Yeah. I have a crafting problem.
Still, there's no denying a baby needs a nursery. I'd just have to be one of those part-time crafters, with a big mess of boxes in the attic that take over my dining room table at Halloween when costumes need making.
But I'm getting ahead of myself! For instance, you should know this was first a closet. In our guest bedroom. Receiving zero love.
Recognize the color?? I've used it all over my house. And here on the website too!
Let's be honest. If you confined me to a white-wall cell, I'd go even more insane. Painting was a MUST. Thankfully, we had a lot of leftover paint so all it cost was a few hours of manual labor.
We mounted the desk top to 2x2's drilled into studs in the wall. This thing isn't going anywhere!
So.. now you've got a desk in a closet. How do you class it up? Fabric-wrapped cork board, and Wainscoting squares.
As it turns out, being a hoarder totally paid off for this project. We had the cork board since designing Daniel's work space in college, and the the wainscoting scraps were leftover from an earlier house project.
This is my favorite part. Magically... everything. EVERYTHING. had a place in this closet. Yards of fabric neatly organized in the black drawers under the desk, scraps organized in bins by size, miscellaneous crafting supplies in mason jars. Purrrr-fection.
That binder? Filled with patterns. ORGANIZED patterns.
There you have it! The 24 hour conversion of a closet to a craft room! Did I mention the whole project cost just shy of $40? As in four-zero. Not bad right?
