Craft Room - Part 2

I'm seeing a little more and more accomplished on my craft room since I last showed you the start of it all. If you haven't seen where it all began, click here. We moved this old oak wardrobe in from the other room. I remember when I bought this piece. Years ago I was diligently looking for an old piece to store sewing supplies. My mother and I were making a day of shopping at junk stores and I found her! Oh my, you would have thought I struck GOLD! We loaded her up in my little yellow Nissan station wagon and carried her home. She was almost bigger than the car, but we made it. Since then, she's been moved to several different rooms.. and homes.

I spruced her up with new fabric gathered in the door and an old key and a tassel.

I've had this basket for years too. I painted the band and handles to match my decor...

and made a little card so I wouldn't forget what's stored in it. And yes, I would forget!!

I also moved my cutting table from the other room. I made it from a door and it works great to cut fabric, make crafts, etc. I don't have to worry about doing damage to the top since it doesn't really matter. I painted and varnished the top to match my new decor and made a skirt for it to hide sewing storage.

I just pleated the fabric about every inch or so and stapled it to the table with a staple gun. Then I cut a bias strip from red fabric two inches wide and folded. I used a glue gun to attach to my skirt and it hides my staples nicely. Well, it's coming together, slowly but surely. I still have some ideas so I'll share with you when they happen.
