How to Rust Shiny Metal in Minutes!

Furniture for the Craft Room

Choose the right surface: The type of surface in any craft room depends on what type of crafts you do. Think about your needs so you can choose the right one for you.
Pick functional chairs: Choose chairs to complement your work surface and match its height. If you're spending long hours crafting, think about ergonomics.
Include optimal cabinet space: Cabinets are a great addition to a craft room, providing a place to store supplies that are out of sight, leaving the space clutter-free.
Installing shelves for storage: Shelves are essential for storing supplies in any craft room. Vary their heights and sizes so that they meet your needs.
Repurposing a chest of drawers: A chest of drawers may seem better for storing clothing, but using drawer organizers can help you store craft supplies instead.

Turn a $60 Computer Armoire Into a Cricut Craft Cabinet

We are in the process of remodeling our home office, and with that, my desk space in the office no longer exists (Hubs works at home full time so it made more sense for it to become his office instead of a shared office). I needed an area for crafting, but the only room with space is my living room, so, I had to find a solution where my crafting space could be in the living room, without looking like a crafting space (since that would make my OCD-ish tendencies flare!) I searched Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist for weeks until I found the perfect solution: an oak computer armoire that someone was selling for $60! I added some shelving for my vinyl sheets to the top shelf and I refinished it to create the perfect crafting space. Best of all, when the doors are closed, it blends in with the furniture and you can't tell it contains crafting supplies! Here is an abbreviated version of my tutorial for converting this to my craft cabinet. You can find the full tutorial, more pictures, and links to the items I used to organize this cabinet on my blog post located here: https://www.pinspiredtodiy.com/cricut-craft-cabinet/

How to Quickly Clean and Update Your Old Cabinet Hinges

We just moved into our home a few months ago and it definitely needed some updating. We decided to start in the kitchen with new appliances. Black stainless beauties 😍 That's when we really noticed how "80's" our kitchen cabinets were! They were in good shape, just wrong color. So we decided to just paint them! The hinges were terribly dirty with a film over them and brass colored. So here's a step by step how I quickly cleaned them and then painted them to match the black stainless appliances....

How to Install Overlay or "Hidden" Cabinet Hinges

When we started the kitchen remodel, my husband really wanted to do all new cabinets. I talked him out of it because the ones we have are functional, solid wood and really just needed refreshing (not to mention cabinets are very expensive!). So he conceded but said he really hated the hinges. The hinges?! So here was my solution to those eyesore hinges.

How to Make DIY Boho Decoupage Fabric Drawer Knobs

I wanted to cheer up and brighten a bedroom chest of drawers and thought the easiest way to do this on a budget is to change the knobs! I had sorted out my wardrobe and found an old cotton kaftan top that didn't fit anymore and really loved the vibrant design so thought I'd put it to use with my drawer knob makeover.

DIY Craft Table

I am an avid budget friendly DIYer… In fact, I love crafting so much that I decided to turn a hobby into somewhat of a business. The only problem is that my crafting addiction was taking over my home. There were craft supplies on the dining table, on the kitchen counter, in the living room, in the bathtub. Ok, maybe not the bathtub, but literally they were everywhere! I have a spare bedroom that served as storage and that is just no way to live! So I decided I would clean it up and create my very own craft space. I began my project with a DIY craft table!

Butcher Block for Our Computer Desk for $50.00

Having a builder built computer desk was great but the plastic top never sat right with me. It is a long desk top (96 inches) and IKEA did not have the right size for us so we had no choice but make it. I did not want to spend so much on it so my husband and I came up with a plan.

Furniture Update With Hardware

Do you want to update a piece of your furniture, but you really don't want to paint it? I was dealing with the same issue. We use a dresser in our master bedroom that was in my room as a child. It is a good piece of furniture, but it looked dated. I decided to switch out the pulls, and it made a huge difference.

DIY Filing Cabinet Desk

I have been using the plastic crates filing system for our important papers but I have never loved it. It is nice that it is portable, especially during hurricane season, and that's about it. Having a filing cabinet in the office was a must so I decided to go with a filing cabinet desk. This is not a new concept, I pinned several similar desks years ago. Also, there are a few options available to buy already done but I wanted something custom and cheap....as usual.

How to Change a Drawer Pull to Knob. 2 Holes to 1!!!

I love changing the hardware on my freshly painted furniture pieces to give them that extra "one-of-a-kind", custom look. New drawer knobs can completely transform a piece. Getting rid of dated brass pulls for new knobs can totally update a piece. Or changing black iron knobs, to crystal can take a piece from being overly masculine, to pretty and feminine.

How to Paint Old Metal Lockers

Nearly everyone is looking for ways to have more storage in their home. Storage solutions are especially great when they keep clutter out of sight. Storage solutions are even better when they are unique and add to the overall look and feel of a room, rather than detract from it. Therefore, let me present to you: refinished metal lockers! They are a unique storage solution for a mudroom, entryway, laundry room, bedroom or really any room in your home. They keep clutter out of sight and bonus: they can be very inexpensive! In this tutorial I'll show you how I refinished old rusty metal lockers. I then placed them in my mudroom to provide some great storage for my family's belongings. If you want to see more of my mudroom projects or other projects around my home, head to my blog: https://www.thehandcraftedhaven.com/.
