I'm really tickled with how it turned out!
It's not a big MAJOR make-over, just a few things changed here & there for VERY little money...a lot of the big changes came from items I recycled from around my own house! The beef of it was ORGANIZING (otherwise known as "hiding my crap in canvas bins")...
(I'm joking) ;)

Keep in mind how BAAAAAAAD it looked before!
(I just went back & looked...WOW, that was REALLY bad...)
((I can't believe you came back after seeing that...))
Well, I got my act together now...
Welcome BACK to my craft room...
let's squeeze in here again for another look!

After I painted my chairs blue, I cleaned the table OFF & just loved the light dancing off that dark surface....so, I decided that I would wait on painting the big table. Of course, it really IS "a perfectly good table", you know! ;)

Remember my MESS behind the door?
That mess is now the "mess in the closet under the stairs" (& I'll deal with that later)...LOL
Now I have a spot to put my sewing machine & cutting board...AND my basket to catch papers & artwork from the kids....hidden away, nice & neat(ish).


That basket tower that I was using to hoard STUFF is now at the end of the counter & houses camera straps to sew, straps that are ready to sell AND the bottom box is the hubby's "To Shred" box now....hidden away, nice & neat...;)

I ordered letters from Marliyn & added this fun green one on my tub (it is on there slightly crooked & is driving me INSANE)...fabric board all decked out with people I love...fabric put away & labeled.


The mail catcher is cleaned out(ish) & books and camera goodies are all stored away in their own canvas bins...the only thing I'm missing is Edward Cullen (*sniff*).


SO, there ya go!
Not so bad now, huh? ;)
I spent VERY little on this job...the canvas baskets were the most expensive items (from Lowe's)...in all I didn't spent more than $65.
I feel so super thrifty now! ;)
And speaking of THRIFTY, you have got to come back & see what I found at Goodwill today...it is divine...I can't WAIT to get my spray paint & staple gun out after it!!

Come back & visit soon...we'll make something at my CLEAN table! ;)
& I'm dying to tell you about my changes...I DO know that a few of you have already figured out what it is...(I love that link tracker)....you just had to get your CSI on, now didn't you! ;)
Change IS coming, soon!
Night, y'all!

Wow! Way to go! Everything looks soooo organized! I always feel soooo much better after I throw my crap in canvas bins too!
You are killing me!! First of all, you better watch out because I might sneak in and steal those GREEN dotty curtains and 2nd...what is the surprise???
It looks FAB!! I LOVE the blue chairs. You did a great job. Now you are thrifty, you went to the goodwill, I have never been. Can't wait to see what your painting.
I think I know what the suprise is?!!
Do bring that icecream maker and we will make that cobbler again!
Looks great! You are inspiring me to work on my creative place. I have lost my creative mojo in all the clutter in there!
