sad thrift store table and turned it into something that is pretty again in a few, short steps. I found this table at my local Salvation Army store. Usually, when I find pieces at this store, they are priced so high that I don’t even get excited about something to catch my eye from a distance. This little guy did catch my eye, but I took my time getting to it, stopping to check out other things along the way.

Easy DIY Pedestal Bowl

I love wooden bowls and pedestal stands. I figured why not combine my love for both into one piece! I have actually made various pedestal holders in the past, using different types of materials. That's the great thing about this project! It isn't limited to one type of material.For this project, I used a glass candle holder, wood bowl, and chalk paint to create a pretty little pedestal!**Estimated cost is based on what I paid. I had all the supplies on hand before starting.**

Our DIY Faux Brick Fireplace

Our DIY Faux Brick Fireplace

When we first moved into our builder-grade home, I remember being so excited to have a fireplace. Every year around Christmas I would think to myself “Ugh, I need a mantel!” Well, other projects always seemed to take priority, and here we are 14 years later – still no mantle and some ugly outdated tiles to go along with it. Well, this is the year – my DIY Fireplace makeover is finally happening!I landed on a farmhouse style fireplace. We had recently added a shiplap wall so I knew I wanted to go with a dark wood mantel that was much wider than the fireplace itself and obviously that tile needed to go! I have been really into the white brick look, so I opted for a “faux brick fireplace” using tile and wide white trim.Like I said, my design was based on a white brick look so I researched options for the fireplace. When we finished our basement, I was able to create a fake brick wall using wall panels, but that wasn’t going to work here. So after searching high and low I was able to find a “faux” brick fireplace tile at Home Depot online. It’s called Capella White Brick tiles that were 2 ⅓ x 10 inches.

Framed Shiplap Gallery Wall

Framed Shiplap Gallery Wall

If you don't have the space for a true gallery wall or you are like me and like to change things around every month (or week) this might be the solution for you! We had this blank wall (that we filled with a clock) for over a year and I was ready to commit to something, I just wasn’t sure yet. That is until I stumbled upon the Instagram account of Erin_Sunnysideup . Her home is not only but according to my Pinterest boards I’ve been low key creeping on her home for the past few years and didn’t know it 😬. So I saw that she had this perfect shiplap framed area in her home that she uses as a photo wall and it was love at first sight! This is my Husband and I’s recreation; I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It’s definitely one of my favorite projects we have done and I can’t wait to see how I use this over time!
