Craft Room Makeover:

Then, just an extra bedroom:

Craft Room Reveal

Baskets and vintage crates hold craft paints, ribbon, sewing supplies, glues, hand tools, stamps, tape, etc.

I love my flea market finds: Wire paper bin and wooden carpenter’s tool box, old crates…

The walls are covered with pretty things I’ve collected over the years, family photos, yard sale treasures, things that inspire me, TLC art and DIY art.

Ribbon scraps in mason jars…

Fun string of round bulb lights create a circus/party atmosphere…

Powder Room #1 Transformation:

First, let’s take a look at the before picture. Keep in mind that previous owners foreclosed on this old farmhouse and that we lived with this room stripped completely for over a year (that nasty carpet and fixtures were gone)! Thank goodness for my ability to see potential, otherwise this alone would have had us running the other direction!

BEFORE – gross!

AFTER

See the details at Powder Room Transformation.

Originally a closet. I could have patched where the hinges were, but I really like that it’s history shows.

The door and trim got a makeover too…

I added a built in shelf above the toilet…

Wall color is Benjamin Moore Smoke.
